Sat 99 degrees no signal (So no HD)
Ok so, as of April 1st, my HD channels wouldn't work. So I call Direct TV. They tell me my dish is old and I need a replacement.
Installer comes out today, swaps out my dish. We head to my TV to see about the HD channels, NO signal on the HD channels but everything else comes in perfect.
He tries everything. He tries a different box, he tries taking out the B-Band filter, he tries literally everything.
There is "Good enough" signal strength (I think he said in the 60s?) on the line itself.
Everything else works fine except the HD channels will NOT come in (771 error)
When we do a sat check, the HD sat has all 0's.. 0 0 0 0 0 0 (99 degrees etc)
The tech basically says there's nothing else it can be except the line in your walls.....
So now I am forced to make a decision if I have to get new cable.. We had our house built with the cables in the walls, all done. Now if we have to have these replaced, it will mean a mess.. punching holes in places etc..
My question is, is there ANYTHING else it could be? I told the guy I would call him back this week, but it seems to me everything was working, then April 1st when the channels changed locations, now they don't. Seems awfully odd it suddenly be the cables?!?!?!
Thank you in adance
