Dish Pathway x 2 Issue?

[reubenray]

I am on my first trip of the year in my RV and I can't get the Pathway to work correctly. The problem is the 110 satellite. Some transponders lock on and some do not. I have a clear sky. For example the USA will not work. I don't know what transponder this channel is on. Transponder 16 locks on, but I don't know what is on this transponder. Could my Pathway be going bad? Also would using the second connection help any? I have a Wally connected to this.

Edit: After checking the above sticky post USA is on 119-T21 not 110. This transponder will not lock in. I am thinking more that my Pathway is going bad.

After checking into this more I found out that the channels on even transponders work and the channels on odd transponders do not work.

What would be causing this?

Are you using a direct coax connection from the Pathway to the Wally or are you going through a port in an RV (or something similar)?

I am going through a port on my RV which worked last year. But last year I had issues with the Wally losing connection to the Dish overnight. I thought this may have been due to the GFI I was plugged into. This year I am plugged into another outlet that is not a GFI outlet. Prior to setting up the RV for the trip everything worked also while at home. If I have enough cable I will try going through the window.

I rerouted a cable through a window and everything works. I guess it is a loose connection somewhere being sometimes it works and sometimes it does not.

I'm RVs the cables get connected to splitters which doesn't allow proper power and signal through. You always want to bypass the splitters on an rv.
