Over the past few days I've found my s10/90 cm/sg2100 has lost signal on selected sats and tp's but I've made no physical dish changes and all was well before, only a few days ago. Can anyone suggest the most likely cause?
Here's what I seeing. I'm still good with selected tp's at 61W and 125W with good SQ about the same as before but some tp's have dropped. I still get some tp's on 72W but have lost the 4 NBC mux entirely. On 83 RTV/Tuff is still good to watch but off by 15% SQ. For both the LPB channels on 87 and ABC News on 91 I get a picture that immediately freezes with no signal. CCTV is strong on 95 as is History on 101 but both off a tad for strength. Happens with both v and h tp's. I'm suspicious that the dropped tp's are weaker footprint ones for the Toronto area but I've had good "green bar" quality until now.
I've tried bumping the dish e or w on a few sats/tps to see if that helps but makes no difference so don't think the motor/dish assembly has shifted on the mount. The lnb would seem to be good as its still doing both h and v and the S value is still a good 87%. So that leaves me with my elevation having slipped. The area weather has finally gotten colder here (-7C at night but above freezing during the day), so I can speculate what was summer tight may have loosened up enough that wind pushed the dish (hopefully not the roof mount itself) but before I go up on the roof in the cold, does this make any sense?
Hopefully the simple answer is the right answeras I don't want to go on a unicorn hunt. Is elevation the most likely thing to work on?
