Then the cause pretty narrowed to the DPP LNBF. I would try to substitute it by the same model , can you borrow it ?

I think I might try that next. I just tried adding a DishPro adapter (I figured I should probably have an extra one lying around anyways) but I got the same results. The next step is to assume I have really crappy coax strung in this (fairly new) house. I'm gonna run a nice short piece of brand new RG6 through the window and go from there. After that, it's a new LNBF. Thanks again!
You may want to try a Legacy twin or quad. If you need one, I might be able to help you out.
If you had your choice between the two, which would your preference be - the legacy or DP twin/quad? I already have a DP adapter now, so I may as well get a DP LNBF if it's got its advantages over a Legacy twin/quad.
I BLAME THE rcvr haha maybe... do you have your roo# PM me it i can pull up the rcvr and determine the replacement options we send 811 to replace now so that wouldnt be bad
ok so your 508 is doing fine in both rooms? on the same coax? and the same lnbf? but when you have a 6000 hooked to it it only picks up even... yeah it can be an lnbf but from a tech support view its more likely the recevier if its fine then move onto the lnbf.. as i said more likely the receiver much more but yeah try the new lnbf

- * Please do NOT attempt to get on your roof or adjust your dish.
- If the issue is on one single tuner receiver in a multi receiver or tuner install, swap this receiver with a working single tuner receiver in the home. When each receiver is connected, run a check switch on each receiver. Once finished, determine where the problem is.
- If the problem stayed in the room, check all connections between the receiver and the dish. Verify there are no loose connections or damage to the cables and switches.
- If the problem followed the receiver, the receiver needs to be replaced.
