digital channel signal strength is low

I have three receivers in my house, two are Hughes and work fine, the other one is Direct TV and the TV states "digital channel signal strength is low".  this receiver has been replaced once already and worked for a few months, but hasn't worked now for several months.  I've let it go because it's in the kitchen and I don't watch that one very much.  Over the past few weeks I've disconnected all the cables and electrical and re-connected them with the same results.  Do I need a better stronger receiver for this one room?  This received states it's reconditioned.

The message you are seeing is coming from the TV itself I believe.  How is the D11 connected to the TV?  When you say it hasn't "worked" does that mean you get nothing but that message?  If that be the case I'd say you have the TV set to the wrong input.

Yes, your TV is set to the digital (ATSC) tuner, which receives signals from an external antenna, and is not set to the input from DirecTV.

Thanks, I'm all set now.  I don't know how the set was changed, but it obviously was.
