Is my Directv receiver dying?

Unplug the receiver from the outlet and let it sit idle for 10 minutes.

Plug it back in. This seems to fix most problems when a box has been working and then begins doing weird things.

I installed SWM in the house, but ran a homerun wire from the RV to Legacy Port 1 of the SWM8 switch.

I took my RV receiver over to my Mother's house to demonstrate for my brother how to set up a tripod antenna. Then I brought it back and hooked it back up in the RV.

Now, when I turn on the receiver, or change channels, I get sound immediately but it is a full 10 seconds before the video appears on my TV.

What is going on?

did it work perfect when you setup the swm8 in the first place?

I don't really know, I just turned it on to be sure it worked, then turned it back off.

did the antenna type change? somethings they will redetect the antenna.

No, both are round 18" antennas.

was his swm as well? is it only the one receiver?

No, his was my tripod antenna I use on the road with my RV. I was just demo'ing it.
