Has sat 119 stopped transmitting?

[vev46]

I'm getting all 0's on sat 119 active xponders (22--->32), but the only channels giving me a 771 message are 72, 76, & 79, which are mirrored somewhere in the 300's. Any knowledge of this? I just upgraded to DVR service w/HR21-100

The 119 is transmitting just fine...more likely you have a bad LNB or something blocking your signal from that sat.

I'm inclined to believe that 0's on 119 indicate a bad LNB rather than something blocking the signal. The dish is actually looking through a gap in the tree canopy of my wooded lot. What I've been trying to figure out is which side is being blocked. Since 119 is the farthest most bird in one direction of the satellite arc, and the feedhorns on the LNB are arrayed from the center of the LNB assembly to the left as you look from behind the dish reflector, can it then be assumed that the signal from 119 comes from the right looking up from behind the dish? Depending on any answers I get, I will likely swap back to my non-SWM LNB and see if I get anything but 0's on 119. If I do, I'll know I have a bad SWM LNB. If still 0's, I guess I'll be AZ adjusting again. Geez, I LOVE this job!

If you are standing behind the dish, looking in the same direction the dish is pointing, the 119 comes in from the right and is reflected into the far left LNB horn.
