Hello All

Been doing a lot of reading and think i have a prob with my dishes and lnb's. I have 3 dishes on my house pointing too 3 different sats. 119, 110 and 91. I am also running 2 limesats with 2 different switches and 2 seperate cables from each switch. My lnb's are all dual, meaning i have a double hook up on each lnb to go too 2 seperate boxes.

I am having a prob with interference between the boxes , some times one box will scramble the other . When i change channel back the box will come back on.

So like i said, both boxes are on seperate switches and cables coming in too the tv's, only similarity is that they are hooked up to same lnb's on the dishes.

Hope i posted in the right forum?

Thanks for any help

Get some 12 gauge solid copper wire and ground all switches,(if they have metal; cases and hols for mounting them) one wire to each switch, then connect them to 1 main ground wire, connect this main ground to a good earth ground, such as an outdoor metal cold water pipe, a ground rod, or the main AC electrical service ground.

A properly grounded system will have less problem with ground loops and cross talk.
