Hello:
I just bought a used hughes gxcebot tivo.
I also just got a brand new oval dish. Older unit with
interchangable lnbs. Unit has a NON powered channel master multi switch with 4 inputs, two for sat a, two for sat b, and 4 outputs for 4 irds.
Units are all hooked up.
Both tunners and 2 other irds.
Problem:
Have drd102 and 420 hooked to other out puts.
They both say searching for sat signal!
Tivo does not reconize sat A on either tunner.
No guide, stays at needing updates.
Sigal meter strong for sat B on both tunners, and zero for sat A on both.
Switched lnb inputs to switch from a to b sat.
Now Backwards from labels and instructions.
Now will not reconize sat b and a is good on hughes.
Will load guide and works fine for sat A.
Says error cannot reconize sat b and i ignored it in order to play with it.
Unit works!
Sat b shows up on guide.
When you tune to channels on sat b it says no signal!
Now the other units work.
Drd102rw reconizes and plays channels on sat a AND b.
Same ird works good on all multi switch outputs.
Drd420 works the same.
Whats the problem?
Do i have a bad multi switch?
I think its bad but its brand new.
Weak tunners in tivo?
Configurstion problem?
Incompatible hardware?
Ive been trying to figure it out, but its got me.
