I have 2 receivers. They are the DP-Twin1 and DP-Twin2 . They have satellite 119 and 110 on them. One day my locals weren't showing up on 1 receiver. I ran a check switch and the 110 didn't show up. So I called Dish.

After checking some stuff he suggested I swap receiver locations and try it again. That way I'd know if it was the receiver or the connection to it. It was the connection.

So next I went up to my roof and looked at the actual dish. It was clean and I didn't want to take anything a part and screw something up so I decided to go into the attic. 2 cables coming from the dish into the attic then attach to the 2 cables running down the walls into the house. I swapped them. That way I'd be able to tell if it was the cables in my wall or from the dish to the point. Well I swap them and suddenly everything is working.

No idea how it happened.

Congrats!

Chances are one of the connections were loose. Changing them tightened them and restored complete signal.

Or you removed voltage to the DP Twin on the dish giving a temporary reset that may show up again as a problem.

Guess it didn't work. It was out again last night. It moved to a different receiever this time so I know whatever the problem is its from the dish to the cable running into the house somewhere.

If you have 2 receivers unplug both from the wall then plug them back in if the problem goes away think about a bad LNB.

Okay I did that. The problem went away. I'm still fairly new here and not familiar with the shorthand - So what's a LNB?

It is Low Noise Block amplifier (feed). It is the device that is out front of a dish that picks up the sat signal. :welcome_s to the world of satellite forums.
