Hopper wiring problem

[jackfly]

I'm new to the forum and hope this is the right place to post this question

I'm wiring a Hopper and one Joey in my motorhome. I installed it with a solo node and after install I had reception but realized I had the client and the hopper leads reversed. When I connected them properly I can't get anything. Did I fry the node.

Thanks

If it worked before you swapped the client and Hopper connections, they were probably correct initially. There is no way Hopper would receive satellite signals if connected to the client port. Put them back and see if reception is restored.

I reversed the leads and still nothing. I wired the dish direct to the hopper and works fine. must be the node didn't like power into the client port.

More than likely you fried the Node. All equipment must be unplugged prior to hooking lines to the node or it will fry the node. Good Luck.
