Missing some chanels and Error 002?

Are you sure your power inserter is wired in correctly? This last post contradicts what you said "Tried the straight through on both receivers, nothing." although I'm not 100% sure what you mean. There is no technical reason why, if you have the SW44/inserter wired correctly, you can't put any receiver at any location. Ensure your cabling is the proper RG6. Try replacing the switch with your spare. You've got nothing to lose.
 
It's possible there is nothing wrong with your gear - your dish may have clear line of sight to 91 but no longer to 82. This is the time of year where trees, etc. are actively growing.

By 'changing' LNBs, I presume you tried swapping the cables on them.
 
No. I have a spare lnb, sw 44, as well as a spare power inserter...........changed them all. So i guess it's one of 3 things. Cable, receiver, or trees. Trees are the easy part for me.
 
My money would be on the connectors.

ok, i should clarify regarding this problem..........the hd signal is back, i moved the dish as there was trees in the way. That problem is fixed. I wired everything back the same way with my cables being labeled for each port. I have a theater room downstairs where i have a spare cable going to but no receiver as i don't want to use one down there so much. Now, when i try to take the 6141 receiver downstairs, the signal goes out in all the receivers.....all of them. Now the same thing happens when i disconnect the 4100. this does not happen however if i unhook any of my 2700 receivers, keeping in mind that all the other receivers are still hooked up
 
Is your power inserter located near your switch or are you "moving" it along with a receiver? It needs to go on the appropriate port (usually port #1) as indicated on the switch itself.
 
the power inserter is downstairs with the sw44, doesn't get moved, and it is in port one as indicated
 
It is a digital signal, so that description is almost perfect of how a digital versus analog signal responds to a slowly worsening connection. It works, then does not, when it gets beyond the point where the signal is no longer viable.

If it is a connector, then check for moisture ingress and the subsequent corrosion.
 
Well, Dosborne you were right. It was the connectors........well sort of. On every end, i had cut directly flush right to the copper wire. I hadn't folded back any of the braid, nor had i left that little piece of the foam stuff. I guess every cable was shorting out. Well all is good now.............good thing i hadn't blown out every receiver and switch. Thanks for the help.
 
I have, for the past few weeks, had a problem with one of my receivers (I have 2). I am, on some channels, (a few 200's, 500's, 600's), getting the error message, 002. I talked to an expressvu rep. twice and twice I received differing answers. The one rep. said to power down the receiver and let it reboot itself, and the channel would come back. He said it was probably the weather. It was sunny the day I called and told him so but he said carry on with doing the reboot and if it continues, to call back. That worked fine once or twice, but now it's doesn't help at all to bring the channel back, so I called expressvu back as instructed. The second rep. had me do some tests, which I can't recall what ATM, and he concluded that either my receiver or the wiring was the problem. He wanted me to switch up the receiver with the second one I have to see which problem it might be. I was going to do that, but it is very hard to get at the one receiver so I thought before I did the switch up, I'd ask a question here that I have about all this.
FYI, I've had Bell expressvu for 4 years and the receivers are 3100's. I am, in case you also need to know in South Eastern Ontario.
Would the t.v., if the wiring has gone south, not loose all the channels instead of just a few. Same question applies for the receiver. Would I not loose reception on all the channels I receive?
I was wondering if it's my smart card that is the problem. I did not think to ask this of the techs. at the time that I spoke with them.
I will switch up the receivers today if I have to but if anyone here thinks my issue is the card that would save me a lot of grief.
I hope in all the above (sorry it's so wordy :o ) that I have supplied enough info. to diagnose my problem, if not let me know.

Thank you in advance.

I have 2 receivers and no, there is no switch installed. I have 2 cables coming from the dish into the house. Each receiver has it's own cable.
