Losing Signal

[jesse]

Ive been installing satellite systems for about 5 years and have never seen this before. I have 90+ percent on sat A,B,C. I'm using the terk 3 lnb dish and a DTVD10. Around 5 or 6pm we will lose signal and about 9 or 10am it will start working again. I'm stumped. We have replaced the receiver and dish just to be safe, but, that did nothing.

What about the cabling and/or the connectors?

Have you tested the receiver in another working setup?

You may encountered some source of interruption from people uses of microwave or some type of electronics instrument at the area. If its at certain time everyday, it got to be.

If those times are not exact, another suggestion is that the switch in the integrated LNB may be temperature sensitive (in other words defective) as it cools at night and then warms back up in the morning.

He said he had replaced the entire dish so I ignored the switch issue, but can the same hold true for an external switch on an older model non-phaseIII dish?

Welcome to Satelliteguys Jesse! We are glad your here! I will move this to the DirecTV forum so it can receive more exposure...
