I lost my even transponders on 110W last Friday on both STBs. Legacy system.
So, I figure either the lnb or the switch is bad. Bypass switch, run single lnb direct to STBs - run check switch - still no even transponders.
I use 2 SW21s and reverse the position of 110 so on one STB its SAT1 and the other SAT2.
Both STBs still show no even transponders on 110. 119 is fine.
So, I start replacing lnbs.
I go through 4 lnbs - same thing.
Finally, I take the lnb out of 119W that I know is working and put it in 110W. Unplug both STBs for 2 minutes - fire them back up - check switch.
Still no 110W Even.
I cannot see how both STBs all the sudden will not acknowledge 1 bird even and work on the other, much less both of them going out at the same time?!?!?!?
What am I missing?
EDIT:
I took a 3rd STB that hasn't been used for 9 months. Plugged it in. Ran a check switch. 110W Even still missing. I guess this eliminates the STBs - but I've replaced everything else????????????????
I have even taken another RG6 drop from a Directv KaKu feed that is working properly and connected that directly to the lnb (again, that I know was working from 119) and run that directly to the STB. Check Switch. Still no 110W Even...
I'm open for any ideas or reasonable explanations.
