I have been having trouble with my switch lately. It was working fine even yesterday.I have two dishes pointed at 110 and 121. Sat 110 is connected to #1 and 121 is connected to #3.When I try to switch a channel from 121 to 110, it doesn't seem to work.However, when I do the other way around, meaning from 110 to 121, 121 works just fine.The bottom line, there is problem with 110. By the way, it was raining last night and my switch has 4 slots - that is to say 2 slots are open. Could it be because of the rain that probably went inside of two open slots causing the switch to malfunction? By the way, I have tried all sorts of different things such as turning off the receiver and turning it on. Also, I changed around differnt slot such as #2,#4. Surprisingly, when I remove the 110 connection from the switch and after leaving it like that for a while, I reconnect it back 110 seems to function. But, as soon as I switch to 121 and try to go back to 110, sat 110 stops working. I would like to know if the switch is damaged because of the rain and have to replace it. If the problem is something is else please let me know how I can fix the problem. Thanks a lot in advance.
Yes there are numerous possibilities...switch, LNB, cables, connections, receiver settings, even the receiver can cause that, etc..but switch is most likely the culprit based on his post..
I have no idea what happened to my switch.But it's working fine right now. The problem has been solved automatically.This time I have wrapped the switch with plastic covers so that it won't get affected by the bad weather.Like I said it's really weird and this is the first time it has happened to me.
