primestar31, That was an idea I was toying with, but Arlo’s and Mike’s suggestions are also under consideration. The other arms look fine. Last fall I noticed some minor rust on that arm and sprayed it with a rust inhibitor, apparently it wasn’t enough.😉 Thanks for replying. John

Mike, Thanks for your reply and suggestion. I’ve had to do varying amounts of “dish work” in the 33 years that I’ve owned a BUD. However, this is the first time I’ve encountered this problem. I bought this dish from Tek2000 about 3 years ago and was aware it was a Chinese product, but never...

FTA4PA, I dont want to replace the entire arm if I don’t have to, just the damaged section. Thanks for your reply. John

Hi All, I have a rusted LNB arm that has separated from the LNBF. Any repairs suggestions are welcome. Please note I am not a welder nor do I have the skills. Thanks in advance. John

Hi all, When did Canada’s Weather Network leave satellite ? Went looking for it on 119w the other day and discovered its no longer there. Thanks in advance. John

Redbullsnation, Wait until your approaching 70 like me before you use age as an excuse. I don’t find dish maintenance difficult as long as you stay ahead of it and use the sage advice of members here. John

Mike, Why are DISCEqC more desireable ? Are they built better, more durable ? Again I don’t know why my 22htz switch crapped out. I’ve always taken precautions, by unplugging my system before doing any work and lately I haven’t had to do anything, it just died. There were no T Storms in the...

catamount, Yes its the third switch. Apparently the other “new” one was doa. John

Hi all, Good News !!! Apparently, after going through all the recommended procedures and coming up empty handed, it turns out that the problem was the 22 htz switch. I don’t know why the previous switch went bad as I’m always careful when doing any maintenance, I always unplug the entire...

Hi arlo, I will once again revisit all connections and try the settings you suggested. I have to make one correction. With C Band directly connected from the 0 side of the 22khz switch to my stb, I am getting both H and V polarities, not just one polarity as I earlier stated. I’m enclosing a...

Hi Mike, Hope you’re feeling better. A factory reset did cross my mind, but I don’t want to go this route if not necessary, as I lose all my satellite settings. Let me see if Brian chimes in here with a suggestion otherwise I’ll email him directly. Thanks for the email address and thanks for...

Hi all, Hope those of you who celebrate Christmas had a wonderful day. So as for my dish system, as it stands now, I am directly connected C Band wise, to my STB. I am getting H and V channels on all of C Band. I have no kU currently due to an issue with my ASC 1. The ASC 1 is not changing...

Arlo and All, I followed your instructions and got the following…. Receiver>Switch in>0 Khz port out. Use the C band lnbf on that port and check you get a signal. (Yes) Swap the ku coax and use the 0 kHz port. Power it back up. Can you get signal on for ku? (No) Put your C band coax on...

Arlo, I was able to complete step one of your instructions. Unfortunately the windstorm in my area messed up my kU LNBF, knocking it off center…so no signal there. With temps here in the low 30s it was too cold to refocus it today, but with warmer weather tomorrow, I’ll fix that issue and...

Arlo, Thanks for the detailed instructions… very appreciative. I’m kinda busy today, but will try to start this procedure this evening if possible. If not, will do tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it goes. Thanks again. John

Brian, My kU LNBF shares my BUD with my C Band LNBF. Yes my switch settings are as you described. I will try your suggestion tomorrow. Thanks again for all your help. John.

Brian, My setup has always been… Dish > C Band and kU coax >.Switch > ASC 1 > STB and its worked perfectly. Is this not the correct set up ? Will try what you suggested. John

Hi all, Just an update… I am getting all the H and V transponders on C Band however I’m not getting any kU what so ever. I checked my kU LNBF out at the dish it its getting a signal with my satellite finder. John

Hi Brian, With the dish coax disconnected from the ASC1 and attached directly to the stb, I was able to scan 105w and get both H and V….transponders, something I was unable to do before as I was just getting V transponders only when connected through the ASC1. The high transponder issue on C...

Arlo, Until a few days ago, I never had an issue with the ASC1, my chosen image and my 22khz switch…they played nicely together. I don’t know why there would be a voltage issue all of a sudden, when I haven’t messed with the voltage settings. Thanks for replying. John

Long Hair, When doing any kind of work regarding, The STB, the 22htz switch, the LNBF or the ASC1, I always unplug both units. Because of yesterday’s storm here on Cape Cod my entire satellite system was unplugged all day. Made no difference with the ASC1 when I plugged it back in after the...

Hi all, I hooked up my Edision Mio directly from my 22khz switch, bypassing my ASC1. I then scanned 105w and was able to get H and V transponders…yea !!! However I’m not getting any kU signals. The 65-70 mph winds we had here yesterday probably knocked the dish off peak. Will repeak it...

Long Hair, I checked the dish earlier today and it hadn't moved at all. I’m going to change out the 22khz switch tomorrow and see if that might be the issue. Expecting 55 - 65 mph winds and heavy rain late tonight into tomorrow afternoon. So any further outside checks will have to wait, but I’m...

Mike and Long Hair, I noticed, before changing images (have to check if I have any others) I scanned 97w kU again and I got the transponders for 105w in a “stacked” configuration. What the hell… John

Long Hair, I just scanned 97w kU and the transponders are “stacked” with each transponder having both a H and V frequency and the numbers don’t coincide with what should be on there. John
