Anyone having problems recieving tp 22? My 501 locks the signal for a few minutes then loses it for a while. Double checked all connections, pulled card, upluged, reset. Check switch failed for even tps at 110 twice and passed 3 other times. I dont think its a bad switch or LNB since I can get a lock sometimes. This just started about 2 hours ago.

Solid 66 on that transponder.

It hasnt came back yet, and everytings fine on the other reciever. So I guess it its the switch or LNB. I'll give E* a call when I get home

66 in Sacramento Ca.?!

No wonder I cannot find the weakest trace of a signal from Echo V in Mexico City with my 6 footer.

Did you try moving the receivers around to see if it was a receiver issue? (I know a pain in the but but will help you troubleshoot better)

 

[Steve Mehs]

I didnt move the recievers just the cables coming off the SW21s. Ive narroweed it down to the switch or posabilty the cables from either going from the LNBs to the switch or from the switch to the f-connector. Tommorrow evening I'll sitch the switchs around to verify.

Problem solved! (I think, I hope)
Yesterday when I got home from work everything was fine, this morning again everything was fine, then all of a sudden Bloomberg started to fade in and out, all channels on TP22 at 110 were out, but the ones on other TPs at 110 were fading in and out. Went on the roof switched the switches around and everything is fine now. Getting all channels on both recievers now. I hope it lasts longer the 12 hours. I dont know what the problem was, it wasnt a loose connection between the switch and the coax, as I need a wrench to get the damn thing off.

I'm having the same problem with transponders on 110°. The transponders giving me problems are 19 & 23. Those are the transponders for HBO Comedy & HBO Latino.

Usually, I get a great signal from where I'm at. But, for the past week, the signal's been 10 points lower than what it usually is.

Anybody have any ideas why?
