I recall no requirements of wiring a multiswitch in such a fashion. After all, the multiswitch is handling the switching itself, not via connectors.
I'd go with either a dud port on the switch or bad cabling. More often than not it's bad cabling. Try this, swap the cable from a known good cable to a DirecTivo and see if that tuner continues to work properly. But also consider that it may be the cable leading up to the dish, or ports on that side. A bit of channel changing might be involved to confirm this. No, I no longer have DirecTV. I still have a couple of DirecTivo units. Just haven't bothered with fleabay listing them yet.... -Bill Kearney > Is there no-one left on this list still running DirecTiVo?
