When I do a System Info on my new ViP722, I get a message in the "a-Status" section that reads: Check "Details" for LNB!

Anyone know what this means? Is there something I have setup wrong or do I have a problem? THANKS!


When I click "Details", it reads:

Shoot! I missed your post. Sorry for the dupe. ;)

I guess it's a "not to worry" deal!

The tech forum where i have my lnb drift posted somebody else replied saying that the lnb is probably in the early stage of dying out i don't know wich your getting that message on but if it's the eastern arc you said about it's probably defective being brand new and all mine lnb is a couple years old so if you got that message on the eastern arc i would contact dish.
 
Do a search for LNB Drift. There are many posts that expalin.

The newer receivers have software to compensate for the bad LNB. Older models do not and you will lose signal for +/- 5.

The "o" means ODD transponder's crystal oscillator clock has drifted.
