Dups on both polarities

I would check the voltage at the LNBF, with the LNBF attached.
Set the receiver to both vertical and horizontal polarity, and let us know both readings.
Are there any switches , splices , or other connections involved?

Receiver has brain-locked?? I guess you already rebooted by now though. I used to get that on 103 before I set a dedicated dish for it lol.
microhd with pll lnb, nothing but straight wire to the lnb.
so no one else is seeing this, its def an issue with my system right?

Agree with Anole. Check the voltage at the LNBF. 13vdc on Vertical and 18vdc on horizontal (+/- 10%). Check for corroded connectors, damaged coax, etc.
Sometimes if your LNB skew is off, it'll pick up what looks like the same things on both polarities. Had that happen here once.
finally getting around to this, positive lead on the conductor and negative on the screw on piece of the coax right?
nevermind, scanning in fine now. i tested it on H and when i came back it looked like the micro had powered off and back on and now everything is working correctly, so awesome, thanks yall haha
Without resetting anything. Place the receiver on confirmed correctly programmed horizontal and vertical TPs. If you have a splitter with both ports power passing, take readings with the LNBF connected and the 2nd coax connected to the voltage meter. Please report the exact voltages. Example: 13.6 vertical / 17.9 horizontal.
Rated to 2000 MHz would be best for test, but any splitter with both ports passing power will work for testing voltage.
Ok heres what happened
put on a H TP, went up stairs put it on the cable, 18.1v, went back down stairs, while i was doing that the micro restarted, put it on a V tp and read 13.7 and came back down and it had not restarted but now everything is working again?
do you think there is something in the micro that is not switching right and when i go to test it it shorts and reboots or something and then it starts working right for a while?
i dont know just guessing, and these readings are outside at the lnb btw

Maybe a bad connector that's causing a short now and again. That would cause the Micro to shutdown to protect itself.
Unless you are connecting and disconnecting the coax with power on, that can be dangerous if you slip and short against something. It'll also blow switches.

Yeah I think I did disconnect while it was on I think, there are no switches.
But it does seem like after that it works for a while correctly

ok, new developments. since my last post everything has been working perfectly. today i turn on and scan in only V again. i did clear the channels before i started scanning so i cant check one of the H chans that were there so cant check that but i bet you if i disconnect the lnb now while its powered on and hook it back up it will start working.
brian what should i do?

Are the duplicated channels from a horizontal or a vertical transponder? Examples?
Since you have not been able to test as previously suggested, maybe try again without shorting the coax causing the STB to reboot? Using a splitter with both ports power passing, take readings with the LNBF connected and the 2nd coax connected to the voltage meter. Please report the exact voltages. Example: 13.6 vertical / 17.9 horizontal.
