no ce for hr23-700?

 

[LGM]

Ruled out a bad receiver. I switched back to NR release last week, had no problems at all. This week, I've already lost signal 3 times. It's random, but happens when changing channels. Sometimes get a 721 error, sometimes just a blank screen. When I running test , it reports sats acquired, but at 0% signal. When viewing signal levels, all report 0%. This is an h23-600, with AM 21 connected directly to the LNB, no switches or SWM. (The AM 21 still stays on when powering off the receiver. )

Thanks,

L.G.M.

P.S. Resetting is the only thing I've found that gets the signals back (which are normally in the mid 90's)
