Signal goes from locked to wrong sat

[JHUBB]

I moved one of my receivers out of the house and to an outbuilding about 200'-250' away from the dish. I ran rg11 cable from the dish to the receiver. I get some channels fine but some channels say acquiring sat signal. When I check signal strength the strength is over 100 and it blinks between locked and wrong sat. I also put an inline boost at the dish. Can anyone give me any advice on how to fix my problem? Thanks.

HI and welcome! Try doing a check switch and see if that fixes the problem. If not you will need to run rg6 to that recciver from the switch. and then do a check switch.

You can run a check switch from the signal strength menu by selection the check swich button.

check all your conections, what type of LNB do you have and what type in line amp did you use?

I initially had it hooked up with rg6 cable and still had the same problem. I have run check switch multiple times without any improvement. I have the dishpro quad lnbf. I have checked all the conections and they seem to be good. I am also using the inline amplifier from radioshack.

take out the amp. dish pro doesnt work with amp it needs to be a spetial one from dish

i just looked up the amp has to be SONORA they come in 1 in 1 out, 2 in 2 out, or 3 in 3 out. they spetialy designed for DP and DPP equptment ( at leasd that what they told us)
i used 3 of them and they do work great

You definitely need an amp since you already try RG11 and it doesn't work. I bet you you're not getting the channels in the high frequencies. For example, channels on TP2.

Sonora design has some nice amps that work with Dish Network. I've also tried some inline amps from Perfect Vision that worked.

The LA141 is for one satellite, the L142 is for 2 and so on:

Leave the Rg11 but remove the amp then run check switch again.

Instead of running this big of a cable line, and using amps etc, wouldnt it be easy for him to just get a 2nd dish and put it on his outhouse and hook the receiver to that. he will get al the channels that are authorized on that receiver. Should work right?

 

[volkodav]

that is a good point. yes it will work
