Ok, I switched the cable to the other port on the LNBF and I now have transponder 2 on sats 119 and 110. Still missing 119 tp 6, 10 and 16 and 110 tp 12 & 10. (This was after unplugging the RG-6 from the receiver and running a check switch to reset and plugging it back in). I did pull apart...

Ha! thanks for the link... And I will try switching the cable as well, thanks again

I don't, sadly, and I agree with you about the fuel pump but replacing an LNB (or DP-34??) doesn't seem prohibitively expensive or difficult if this can be narrowed down to either the cable or the LNB being the source of the problem and not the receiver...

I believe it is a DP Twin LNBF, based on the Dish Pro logo on the front and back of it.

It's mounted on the roof. I've been up there trying to re-peak it and it improved a bit but the evens are no-show. BTW I don't mind people suggesting what parts to switch out if they can explain why they think that's the source of failure. At the end of the day I have to weigh the risk of...

I'll recheck the connections for the plastic insert color you mentioned. What specifically is it about the 1ghz connectors that causes them to fail?

Yep, all the evens are out. I'll try to find someone else who has a receiver I can swap out to test that end. If not, looks like I'll have to have a tech come out. (darn!) Thanks again for the replies By the way, I've been trying to find a clear explanation of what a switch is, is it part of...

LNB is DP-Twin If it is the cable, isn't it kindof odd that it would go out regularly at certain times of the day, and then ultimately disappear completely? :confused: Edit: I just checked the cable he patched it in to and it is, in fact, RG-6/U Quad-shield cable, but I don't see a Mhz...

Using an old echostar DV3 DP301 receiver. I would say the distance is 30-35 feet max. I'll take a closer look at the cables. I know all the connections appear tight/clean but instead of running a straight cable all the way from the dish, he patched it into the black in-wall cable. He did a...

I'm getting strong signals on 119 tp 19 (around 97-98 signal strength) and 110 tp 21 (around 89-90) but when trying to tweak the dish I haven't been able to get even a hiccup out of the following: Sat 119 Tp 6, 10, 16, 2 Sat 110 Tp 12, 2, 10 I've been missing the channels associated with...

Hi all, We lost some of our channels a while back, some related to 119 and some for 110. I (a noob to troubleshooting sat issues) checked the signal strength for both, and both had strong signals for some transponders and no signal for the transponders listed on the missing channels'...
