Sometime yesterday afternoon I noticed my SAT searching for a signal on a channel that I normally get. I figured there must be some cloud cover and went about my daily business. When I got back last night and checked it again, I still wasn't getting that channel and there was no cloud cover. I did a signal check and noticed that all my odd transponders on SAT A(101) are all 0 but my even transponders are in the 90s to 100. SAT B and C transponders all get their normal signals as well. This issue is affecting all 5 receivers in my home(2 HD receivers and 3 DTivo).
I checked all the cabling to ensure that everything was connected firmly, wasn't wet and had no corrosion; found no problems. I replaced my multiswitch with another multiswitch and the problem remains.
I called DirecTV to schedule a service visit but A.) The guy won't be here until Thurdsday and B.) They want to charge me some 60 dollars so I would like to resolve this issue myself if possible.
I believe it might be a failing LNB. Is there any way I can confirm this hypothesis or does some kind soul(s) here have other suggestions?
Thanks.
