DirecTV receiver only numbers on every other transponder
A guy several sites over from me is having this problem and I can't remember what to do to solve this. He has a 98 signal but gets no picture.

Bill, that is correct. My older KD will lock on a satellite that is not a Direct Satellite (Dish). The Green Led will lite up. I know that it is not on the Direct satellite because I set my receiver to the signal strength meter. No signal, green led = wrong satellite. So, i tell the KD to keep searching. When both my Direct receiver and the KD agree, then I am ok. Maybe some of the newer in motion KD units have a way to verify which satellite they are on. But I have not heard of a unit that will do it. Direct and Dish may use the same location (110), however the frequency/signal may have something imposed on it.
