My dreamlink will lose signal on one or two transponders and then they might come back if it feels like it. Could a power source be causing this type of problem. Nice sunny day out 95% signal on everything else so it is not a dish problem.Quote:

There is a ton of junk up there, some times transponders can be interfered with, by other satellite signals and ground sources, all it takes is the right combination of frequencies and poof it's gone, for a bit or longer.
Another possibility is the one satellite your looking at with those transponders is at just the right angle and you could get a reflection off something, (the ground??) this would cause a signal fade, if that transponder(s) is a bit weaker the the rest (it happens) it will fade out then it will come back on it's own, and at anytime.
Also there are two times a year where the Sun is just right and poof there goes the signals.
One other possibility is the LNB is heating up, and the LO is drifting for those transponders, it could go one way and the transponder goes another, a quick check for this would to hit it with some water from the garden hose, if it comes back you may need a Sun shield for the LNB.
I know this is an old thread , but was just reading thru it again. I have the same problem "power Supply" however it will happen again sometime down the road. You need a DP 44 switch and Power Inserter to supply enough to the LNBs . The T5 power supply is not enough to run 3 LNBs. It will fail again soon. The DP 44 power inserter will power the 3 LNBs . I am in the process of doing the exact thing. The T5 Power Supply will not hold up.Quote:

Yes it is a DC power thing with the 3 headed DP1000 LNB, but you do not need the DP44 switch, just it's power supply, as the DP1000 LNB has an internal switch.
The DP44 switches power supply runs at 20 to 22 volts DC at up to 1.5 amps, this is well within the spec's for the DP1000 LNB, it needs at least 750 mA of DC current and around 20 volts DC to run right.
98% of the FTA receivers out there can only supply 500 mA at 18 to 19 volts DC, this will under power the DP1000 LNB and could cause all sorts of signal problems, plus over time the LNB power circuit in the FTA receiver could suffer some sort of damage, then your receiver will go FUBAR.
Thanks !! GOOD INFO.
Yes I change my switch and try lnb... Always intermittent messages "no or bad signal" and it's the.... Power supply problems thank good helpful post ����
Would someone please tell me if this works for Dreamlink T5?
Input: 100V-240V 50/60Hz; Output: DC 12V 5A max; Output adapter jack size: 5.5mm x 2.1mm
Thank you!

As a power supply for the receiver? If it's rated for +12 volts DC and at least 3 amps or more it should work, I can tell much from the photo you posted, eyes are too bad.
You want one in this stile like this one:hxxps://www.ebay.com/itm/Power-Adapter-Supply-12V-800mA-0-8A-DC-50-60Hz-100-240V-AC-5-5-2-5mm-Brand-New/272405344641?hash=item3f6c9fb181:g:V0UAAOSwPJVdY5U BQuote:

Check the user's manual for the amount of DC current needed to run the receiver, if under 800 mA then that one would work.
You can always use a power supply with greater then needed DC current as the receiver will only use what it needs, the key is the DC voltage, 12 volts minimum, 13.8 volts maximum, at what ever the receiver needs for DC current.(or more)
I'm using a 65 watt (5.1 amp) laptop power supply
Terryl I was referring to the Style not the specs, the Built-in ones with only the one wire Seem to
work Better than the Block style ones with 2-or more wire connections coming off them.
Least that is what I have found between the two styles
