My satellite connection (and receiver) was working fine for about 10 days, but I got up the other day, watched tv during the morning, and went to the school, came back an hour later it and was struggling to get a signal and has been ever since. It will lock on to different transponders but not the original one I had it set up for. Like NFL Network will come in smoothly (for a while) but then when I go to a local channel or ESPN it struggles to get a signal from the satellite and will come in and out.
I did go outside and notice a power line was pretty close to my line (almost touching), I don't know if that would have anything to do with it, but it's been struggling to get a consistent signal since Sunday afternoon. I've ran almost every test or installation type of thing on the receiver, but haven't been able to fully fix the problem. It will lock onto a different transponder for a little bit, but on that transponder it struggles to pick up channels for a while.
The level has never been red, it's always been green and will get up to 80-90 signal strength but struggle to consistently lock onto satellite 119. I'm using a Dual SD DVR receiver in Alaska I bought but the satellite (300 Dish) I'm running off of is old and only 1 cable goes into it (from my receiver) so I typically get half the stations with my package. I'm also sharing the dish with another person, but he claims to have no problems the last couple days. But I haven't had a problem either picking up the stations I do get, until a couple days ago. Any idea what this problem might suddenly be?
