problems getting hbo channels

[edwards81]

I just finished installing a rca dual lnb with 3 receivers, everything is ok but the HBO channels do not come up. My signal meter reads 90 and I have also tried different transponders.Any help ?

make sure you check all 32 transponders if they are all working then check to make sure you are on all channels on the listings otherwise they should be working

Each transponder handles a group of channels, not one transponder for them all. are you getting signal on all of the xponders? In your post you said that you are running three IRDs on a duel LNB. Are you useing a multi switch to do that or are you useing a splitter? The loss of channels can be caused by the use of a splitter b4 the IRD, also.

I am running dual lmb two lines drop down into a spaun 4 way multiswitch then out to 3 rca receivers.I just changed the lnb just in case and I still have this problem.The only channels missing is HBO all others are ok in the 500's.Could it be the service?

Most transponders give signal not all 32.I can't what transponder give no signal but it might be above 26.

I had a similar problem. I believe HBO's are on transponder 2, but could be wrong. My problem was the LNB. Hope this helps.

Have you tried to just run two IRDs and skip the multiswitch?Are you missing HBO on all three ?Use the process of elimination and do one thing at a time.First just run one unit on each line and see if you get full programing.If you have everything on one ,and a problem on another then switch lines and see if the problem switches too.It might just be a coax problem or a fitting that wont allow the voltage to pass to the LNB.
