I upgraded to the HR-20 and was receiving my local hd channels for about a week.  Then,,gone.  I have had three techs come out and still nothing.  The dish is not blocked by obstructions, I have reset it, switched the cables, and got a replacement box.  The software has been updated also.  Still no signal on the 103degree setting.  Any suggestions?

Maybe the switch went bad or someting in the setup between the switch and the dish.

I think he's referring to the multiswitch, just like the one that's inside my basement wall that takes the feed from the dish and sends it to 4 TVs.  And the first one they installed was defective, so they do go bad.

I don't have one of those.  I am only running 1 tv with DVR service.  It goes form the dish to a ground block, then to my TV.  The other HD channels work along with the other regular channels.  I have a 90+ signal on most sattelites but the #103 comes up with 0.  Is there 1 lnb that just does that sattelite?

Yes. That is why I said the switch or something in the install.

You could have a bad connection to that LNB, call DTV and have send someone out to look at it.

I will give it a try.  If there is only 1 lnb that controls only that sattelite than It has to be it.  thank you.

Just remember there is still a switch that may  be bad.  In your case it's probably in the Dish Feed itself like mine is.
