In Reply to: DirecTV HD - selective reception problem (long) posted by triode on April 3, 2007 at 14:34:05:
Check your cables. I started having problems a year or two ago similar to yours. Certain channels would lose the signal, but others were OK. I discovered the installers (who otherwise did a fine job relocating my dish) had spliced the cables and buried the splices wrapped only in cloth tape. Of course, the moisture eventually seeped in. When I replaced the cables, the problems disappeared.
Follow Ups:
I've had a similar problem with losing my HD local channels. On one occasion, I rebooted the DirecTV box and this solved it. Just last night, it didn't.
Mine has a very long cable run, and a check for splices revealed none.
Calls to DirecTV help in the past have been annoyingly time consuming to get to the higher level techs who seem to have some idea of what may be going on, so I'd certainly appreciate any suggestions to the original post so that I don't have to go through that process again. Dish Network help, btw, is even worse on help.
