I have 2-wb68's in the 4 splitter config (5-2300mhz all-port power passing splitters mounted inline between dish and multi-switches). I finally have my dish problems sorted out and I receive about a 95 signal level on the 101 odd and even transponders.
Here is the problem. The receivers fed from ms1(multi-switch 1) are trouble-free. These receivers are a hr20, an h10, and a standard rca ird. The receivers fed from ms2(multi-switch 2) lost all signal from the 101 odd transponders (they were @ 95 earlier today) but the 101 even are still @ 95, as well as the 110 and 119 being about what they are on the other receivers. MS2 is feeding 3 dvr's dual tuners(an r10, a gxcebot,and a samsung tivo).
I took the feeds from one of the dvr's from ms2 and placed the feed on ms1 and the odd transponder was @ 95, placed back on MS2 and no signal. So does it seem likely that my 2nd wb68 multi-switch is bad? Originally the installer cascaded this multi-switch off of the 1st one. I could not get a 119 signal from the cascaded multi-switch, so I hooked up the splitter's according to what I have read on here. Could the cascading have damaged the multi-switch? I guess my other option is to wire the 2nd multi-switch directly to the dish to eliminate all other possibilities but any advice would be greatly appreciated. thanks
