Well, I'll give this one a try and see if he likes the pic quality. If it's bad, return and order a better one.

Will there be a noticable picture difference between composite and component?
red/yellow/white yields 480p which is sd only.Red/blue/green yields 720p on an hd broadcast.Some tvs can upscale 720p to 1080I.The picture difference/quality is quite noticeably better on hd broadcasts with red/blue/green,even when converted to hdmi.Quote:

Thanks for all the help!
i wonder if the video buffer or hdmi ic chip has anything to do with this problem the T5 suffers from :noidea:
Tried the fan on top of the receiver and still does it have new power supply have another on in the bed room rock solid never has a problem (what is the voltage and amp for the power supply that you guys are using)
The problem TV is a Vizio and the tv with no problems is a older LG don't know if that's a factor

You need a power supply at 12v 3.5-6 amp for the T5 to operate properly, and also how much equipmentQuote:

Spec's for the Vizio to T5 have to match (1.2 1.3 1.4 etc.) and in some cases you might need a booster/converter
of some kind, cause some T5's have the WONKY HDMI PORT, I have one with it and I had to hook-up with a
Component to HDMI Converter for mine to work right.
i use a 12v 6 amp. my coax run is only like 60ft at the most. i use dish pro lnb so not much power needed there. fan installed on top using power from inside the dream itself.
I'm using a similar setup:I have a thin 12v 80mm fan mounted on the iside of the cover.I'm using the 3 pin connector near the front left corner of the mainboard.It's 5vdc, so the fan runs slower,but very quietly.Still nice & cool, & it looks factory.I have 7 units out there all the same config.We use 4 & 5 amp power supplies with good results.Quote:

Does it since couple of weeks, I got my box for about 5 years.
Any idea?
Take the HD Module out & see if it reboots on a SD Channel.Quote:

Failing that then I would say you have some Failing capacitors or Bulging ones on the PS Board
Yes, I put the module on the right side. I'll test it without the module, good ideaQuote:

About 2 years. For the moment, it doesn't reboot without the module.Quote:

It does reboots with 2 different modules. If its really the module, I'll put it back and try the bootloop file.
Without the module, it rebooted like once in 24 hours and blinked 2 times.
I'll try the bootloop file.
By the sounds of what you are Telling me, I believe you are having Heat issues, the fan you are usingQuote:

I think my fan is good, the box is all cold.Quote:

Sometimes it lost signal even if the weather is fine
Are you getting any messages on TV Screen like "Bad Signal, No Signal" ??
If so then it might be your Power Adapter, is Failing ?
Yeah I get this message.
I don't have any bulbing capacitors, but I'm going to test each of em and powersupply with multimeter.
Try a different (New) Power Adapter, if you are getting the "Bad Signal, No Signal" MessageQuote:

That won't cause his Receiver T5 to Reboot which was his original post on the issue, But a Failing power adapterQuote:

Showing up on TV.
No the dish is good, I got really good signal on both lnbs.Quote:

I tested 3 powersupplies, 1 x 2a, 1 x 2.5a and 1 x 5a. It reboot with all of them. I got them for about 2 years.
I tested 2 hd modules. It reboot with both.
I need to test with brand new powersupply or hd module, to be contined.... ��
If you are "Still" Getting The "Bad Signal, No Signal" Message Showing up, Then My $$$ is on the Power Adapter is Failing
or the Components inside the T5 (bad Caps) are on their way "OUT." You may not always see Bulging Caps, indicating
they are Bad or Failing.
Finally found that was a failing powersupply, again... ��
Anyway, just need to buy a new one, not too bad ��*♂️
Oops wrong diagnostic, that is my Hd module.
I got 2 fans on it, I tried to put thermal compound but still reboot when it become hot.
Will try to put a heat sink. We'll see
Your T5 HD Module, should have either a Silicone or Aluminum Heat-sink on it already ?Quote:

Yeah it had a rubber block on my first, now it is an aluminum heatsink.Quote:

If your 8psk is getting too hot,even with supplemental cooling, AND you have had multiple power supply problems,you probably have a cabling/lnb/switch issue causing this.Time to look deeper in to the cause rather than the effect.I have only once replaced an 8psk for the second time on a dreamlink, and never a power supply for the second time.I have about a dozen dreamlinks out there.I assume you're using at least 3.5 amp supplies?
If your unit has the silicone block heat sink,take note that they are slightly rectangular rather than square.Be sure to install it the way that gives it the best crush between the the 8psk & the cover.You should feel a slight warm spot where the block & the cover contact.
No I checked everything, I got a 4amps and 5 amps powersupply, a laptop cooling system (not connected on the box), my lnbs and cabling are fine.Quote:

No reboot for now.
Thx
laptop cooling system, (where T5 Sits on top of it) Is Not going to "CUT IT FOR COOLING" not enough air-flowQuote:

I know for sure the original power supply effects the T5. In fact I've changed it myself to great success.
This latest conversation however has nothing....really to do with the topic post. Maybe, if a mod has a few minutes this thread could be split for both topics.
