Periodic Pixelation/Reduced Signal from Legacy Receiver
I have an SWM8, 4 receivers (2 HD-DVR's, 1 non HD DVR and a single tuner non DVR - 7 tuners) and a 5th "legacy receiver" connected to it (R15) - 8 total tuners. All of the non-legacy receivers work great. I get extreme pixelation on the legacy receiver probably about half the time we have it on - to the point where we really can't use the TV (when I run the signal strength while pixelation is occurring many of the readings are in the 50s-60s) . I have tried a 2nd receiver (R16), thinking it may be a receiver issue, same problem occurred. At someones suggestion, I tried connecting the receiver directly to the dish (i.e. bypassed the SWM); same problem. I am at my wits end.....any thoughts?? Should I try a 3rd different receiver to make sure I rule out that being an issue?? I have an old RCA DRD430RG that I guess I could try....just hate going through the activation/deactivation process if I don't have to. Thanks in advance.
