Odds are against a faulty remote but that is why there are odds as it can happen. The remote setup guides are pretty generic so don't cover everything.

Here's my system: REMOTE: RC 73B (Genie)RECEIVER: HR54-500AUDIO: VSX-47TX (Pioneer)TV: UN60FH6003FXZA (Samsung) My original RC73 worked fine. I could turn the TV and and off by toggling the "ON" button of the remote (and not affect the receiver). Now, with the RC73B, I can turn the TV on with "ON"

It is always possible that the SWM8 module is bad but the odds are against it, up to you to get another one or go back to the way it was or call, PM/DM DTV for a tech $99 unless you have the protection plan.

That'd be a change over the past 10+ years that I've had this setup. Why it goes to a "Loading" screen rather than a "Too Bad for You" screen is still odd for the scenario you describe. On the surface, the odds of your guess are most likely, but tho

Live Sports Cut Away

I pay for the NHL games. In the last couple of weeks, as soon as the NHL game is over I don't get the postgame show on the local sports network that I also pay for via my SportsPack (635-1/MSG). The screen goes to a "loading" screen. It says to call if I've reached that screen in error.

As of yesterday, this seems to have become permanent. Reset both receivers, but no improvement. All connections appear to be nice a

See the odd numbered transponders on the 101 missing?  Those require a higher voltage than the odds do.  I'd normally say you have a loose, corroded or wet coax connector somewhere.  However, if all of your receivers are exactly the same than I'd say
