Guys,

I am hoping someone can help here, I had 3 multiswitches fail in the last few months. I can not seem to figure out what is causing the problem. They work find and then one day no satellite signal, the cable signal comes threw just fine for my local channels, but the satellites signals are dead. If I connect the receiver directly to the LNB it works fine too.

I am now beginning to think I might have a bad LNB does anyone know how to test them to see if they are working correctly. I am kind of at a lose here. I have tried everything I know with not luck and I do not want another multiswitch going bad.

TIA

Greg
 
It could be that you have electrical system problems. A floating or "bootleg" ground would cause overvoltages in your house wiring. I'd get a voltmeter and measure your house voltages with various high draw appliances on and off.
