Errors in 99 and 103

[gators614]

Hi I'm getting the weirdest problems with my dish. I have a slimline 5 with a swm16 it plus I have the h34 and several other receivers and DVDs. Everything has been working fine on the system for the last year until this past week. Here is the problem


One one leg of the Swm I get errors in 99 and 103 odd and even. with signal strengths as follows


101


95 98 95 0 95 99 95 98


95 98,99,95,99,95,99


99,0,95,98,95,99,99


94,98,89,100,95,98,95,99


110


87


88, 92


119


N/a


N/a


N/a 98,99,99


0,100,100,99,0,100,0,0


99c


75,77,73,80,73,76,76,80


72,76,75,79,74,77 n/a


103ca while I was watching this some went to zero for a minute then back up)


N/a


84,82,82,80,76,79,77,79


82,76,84,76,82,76,85,81



103cb first it was zero like this then after a few minutes.


89,84,86,82,83,0,0,0


0,0,86,86,85,82

Changed to the following


89,84,0,0,84,77,85,0


0,82,0,086,83

Then a few seconds later had full 80 on all, no rain and no trees in front of the dish
I'm getting the same signal strengths out of the other leg of the swm but get the following error message

99. 101. 103. 110. 119

Odd. X. X. X. Check

Even. X. Ch. x.

So when I watch tv sometimes everything is fine then other times I get error messages says with a number that I don't remember
And other times it says trouble communicating with the dish so I rest the swm and it works
So not sure if it's, the lnb, swm or power inserter
thanks for the help

Usually problems like you are having are caused by a faulty LNB. I would check for cracks or any other thing on the LNB. Could also be a cable or connection problem, check all cable connections for tightness.

Ok any other ways to test it to isolate the problem?

I don't think there is a test for an lnb, not in the field anyway. They just get swapped out. By those numbers, your dish should be realigned, too.
