Equipment hopper1, 2 joeys solo node. I'm thinking installed 7 years ago. Don't remember. Never any trouble except thunderstorms. Just got up one morning and was missing channels. Dish points sw. Marked mast and tried small adjustments but not in combinations. 1 to 2 degrees and only got worse. Could not find 3rd satellite. Went back to original settings. Original settings were within 1 degree of recommended for my zip. Thank you.

Most likely a bad lnb.

thank you for your reply.
New dish or can those be replaced? Had my dish info written down but do you think I can find it right now?

 

[osumike]

Easily replaceable if you can get to it. Looks like you need a dpp 1000.2 western arc triple lnb.

Move to a Hopper 3 while you’re at it. You’ll be very happy you did.

Ditto. Good advice. And getting upgrade (with 2 year yada yada) ought to fix all problems for little to no charge.

Says the man that holds onto his HWS so tightly. (Must have that red recording light.)

Thank you. Lnb is a71202-wl1100960 if that helps.

Should unused f connectors on the 1000.2 be capped with terminators?

Nope.

 

[indycraft]

Nope.

Thank you.

Wow, what a process. Installed new 1000.2wa. This is the first test where 129 showed up. More channels showing up but 129 switches back and forth between transponder and spot. Currently at E 35 S112 . Az? is at the original heading. Suggestions appreciated. Thankyou.

Wait a minute - that's not right. Did you get a DPP LNBF, or a DPH LNBF? It looks like the wrong LNB and the Switch is showing DP feed - which is wrong. It should say with a DPP LNBF and Solo Node something like WA DPP Solo Node and with a DPH LNBF and Solo Hub, it would say Hybrid Triple WA.2

1000.2 wa. Now that I said that I will look in the morning on the dish. It has 4 plugs. Hybrid has 3 right?. Node is 185834. Photos of receipt and box label. Thank you. Help is appreciated

That's DPP and you say you have a solo node, correct? Possibly it's the nose that was bad all along? Or is it possible that the cable may be damaged somewhere?

 

[indycraft]

Yes solo node. This afternoon when I had one tuner locked to 129 I got those channels . The signal status check showed 129 green 110x 119x inspite of the check switch each having a single tuner checked green. Heck I don't even know what a normal successful check switch looks like

3 green check marks under each Sat, no red x's

 

[osumike]

Yeah that's a weird one. Can you bypass the node entirely and run check switch, just to see what the results are for us?

Since yesterday's test where I pulled in all 3 sats on 1 tuner each. That test resulted in me pulling in the 129 channels but nothing from the other 2 even though the other 2 were locked. Late yesterday I realigned the dish so my wife could watch live pd on sat 119.

This morning I returned to the e35 s112 with same az but could not get 129. Weather may have something to do with that.
Installed new r6 3000 cable between node and receiver. No apparent change.
Unplugged Joey's from node. No apparent change.

Plugged both sat cables 1 at a time into new receiver cable (no node) with barrel connector and both times got this.

I'm hoping that is just a loose connection in the house and not the 1000.2.

So waiting for rain to quit while I work on accepting I'm probably looking at having to sign a contract to get new equipment.

I appreciate the time and thought you all have spent in your efforts to help me.
