    Digital dead?

    I was going to replace all my coax connectors mainly because I did not like the ones that came with the new ribbon cable. When I was working at the dish, the connector on the KU LNB came loose and started shorting. My wife thought I was turning the power on and off for the receiver but the...

    Digital dead?

    Now, therein lies the crux of the issue though. It didn't come on while I was messing with the dish. I could get a flashing 'D' but never a lock. I had other things to do that day so left the dish and it locked later by itself....and unlocked by itself. It had been at least an hour since I...

    Digital dead?

    one sat When I was actively working on the dish I had to stick to one sat, G1. This is because the dish is situated on uneven terrain and getting a ladder to where I can reach the feedhorn is pretty precarious. On G1-3 I was getting anywhere from 1/99 to 42, 44, 46, 47, and as high as 54 but...

    Digital dead?

    And the pole is plumb and the analog channels come in like bandits. One other concern, if I go through to check the VC chip info, the system sometimes says that the VC chip is not found....it seems to work only on VC channels but I recall it used to say that you needed to be on a VC channel...

    Digital dead?

    Still going on It has been getting worse and I'm beginning to think it is the receiver and NOT the dish but I am not sure. I just played with the dish....again..... It is a 90 inch dish with an 18 inch depth. with F = D**/16(d) = 90**/16(18) = 8100/288 = 28.125 inches I adjusted the feed...

    Digital dead?

    I figured the LNBs that I would get bundled with the Co-Rotor II would not be the best on the market and I was concerned about that. But they do seem to work well, when they work. My connections are all brand new that I installed with the new ribbon cable. Thanks

    Digital dead?

    Digital mostly dead........ I went out to the dish yesterday following some of your suggestions. I didn't have a whole lot of time so it only got the once over. Standing under the dish so I could see the mount, I grabbed the bottom of the dish to see if there was play anywhere. While...

    Digital dead?

    I have a dsr-922 receiver coupled with a solid aluminum metal dish 7.5ft. For two or three years or more it was losing the digital signal in the evening when it got cold. I had been suspecting a problem at the dish for some time and when the funds came available I started throwing parts...
