    Default Dreamlink HD lost sat signal

    I have a Dreamlink HD (Not T4 or T5). I recently lost sat signal on both 110 and 119. Getting RED. No more Blue. Dishes have not moved. I even tried connecting direct to dish without Switch. Still no signal. It seems to me that my Dreamlink HD should be replaced. Any thoughts. Could it be just the DL200 card failing. Wouldn't I get a signal that I'm connected to the LNB regardless if I'm pointing to a bird.

    At least the IPTV is working. I don't like it, but it works.

    For now I'll be shopping for new IKS Receiver. Any preferences?

    I have a universal power supply that can be adjusted various different volts and tips. I can do 12 volts with 1.5 amps max and I have the proper tip with correct polarity . I will try it tonight. Just hope the Amp is enough otherwise I will have to buy a new one from Amazon.

    Find an old cable box or other 12 VDC adapter, more current is OK. Don't use the 12 VDC 1.5A.

    Did you do a factory reset? If so the TP's will default to the symbol rate of 20000 and DVB. You may need to check that they are 21500 and Turbo.

    I used my 12 volt universal Power Supply last night. Everything works great. I don't need to buy another receiver or power supply. Yeah.
    Thanks lobsterpot for suggesting the power supply. I figured the unit was turning on so power was not a problem. Back to watching TV with IKS.

    I personally would try it. 3A is not much bigger then 2.5A which is what the unit is rated for. I would tend to believe the 3A power supply would be better than my 1.5A. It wouldn't work as hard to supply the 12 Volt.
