Clone it !

IT'S NOT THE CARD........................I would defintely check the connections. They can loose the tight connection over time and the slightest bit of moisture in the connection can cause corrision and loose the signal transfer. When units start loosing some reception .it is also the aiming of the dish. It can need re-aligned
Why clone.........just write your own program..:)

R U talking about emulation with an HU? not working for more than a day?

Check your connections! I had similar issues, and turned out it was a bad cable.

Thanks for all the ideas. That will be my New Years day project, checking all these things out. Well, maybe it will be my New Years day afternoon project. Will see how I feel after tonight :D

I will let you know what I find.

Happy New Year !

Opinion here only but if it were cables or LNB I would think all the channels would be bad. I’d lean towards blaming the box … take it to someone’s house and try it there.

ok Russ.......no coment.:rolleyes: :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Wardey

I've had the same problem.
Turned out to be the connection at the dish. Only affected some channels, just like what you're experiencing.

D_Casten- That is what I use to think but I have learned otherwise over the years. But never say never.

Ok, here is another one......
Dual LNB's dual recievers
1 in the house, 1 in the shop (of course!)
The one in the house "freezes" in digital blocks on some weekends and others are fine. Signal strength is over 90. Again, clear weather, no trees- same dish.... signal strength is at the reciever end. It appears to me like Direct TV is doing a "download" to block hackers, but they deny that (I used to see that happen on EMU system before). What's the deal??
:confused:

UMMM... GUYS DON'T BE DISCUSSING PROGRAMMING ON HERE... ;)

I used to do contract work for NDS on these little things even the new ones have hidden tallents.. ;)

I would check the LNB and maybe the reciever or the cable, sounds like you may have a voltage issue in the LNB.
