My dish is connected to a Dish Hopper 3 through a DPH42 switch.
One morning a couple weeks ago my normal 129/119/110 changed to 129 & blank.
I checked the signal with a meter (Acutrac III+) at the cables directly connected to the LNB assembly. Only the first lead had signal. Assuming the switch in the LNB assembly had failed, I then replaced the entire LNB assembly. That solved the problem.
All was well until this morning. It just did it again. Identical symptoms. Any idea why this would happen twice within two weeks?
Are you using a Winegard Trav'ler? There has been numerous reports of the tiny coax(es) inside the arm of the antenna going bad. A new cable and all is better. Just a thought!
If it's a Trav'ler, is it a 2018 or later model?
Good call!
I still don’t have WA access so I’m relying on my meter. Cable wiggling showed that two of three cables were intermittent. I replaced with a sheathed cable bundle from Winegard. The meter is happy now even with wiggling and several ups and downs.
Real test won’t come until I have WA again but I think it’s fixed.
Thanks.
