Hi,

I have a fixed dish with LNBs pointed at 13e, 19.2e and 28.2e, using a skybox F3. All was fine (75%+ reception on each sat) until a few days ago when I started having problems with the 28.2e channels. The other 2 sats are fine, but I was getting no signal (intensity 29%, quality 10%) on 28.2e. The signal reappeared briefly but now is back to 'no signal' for all channels / transponders.

Is this signal necessarily then a problem with either the LNB, the switch or the cable connecting the LNB to the switch? Or could it be a problem with the skybox? Not overly keen on going onto the roof to investigate....

Cheers

runa feed direct from the lnb to the box to eliminate 2 probs

could be anything just a case of tracing it bit by bit

Could be a faulty switch.

I had a 4 port one & one by one, the ports started packing up so only one was usable in the end.

I put a new diseqc switch on & all was fine again.

Thanks for the advice folks. For some strange reason, it's been fine again the last couple of days without me doing anything?!
