Not saying to do it permanently but disconnect the ground and see if it fixes the issue. Also if there's a ground from hub to the service disconnect then there should also be a black wire on the other ground terminal on hub that's comes from the coax cable going to dish. And other end should...

There is a ground wire running from the solo hub to the main disconnect panel.

I don't know how to check the voltage, but I can look at the solo hub to see if it is grounded or not.

I would check the voltage actually being fed to the hopper. If it's too low it can cause the hopper to not send power to the lnb which would result in no signal. Also if there's any grounding on the solo hub or dish, it can also cause issues if theres other electrical issues.

Good to know. This snowfall was quite unusual here. Snow is not normally an issue at my location so it's a novelty. Brushing the snow off immediately restored good operation of the Ku dish. I like the dish very close to ground so I can sit on a chair while tweaking the LNB, especially on C-band.

And to have a good signal in Ku, put a plastic visor on the antenna. It has been tested, in snow and rain the signal is not 100 percent, but you can watch. If the antenna was higher from the ground, there would be less snow.

Being in maintenance management and following many safety sites, I cannot count the number of times I see stories where, after the fact, the "obvious" is not so "obvious" ! Do the one call. No matter what. If you make the call and there is a mistake, it is on the one-call system. If you do...

That is pretty subjective actually. In-house technicians will in probably all cases not put a pole in the ground without calling dick safe first. Contractors in many cases, same thing however, the policy is to put the Dish on a temporary mount at the point where the pole will go, call, dig safe...

Well one limit is not being authorized to mount to Vinyl siding

They can move the Dish to wherever you want it, as long as it's got clear line of sight and a clear path for the cable. I would call it in as a relocate Dish Work Order. As for the Antenna, that will probably incur an extra charge and will need a clear wallfish to the Hopper

Sometimes a ground dish can go close to house if trees not in way. Other times you need to get beyond trees and it becomes a long buried run. I saw a lot of outfits put dish on pole right at the house, which made little sense to me. Most of my mounting was actually directly to house structure at...

Thanks for responding. I wasn't aware they had to bury the coax. Where I was thinking it could go would be not too far away from where the coax goes into the house now and they could just run the coax along the house siding?

I would be exactly the same way. I would not want holes in my new roof either.

I was referring to age of roof. A proper installation will last the life of the re-roof without allowing water damage. If dropping satellite in future the mounting points can be left in place without need to re-seal. On ground there is usually additional hazard with buried coax cabling and from...

I was not thinking in terms of the age of the dish, but just not sure if I wanted a bunch of new holes in a new roof. What are the risks on the ground?

Why difference because of age? Dish will not increase rate of aging. It only needs to be properly installed & sealed, as would with an old roof. Moving offair to attic will attenuate signals. Moving dish to ground usually creates add'l damage risk.

I am potentially getting a new roof and I will need to have my Dish Network dish taken down along with my Televes Antenna that Dish set up for me as well. If I get the protection plan and I am assuming pay $50 or so for a special work order do you think the Dish Tech would set up the Dish on the...

I live in an apartment these days, and only get on the air to talk to old friends on 2M. I have had good luck using a 5/8 mobile whip in front of a window. I bought a 30" galvanized feed dish at Tractor Supply, and found that it makes a good ground plane for the mobile. No muss, fuss or...

I used to tweak the dish by hanging a rope off it and pulling on it from 30 below. It worked and it hash't moved in over 30 years. The dish is 36 feet to the centre, 41 to the top. Never moves.

It's true that thin walled c band waveguides are easily distorted by the holding bolts. Seems that just when you get your signal maxed and you give the bolts (3 in my case) that final little grunt to keep it all in place. There goes the signal. I filed the bolt ends flat where they contact the...

WOW! Good eye, yes it is a Prodelin solid. Dead solid, never has twitched in 39 years. Only the snow slows me down. I made the column out or 16 inch heavy wall steel tube. At the end I have a schedule 40 pipe box fitted into the square tube (three 1 inch thick plates with a hole in the centre...

Thanks I'll definitely try to follow those instructions. And when you say you have a Joey 4 with no problems, do you stream 4K, HDR videos from the non-Dish streaming services (Hulu, Paramount+, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video (but as an app, not via channel 301), Netflix (but as an app, not via...

Sorry, Hopper 3 is connected via Ethernet cable. But, I have also tried Wi-Fi and both top and bottom Ethernet ports. Makes no difference. Same problem occurs regardless. Your grounding suggestion sounds promising. I recall the installer commenting when he swapped the Hopper to see if that...
