    i did some google searching for results for loss of even transponders.


    turns out Iceberg was correct... however they refer gremlins as to little green men.

    bastards.




    id say maybe bad LNB perhaps?

    im going with the circuit theory, i would try and run an extension cord with surge protector to another room that you know for a fact is tied to a different breaker. it could also be a grounding problem...
    Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return.
    To obtain, something of equal value must first be lost.
    That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange.
    In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only truth.

    OK I meant to say odd transponders. Dont know if that makes a difference though. I'll checkout the circuit theory. Thanks for ya'lls help. Even you Iceberg!

    Are you losing channel or just transponder signal meter readings? When do they come back?
    See if you can produce the same effect with a long extension cord to another electric circuit. Does this happen on all receivers?

    Odd or even is probably not significant but transponder loss, odd or even, is usually a fitting or cable and then a defective LNB port.

    Interesting case!
