any suggestions to fix directv sonySatHD 100 reciever

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

My reciever is on the blinq (it's dying). The incoming signal strength goes
from 0 to 90 back to zero and continues to do this.My tivo directv in basement
works just fine. The Sat HD 100 Sony works fine when I first turn it on after
pulling the plug then goes right back to problems. I am thinking it might be an
overheating probably any thoughts. Like I stated it goes 80 to zero to 80 to
zero

One reasonably priced servicer of Sat receivers is:

Technical Satellite Repair
877-877-3952
Harrisburg, PA

Not sure whether they do the Sony or not but I suspect they do. Otherwise,
send it to Sony.
