Help to understand

I am testing with 2 T5 boxes and both have the same issues. I have 2 separate dish for 82 and 91. My channels are not staying up. I always have bad or no signal. I am connected to server and have to rescan always. Getting 92+++ signal and quality. I have removed the switch and connected 82 or 91 directly, but same issues. Could it be, i need to change the LNB's but again, when i re scan, i get the channels and would disappear next day!!!!!

A couple things that may cause your problems
1. Heat issues with HD Module,etc. 2. Bad power adapter (unit that plugs into wall plug)
3. Check LNB'S, CABLING, for corrosion, etc. If you are getting bad or no signal "ERROR" Showing up on TV
Then I would be leaning towards #2 Power Adapter is bad (especially if it is the original that came with T5)
Couple of things you can try, take a portable fan and have it BLOWING air down through the top of Receiver (cooling)
see if that stops the bad or no signal issue. It is process of elimination to find what is causing your issue

just curious if you are close enough to the ring of fire to get the best signal?

When you say you are testing "2 T5 boxes" do you mean they are both connected and in use and having this issue or are you testing them one at a time?

can you explain exactly your setup?
you have two dishes ,one for 82? one for 91?
switches what kind? how many? How do wires run? etc
