Dish signa red

[auggie]

To lock/find his problem i would leave the splitters out of the setup & add them in after problem solved if needed.

[auggie]

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.

if you been using the original power adapter for 8-10yrs. your lucky cause the original ones fail in short order
I will bet Dimes To Donuts it is the power adapter. the tell-tale sign of it failing is the BAD/NO SIGNAL message
Showing up on TV.

These splitters you talk about, where are they located in your setup, if between the LNB Feed to your T5
it won't work Properly, the receiver switching will get all out of wack over time. far as I recall/remember & I could
wrong on this, the receiver has to talk to the LNB on a constant bases, having splitters in-between mucks things up.

With the dual lnb, you have to have a splitter to get both 82+91 SATs. Has been working good for many years. Yea they are located right after the bev dish.

OK then, that is not called a splitter, it is either a combiner or a switch like a SW21 or SW44
Or a Tone switch combiner etc. Splitters That I recall take the Single feed and split it into 2 sources/locations
like for 2-TV's etc. Those do not work with FTA Sat. equipment because they are not switches or combiners.

Is he maybe using a diseq switch that has 4 ports? If so, try switching from the current 2 ports you are using to the other unused ones.

Nope, no diseq.

It's a both way splitter.

It's a both way splitter.

OK, Then it is a BI-Directional splitter for Sat, not a regular "Cable splitter" which don't work for sat equipment.

New power supply 6 amp didn't help. Ordered a expensive sat finder, will be here Wednesday. My cheap finder I bought wouldn't work at all.

cheap sat finder
preset elevation and skew
make sure mast is plumb
move the dish in increments

Go to dishpointer dot com put in your location what dish being used & what sats. you want to hit

and the program will give you the info to where you need to point the dish, including a line of sight bar from your dish location

Buy a cheap compass instead of a cheap sat finder.Have you tried removing the hd module as I suggested?

[Terryl]

Dishpointer dot com has an app for most cell phones, (if my memory is still working right) some phones also have a compass app, (my apple does) you can use your cell phone to help you out.
