[QUOTE="Remilk, post: 354552, member: 1581"] When I installed my dish system in August 1998, I used the standard satellite antenna cable which I obtained from Radio Shack. I had one of the two cables go bad so I had to replace it. It was buried in a trench between 12" and 15". It was a pain in the butt as I had to 're-trench'. I replaced the second cable since I had to dig to replace the cable and the two cables were the same age. What is the life expectancy of standard UG satellite antenna cable? At two different RS stores, I was told 5 - 6 years. BTW: I performed the following tests (in this sequence) to isolate the problem. 1. At the DP34 switch and the ground block removed the cable and cleaned the copper lead, then screwed the cable back on. 2. Switched ports on the DP34. (Actually used the one that I knew was working) 3. Switched cables at the grounding block. 4. Ran a test cable from the DP34 switch using the port from the bad cable to the ground block. I appreciate all feedback and comments. Sincerely, Bob [/QUOTE]
