Red Signal On T5

[zare6]

My T5 lost all blue signal on 119/110/91, the signal went red on all 3. I tried removing the diseqc switch and connecting the cable direct to one dish , i tried running a new cable , i tried a new t5, nothing but red, is tit possible all 3 lnb's went at once? We did have a power outage a day before I lost signal. Thanks

Could be your module

changed the module, I even tried a new t5

If you have 3 separate LNB's the likelihood that all 3 went at once is very low, I would try a new LNB on one satellite and see what happens.

Do you know what caused the power outage?? Storm, power surge, pole down, what??

[zare6]

I had a single on all 3 dishes and I just tried a dual off a dish setup I had, and still nothing. I dont know what caused the power outage, it was 20 below and snowing.

Another question the file I loaded into the new t5 is 104, is that the latest file

[The Noof]

Dish moved perhaps???106 is the latest bin for a T5, but 104 would at least show signal, assuming all your settings are correct.

I was thinking the same but the dishes are mounted on a steel tower cemented into the ground, all 3 are separate . Hmm where do i find 106

LNB's could have froze, or water at sometime got into something (coax or the connectors at the LNB's) and then froze, and like the Noof said, the dish has drooped due to snow loading.

Do you have a satellite meter?

When you tried a new T5 did you also use it's power supply? Or the old one from the other T5? (if they have an external power supply that is) due to the power failure the external power supply could be FUBAR...

I used the new power supply, i dont have a meter

[zare6]

Thank you, ill try updating the file

Sorry...I missed your post about 3 separate dishes/lnbs.It would take a lightning strike or a wayward Soviet missile to take all 3 at once.Double & triple-check all you have done so far.

So I cut 2 feet off the cable and I now have signal on 91 . the cable is connected direct to the lnb no switches. for some reason i only get a blue signal using DVBS QPSK. I used the turbo mode in the past.

Is that the cable you said you replaced???
