Help.
I've spent three hours trying to get my IR blasters to work with my Dish RCA DP301. I have moved them closer and farther out, tented with foil, and nothing.
I found an old post about DISH 301 that suggested sending the IR through the side vents. I tried that without success.
Now here's the kicker. An online post said that the RCA DP301 and the DISH 301 were basically the same. So I started at the beginning of the test menu and said I had a DISH box instead of RCA. Guess what? The IR blasters worked on the first three channel changes, but would not work on any more of the tests or troubleshoots. When I say I have an RCA box, I get nothing. When I say I have a DISH box, I get three channel changes, then nothing.
The message that comes up is "You are not authorized to view this channel." Even for channels that I am subscribed to. Is this part of the ongoing DISH v. TiVo war perhaps?
Anyway, any suggestions will be sincerely appreciated.
