Following is my setup:
- dish 500(110 +119) with quad dp lnb: 2 cables to dp34 satellite input.
- dish 300 (61.5) with twin dp lnb to dp34 3rd sat in
- out 1 to 301 receiver (25 ft cable length)
- out 2 to vip722 receiver (75 ft)
- out 3 to vip722 receiver (75 ft)
- out 4 to pvr501 receiver (75 - 100 ft cable length)
For last week or so I loose all tp from 119 on all receivers IN NIGHTS. I cannot get any signal. Checkswitch does not help. even clearing matrix doesn't do anything. If I checkswitch during day. All sats comeback with good strenght.
If I recall correctly dp34 does not need power inserter as long it is three digit model number receiver.
What might be causing problem?

As "boba" recommended, I connected 501 directly to dish 500(DP quad lnb) bypassing dp34. And guess what...there is no issue with 119 bird. signal strength is very good. I guess that narrows down the issue to switch.
Tree is not the issue, I trimmed it today and I am still having this issue.
I am not familiar "drip/service loops". Is it just to make downward "O" loop with wire?
I got em cheap. It says RG-6U on cable. should I get RG-59 ??????are they available at home depot or other local place?
It hasn't rain since I installed, matter of fact we are dying for some rain in Dallas TX. everyone was hoping that dolly hurricane would come toward us so we could atleast have some rain...
should I fix those "Ughs" first or replace switch?

I yanked the ground cable from previous comcast cable module installed outside. Is it suppose to be GREEN Ground cable AKA UL listed?

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

It states the average amount they are under water is OVER $7,000. 
Personally, I tend to be the type that drives a vehicle for a lot of years....do my own oil changes and other fluid changes. Just replaced the spark plugs and a couple coils. Youtube is great for things like this.

For some reason, the satelliteguys.us site is loading a lot slower than usual on both Chrome on my Asus laptop and Safari on my iPhone.
I'm also seeing longer appearances of the blue bar at the top and the "3 blue bars" loading symbol.
Is anyone else also having the same problem? Thanks in advance.

when was the last time they innovated something
I'd probably say when they came up with their M-series of processors with integrated memory. That allowed Apple to get away from the inefficient Intel CPUs that were limiting their notebook computers.when was the last time they innovated something
Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?
