Hi Golden+65,

Welcome to Satellite Guys! I'm guessing you have an Openbox s10? What's the problem you're having with the V and H polarities? Is it an issue of scanning, or some channels not coming in, or something else? Hopefully, we can help you out :)

ON some sat's I can not get the V. SIDE . i TESTED THIS BY USING A SEPERAT RECIVER AND A MANUAL RF switch Which blead rf and then whit it on v. using the S10 I Can pick up the V.side on other sat's v.seam to work.

Guess the thing to check is the LNB voltage. Open receiver and locate the LNB fuse and check the voltage* while powering the LNBF. ~13V vertical / ~18V horizontal
*Check from both sides of the fuse to ground. Should be within a few tenths of a volt.

With my microHD, if I have more than two switches between my receiver and the LNB, I cannot receive the vertical signals when using my Primestar LNB (w/separate V/H connections). I suspect the voltage loss through the switches drops it just enough below 13V to fail to drive the electronics. Haven't had a chance to measure it tho. Both polarities work great if I remove a switch from the path.

Your receiver is putting out to much voltage for the LNBF to switch to the vertical polarity. Likely that the voltage regulator or a resistor in the regulator circuit has failed.

Your receiver is putting out to much voltage for the LNBF to switch to the vertical polarity. Most LNBFs have a vertical switch point of approximately 14.5vdc.

Likely that the voltage regulator or a resistor in the regulator circuit has failed.
