My lnb setup is a sl3 four output with B band converter.

Well i just did a reboot to double check and reloaded the guide and this happened lol

Just started a day or two ago. When you go to check signal strength you get (picture), which locks up the boxes and you have to do a RBR (red button reset) to un-lock the boxes. It appears to be the same software version that worked ok until a couple of days ago.

Hi levibluewa Well i just did a reboot to double check and reloaded the satellite info and this happened lol
like you said everything works until you check signal and freezes,It doesn't freeze when you check OTA signal strength
There is a way to check satellite signals but be very careful I wouldn't recommend it. power down receiver unplug AC Power plug ,unscrew LNB coaxial wire from back of receiver ,Replug AC power plug to receiver it will try to get satellite info,hit menu on remote ,go to setup,sat and ant view signal strength it will be all zeros,here's the tricky part plug in coaxial lnb wire back to receiver the signal strength will show on sats.If you try this be very careful because you don't want to short out the receiver.i would only do this if i really have to.

That's good.
What satellites do you see listed?

It freezes now like levibluewa lol dam now i have problems lol

Saw a post in another forum on this. It seems to have started when the data to display the D14 (99ca) satellite was rolled out (not a software update by the way). Only affects H20s as far as we can tell. Does not affect the receivers ability to operate and receive channels, just you can't test signal strength.

I wonder how many H20's are still activated.

Cee...perhaps it's DirecTV's covert way telling us to upgrade!

I just reactivated my 2 H20-100 yesterday. Don't have any issues, yet, but I'm not going to what y'all did, maybe I will. I could always use an upgrade. I already have a Genie, these would be receiver 8 and 9 for me. The tech support lady said this was the most receivers she has seen on a residential account.

She don't get out much then.

Perhaps she is like the lady that reviewed Hilary's emails - legally blind!
