Getting signals between 82 & 90 on all 3 birds!Using a eagle aspen 5in4 out multi switch - & a dtc-100 reciever for hd. I do get signals on transponders 8,10,12 & channel 90 comes in but no hdshow ??? It does show up in guide,but no picture or sound.Also tried using sat combiner too !!!
Please Help ???????:mad:

I have the same problem, but I don't get channel 90. Channels 90 and 543 do show up in the guides but I get "searching for Sat." Also I get nothing on 8,10, and 12. I also have a DTC-100 built into my tv (RCA F38310). In doing past searches looks like other have had similar problems with the DTC-100. I have even tried installing a new 5x4 multiswitch. Here is my post:

With the Sat C kit there is a combiner. Check that you have the feed from 110 and 119 connected to the correct side of the combiner. The combiner should have labels telling you which is for 110 or 119.
Also check that receiver is set up for Oval 3 Sat config.
Depending on what kind of script you are using on your HU card, you may have to add the tiers for HDnet 199, ShowtimeHD 543 and HBOhd 509.
If using activation you would have to have those tiers included.
