I did try that before I ever called DTV for a service call. I took the receiver and a small portable tv (not the one I use in my shop though) and set them up next to the switch with a 6 foot cable and all channels came in fine. That is when I bought new RG6 cable and tried it with no success...

Tried that with the old multiswitch. Moved it to two of the unused ports and one of the ones being used in the house with no change. didn't see the need to try it with the new multiswitch. Also I got the tech to run a dual RG6 cable to the shop this time so I can be HD ready. Both of the cables...

Continuous run from the multiswitch to the receiver. No splices, no nothing. Thanks

Ditto on the stumped JMIKEH. I actually was going to try your first suggestion last night and plug the receiver into a dedicated outlet, but when I went out at 9:30 (it was cool) to do that all channels were working good. Signal strengths on Sat 101 were all at 95 and above and steady. I am...

Welcome to my Twilight Zone! The new cable is just laying on top of the ground (grass) now as I haven't re-buried it yet. No changes in shop equipment or anything like that. My shop is a separate insulated building from the house that is heated and cooled and dehumidified. It stays at around 72...

Was gone most of the day and didn’t get to record readings this morning when it was cool, but here are the values this afternoon. I recorded them three times over about a ten minute period and you can see the erratic numbers on some of the Sat 101 transponders. Sat 110 stays dead steady as does...

I will post those hot and cold signal strengths tonight. Thanks

Roger the strange problem. Yes everything but the dish was replaced. I build custom furniture full time and as a one man shop the TV is my company all day so this is really a pain. I failed to mention that the tech from DTV was a little skeptical of the original mast installation. It had a...

Please explain. Bear in mind I am the homeowner, not a tech guy. Thanks for your help.

Yes the multiswitch was replaced along with everything else I listed in my original post and it is located inside. As to the signal strengths they are irratic. I will have to copy them down tommorrow but they vary a lot from one minute to the next. The transponders on sat 101 can be all in the...

Its got to be the heat for two reasons. It worked fine for two years before becoming a problem and the channels don't "return" until after dark when things cool down. If it was the position of the sun it would be relatively short lived, right? If this was a new install I would think it was just...

Hi, New to forum and hoping someone has had a similar experience. I have had DTV for 15 years but moved two years ago this month so that is how old this installation is. I have a MPEG4 KU/KA Band Slim Line Dish feeding a Zinwell WB68 6X8 multiswitch. The coax run from the LNB to the multiswitch...
