Dish/winegard problem solved
Several months ago our dish hopper/winegard roof traveler system stopped working. We have continued to carry the hopper but only used the dvr part. I tried all I knew but could not get it to successfully complete a test installation procedure even though the winegard was showing three sats locked in. I tried a new DPH42 switch with power inserter to no avail. We are now in Red Bay, AL to get the snap on wheel covers made.
I called a local winegard dealer to see if he could help while we were here and I had the hopper 3 with us. Long story short he told me to try several things and in the end bypassing the power inserter part of the DPH42 switch worked!
We now have satellite TV again and it cost me nothing. Wow am I happy plus I don’t think I will have to have the DPH42 unplugged while the winegard is finding the sats anymore.
Needless to say, if we need satellite service in the future we will come here to see Nick Brewer at 2564605245.
BTW, i found this guy thru the Tiffin workers list of people that will work after hours. We are using several to fix various things even though we do not have a Tiffin. In fact, our converter died last night, and an electrician who worked for Tiffin 15 yrs came and replaced it today.
