This all started when I was programming my C band satellites back into my Openbox S10 after the latest firmware update.
Ku worked fine prior to programming my C band satellites. Then, I noticed something odd. I had to unplug my c band lnb from my Digiwave DiSEqC switch for the Ku to work. The C band channels came in fine. Later after watching C band for quite a while. I tried unplugging the Cband so I could watch Ku and there was still no Ku channels. Even with it hooked up all correctly it did not work. I have my ports set correctly in the receiver. And I continue to still be able to receive C band channels but zero Ku.
I have a Gbox that controls the motor on the C band dish and it is connected to the receiver.
I am thinking perhaps the Ku LNB is bad. I moved my Ku to 97w and hooked my Acutrac 22 Pro up to see if I was getting signal. When I first hooked up the connections it said something to the effect "too much power" not those exact words but I don't recall the exact words. I've never seen it say that before.
I checked the power coming from the receiver for C band and I get the following numbers: 19.1V Curr 3 to 7MA (kept changing) then I checked Ku it said 18.9V to 19V(kept changing) and 65 to 74MA (kept changing).
65 to 74MA? Is that normal? I don't recall ever seeing it that high before. But I don't really remember looking at it either.
