Do I need a power inserter?

[DHScooter]

I will translate it for you LOL.
The jynxbox don't play well with the SW21 switch. It will work on a cable run of 40 feet or less but any more than that the jynxbox
just don't have enough power to switch SATs with SW21 switch.



I have just bought a Jinxbox v5 The SD Sats work fine but when I try the HD 82 & 129 sats it runs for 5 - 10 minutes & then it says no signal !!! Would anybody know if I used a Dish power inserter & power supply if that would fix the problem or would it fry the receiver ??? I am getting a strong signal & quality.

You hijacked this thread, prolly best to start your own new thread if you need more help, anyway had 1 that turned out to be the jb-200 tuner.

Nope, I moved his thread to where it should be....the clone section.

It all depends on the type/brand of LNB's your using and how you have them connected.

A bit more info on your seup would help us a bit.

Is it a V5 or is it a V5+, they are not the same, the V5 LNB output is 450mA, the V5+ LNB output is 650mA, so if you have the V5
then yes you will need extra power if you are using DPP LNBs or if you have a run of coax more than 40 feet with DPP LNBs you
should have a power inserter with all FTA receivers.JMO.
