Hi all,

The past few mornings I’ve turned on my TV and found that I had no Ku signal. The night before all was well. C Band is fine.
Does anyone have an idea what may be causing this ?
I checked my Ku connections out at the dish and all looks good... no corrosion. After I reconnect my Ku connection at the dish, it works once again with a strong signal.
Could my 22Khz be failing ?
Thanks in advance.

John

Which port is the KU LNB connected? 22KHz ON or the 22KHz OFF port?

Hi Brian,

Thanks for responding
Been going back and forth with yard and satellite dish work today and just discovered the problem. On close inspection, I found the coax connector came loose on the Ku coax out at the dish, just enough to affect the signal. Don’t know how, but it did. It’s now well secured.
Hope all is well with you.

John
