All of sudden signal and quality went from 97 blue to 97 red. It wasn't windy or raining, just went from perfect to nothing. Anyone know what happened?

Dish moved, switch failed if using one, LNB Quit, loose cable, weather, power supply, "Big Bird" Landed on LNBQuote:

Unlikely both lnb would quit at same time. No wind, no weather, no switch, no birds. What do you mean, power supply? Cables are tight. Can spliters fail?Quote:

Are you getting any messages like Bad signal,No signal showing on TV Screen ?
If so then it is most likely the Power Adapter (plugs in wall) that feeds your T5, especially if it
Was the original one that came with the box, have you changed it out lately, you need one 12v 4-6amp
For the T5 to operate correctly.
Thanks, haven't tried that yet, will buy one. Been using the same one for about 8 or 10 years. No or bad signal comes up.Quote:

The 97 red reading could mean that the receiver is working and receiving a signal from the LNB's, it would go to zero or something much lower then 97 if the LNB's or switch had quit.
I would go with the noofs suggestion and remove the HD module and try a SD channel.
Has your service run out
Also check in satellite if sat 91 and 82 are setup properly
Account status has no bearing on sat signal.Quote:

These splitters you talk about, where are they located in your setup, if between the LNB Feed to your T5Quote:

wrong on this, the receiver has to talk to the LNB on a constant bases, having splitters in-between mucks things up.
if main is on vertical so does secondary for it to workQuote:
