    Default losing transponders

    hi, i'm using a linkbox 9000i local, everything was working fine on 110 and 119 until about a couple of month ago, then i started losing transponders on both satellites. i have figured out if i do a hard start, all the transponders work for up to about 5 minutes. then the same transponders go out and the channels on those transponders quit working. any suggestions?

    You'll have to edit all the TP's on 110 & 119 then rescan they're all mpeg 4 .

    Need to be set same as TP's on 129 turbo HD.

    The OP states starting happening couple months ago and when he does a hard reboot they come back so he has the transponder set ok.

    I suspect a failing LS500 module. Try some extra cooling and see if that helps. Put a laptop cooler on top of the box. If stabilize then get yourself new LS500 and keep the extra cooling in place.

    putting a fan under the receiver did not make a difference. what has worked so far was while scanning a tp i disconnected and reconnected a connection in the cable from the sat to receiver. unsure if ppv is working but channels 105, 136 & 138 are currently working again.
