Satelites Direct TV question

I have 3 TV one is the main room,s Iam using the sony
satellite HDTV receiver all channels are there,
on my two room Iam using both Direct TV cable boxes,
one receiver is only giving half of the channels,
the other box is always saying Satelite is searching for
signal, takes forvever.What is the problem here?
Although I was told by Direct TV, dish is not the problem.
I need your help Agoners, Thanks.

I am assuming you have went into the menu and set up "the type of dish" you have.There are three satellites the dish recieves signal from.
First rule out any problem with the other 2 recievers.
Unhook the hdtv recvr and connect each of the other two recvrs one at a time to the sat coax cable.As you know, you will need to use a regular video patch cable. don`t worry about the audio. See if you get all the channels on each . IF you do its not the recvrs. Check this out first, before going further.Report back with your findings.
