My Hopper3 is reporting LNB drift as an issue. My dish is pole mounted and easily accessible. Is there any reason why I cant replace the Hybrid EA LNB myself without having a service call? It seems like a simple and straightforward swap.
NO reason you cant, if you can get a hybrid lnb for eastern arc. I did it all the times I had problems.My Hopper3 is reporting LNB drift as an issue. My dish is pole mounted and easily accessible.

Thanks. They are hard to come by online. Amazon, EBay seem a little sketchy. Solid Signal has them but are more expensive. I may just subscribe for the protection plan for a couple of months and schedule a service call.NO reason you cant, if you can get a hybrid lnb for eastern arc. I did it all the times I had problems.

There are a couple of different models of Hybrid EA LNB now, so you would need to make sure that you get the correct model to fit the bracket that you already have. (There are probably not very many of the new Slimline Hybrid LNB's in the field, so you likely have the older model.) Even if you do get the wrong model, you could still do the swap yourself. However, that would mean that you would also need to swap out the bracket that holds the LNB on the arm of the dish.My Hopper3 is reporting LNB drift as an issue.

Thank you very much for the info. I just checked my two Hopper 2’s which indicated LNB drift, but so far I have no receiver issues that I know of.Guys, It's a software issue. A LOT of them are reporting drift when there is none.

Hi Team!
We have discussed with the engineering team. It appears to be a false alarm in the User Interface that is popping this error. This false error will be fixed in the next software release scheduled for the beginning of December 2020. Please ignore this error for the time being.

That looks like what I saw, when I made the post right above yours.Well I was going to post a new topic but it looks like this has been discussed before. The only thing is that over the last few months (6 or so) I've lost signal on not just on very rainy thick days, but sometime just overcast days.
I ran across the attached message when I started to do some diagnostics and was going to schedule a call to Dish to have someone come out and re-point (pinpoint because I will be there insisting that i read the meter myself) the dish but then saw this.
I still may have someone come out to re-point the dish, but are others seeing this when they go into diagnostics and run the Check Status options. It says status OK, but when you drop down one to the show status box this pop's up.
Tx,
