Advice: DirecTV problems

**Bob Dole** · 03-07-2006, 08:02 AM

Got the second Tivo installed last week and now both it and the original Tivo claim to be "searching for signal" when Bob Dole tries to view any of the local channels.

Oval 3 LNB dish has 4 lines coming out to a 4 into 8 multiswitch. 2 out to one Tivo, 2 out to another Tivo, 5th out to a regular DTV receiver, other 3 outs are vacant.

Been back through the guided setup multiple times and cannot resolve the problem. Seems like whichever Tivo is set up first will find signal on all three birds, but the second one will fail on one of them. A, B and C are also listed in different order on each box.

Is the multiswitch crap, or is there another issue? To be honest, Bob Dole still is not sure why there are 4 cables coming out of a 3 LNB dish...
