LNB drift?

[T. Perinne]

I was playing with my new 622 the other night and got to the diagnostics menu. I ran a test and everything popped up "ok" but there was a message saying "check notes", I did and got a "LNB drift" message... Sorry for my ignorance but I don't know what this is, can somebody please explain it to me? It doesn't sound like a good thing but on the other hand I'm not having any problems receiving all my channels.

Thanks.

It was explained - using Search you will find a few threads.

I looked up a few threads and it makes more sense now but I still don't know how to interpret the numbers I got:

0x0d, 0xa1, 61.5 (e-11.04) (o 0.00)

Again, we did discuss the numbers in those threads.

Ok found it, greater than +/-5 = replace LNB... I just called Dish and they're coming out free of charge. I wonder how I'm still getting a signal with 61.5 at -11!!! Thanks Smith.

That's why I always asking to continue post new question in same thread AFTER reading old one. There has been posted Dish official PDF with useful info.

Menu 613 on a 211 Receiver -- Item B

What is the significance of the number in B? Is it an indication of LNB drift?
