My Sony SAT HD-100 Receiver wont turn on? It all started about 6 months ago when receiver could not find a signal. I called D* and they could not figure out the problem, they had me do all the normal stuff and nothing worked. I got busy and just watched cable instead of D*.
Today, I figured I would try to get my D* back up. The Sony HD-100 would not power up, so I unplugged it and then plugged it back in and it fired up, but no signal. I started playing with the coax and blem on it and cleaned the copper wire that plugged into the receiver, and I noticed that I was able to receive a signal if I did not screw the coax in all the way. I continued to to wiggle the wire and then the recieved just shut down? I tied unplugging it and rebooting but it still does not turn on?
Note: I only have (1) receiver in my house, so I can not try another receiver.
Is there anything I can do to bring it back to life? I really like this receiver (HD, RF, SAT/Cable input).
If it is receiver is dead, can I get it repaired? If not what is the best recevier on the market that has all the bells and whistles? is it the HD20?
Thanks!!!
