i only have signal on one tp.....

i cant figure it out????
my other sat is working and is connected using a switch to my receiver

i changed the lnb on 61.5 (it worked for 30 mins) stopped working (no signal)
changed the rg6 cable....changed the switch two times.....

tried all software settings ...tried factory default....tried loading bin over again.....

im guessing its a hardware problem but i dont know what else to change.... my dish is aimed perfectly and is very stable

there is no interference across the street either...its all open

please help


thanks

Never change an LNB ,cable, connector or switch when receiver is powered on...in fact always UNPLUG it first..U could blow a switch or LNB in 2 seconds otherwise..

the messed up thing is that the cable shows 72 but it cant find a signal (actually one tp does 12676 i think...it shows 72 50....)
all the others dont have any signal on them???

any ideas???
im gonna try a new lnb tomorrow morning and see how that works out....but i dont think that it is an lnb issue....

i will also try aiming another dish at 61.5 and see if that helps (but this is my last resort if i cant get anything to work)

JB . you need to provide information so that your problem can be solved. dont buy any lnb's you may waste your money .

what receiver you have? pansa viewsat cool or whatever . ?
how many sat are involved ? what type pf lnb's do you use?
what type of switch you use ?
what is the configuration you have in your receiver?
if u provide this information your problem will be solved then .

i have tons of sat parts so im not worried about that....

ok this is the setup
inside:
viewsat ultra (latest bin installed march)
rg6 cable running to it from outside
outside:
switch connected to two sats
bev 91 (works perfect)
dish 61.5 (does not work except for 1 tp)

bev dish is bev brand with dishnet lnb
61.5 is dtv brand dtv lnb

i have had them working for 1.5 years and just the other day the 61.5 decided to give me a little trouble

i powered off the box and unplugged the coax and the power

went outside:
changed lnb and switch

went inside:
worked for about 30 mins and then same thing
says no signal

loaded bin over after loading factory 3x
factory defaulted etc....

changed coax outside from dish to switch

tried so many different things....

im gonna run some more tests on it tomorrow but i was trying to find out if anyone knows of more tests i can try to determine the problem

the bev works perfectly and it even reads the 61.5 in the antenna settings

settings are as follows

61.5
11250
standard
port 2
(it reads the dish as echo 3 as well with full signal but only 1 tp has quality)

91
11250
standard
port 3
(it reads the dish as nimiq 1.3 as well with all tps full signal and quality)

You still didn't answer me

What dish and size?
What LNBs do you have?

- I got the part U say viewsat receiver
- Everything was working for 18 months
- 61.5 and 91

I have to assume U got 2 dishes because the only other way you'll get them is a super dish.

Try hooking the coax directly into the receiver,bypassing all switches,and rescan.

jb remember lot of tp's has zero signal in echo 3. echo 3 ahs only 173 channels . try tp 12472 and see if it gets the signal ; check if ur dish has moved. the best way bypass the switch use stright cable to the receiver and see what happen . orrrrrr if u got an other reciver see if it works with that . just to have peace of mind that there is nothing wrong with your receiver .
dont buy lnb's dont waste money . if u get level high that mean the lnb is fine .

thats the thing...i checked all the tps (mysteriously one of them has 50%q on it all have 70%s) none of hte other ones work
i know 61.5 well and know that every other tp has channels instead of each and every one

i will try straight through tomorrow and see...i will try my other boxes as well and see if they can get it....

i have tons of sat parts...lnbs...switches...cables...etc...im not worried about wasting money since i already have enough parts to make my house look like a space station :p

thanks guys i will give it a shot n get back to u with some results

Hey JB
A) Check your Coaxial Fittings.
(loose connection,short, or moisture)
B) Ajust the direction of your Dish.
