SWM - not such a happy dance

[premio]

Can someone please help me troubleshoot my SWM setup.

I have 2 HR-20's that combine into a SWS-2, which goes up to the SWM Module. 1 Feed is using the PI and connected through the RED port on the SWS-2. I also have OTA diplexed within the SWM8.

Everything works great -- when it's working. For some reason the SWM stops working after 12 hours? or so. I don't have an exact timeframe yet because it's new. 1 Hr-20 is on Nat Release, and that is the one with the PI connected now, I recently moved it from the other HR-20 to see if there were any power cleanliness issues.

Any advice?

SWM8 I'm guessing.
If so the SWM has two outputs.
Can you remove the splitter and connect the PI to SWM #1 and then an HR and connect the other HR to SWM #2?
How warm is the SWM getting?
They run warm to the touch, but not Hot.

I just re-made the connections on the wire that runs from the SWM to the SWS-2 - In the rain on my roof! :) ThE PI is now coming off of the different feed to eliminate downstream problems. I do believe this cable is RG-59 as well, as the shielding was not what I was used to seeing when making the other cables in the house. Possibly the culprit?

The SWM was cold, maybe not getting power to turn on? or maybe because its cold wet and rainy. After redoing the connection I now have both TV's back up, but last night I went to bed after downloading the CE and had both TV's.

Is there a way to update the SWM firmware, or force it to check?

No, there isn't (as far as I know).

No on the firmware, but as for the RG-59, it should work, but I wouldn't use it between the SWM and PI.
Cold sounds more like it's working fine, since it shouldn't get hot and todays hasn't been that warm [50 miles north of you].
