Bad directv reciver

Make sure you are measuring the correct potential and that it is really DC
volts. I don't know about the receiver particulars.

Other than that, why are you measuring the voltage?

I don't know about the voltages. I know I just had to replace a HD receiver
because it would not get some transponders with sufficient strength to get a
good picture, usually around 30 to 35, while others were around 100. . I
knew it was my receiver because another receiver got the transponders fine.

Does the voltage show correctly for the transponders you do get? I just
figured it was my tuner section, but you may be more accurate. I looked for
another box like mine to replace parts, but could not find one at a low
enough price to make it worth while.

Where did you find the info on the receivers?

It's the voltage that selects/determines which transponder you're
using (odd/even).
