Hello all. I'm new here so I hope I don't tick people off if the problem has already been covered. I did search the forums and found similar problems but not exactly. Here it goes.

For the past several months I have been noticing picture freezes, blocking, and error 002's on several channels. Found it was most prominent on 119-04 (ESPNs and other channels I frequent) on BOTH of my receivers. I'm familiar with the basics, so I checked for signal path obstructions, all cables, and switch. Even bypassed the switch, ran temp cables and tweaked the dish elevation and az. No dice. The strange part is I get 100 signal strength, but once in a while it *poof* goes to zero for a split second, then jumps back to 100. Now I was thinking it might be the LNB, the only thing I can't really test. Unfortunately, after I decided that it was the problem, I noticed the same issue now from the 110 feed!!! I'm at a total loss now. Does anybody have any suggestions? My Cubs game is shot, although the rain delay makes it a moot point, but I would like to have a clean signal for the Bears game Monday night. LOL.

If this problem has been asked and answered could someone share a link? Below is a list of my specs and "flaky" transponders. Thanks!!!

Dishnetwork Superdish
301 receivers
DP34 switch
Cables - all RG6
Drop outs noticed only on these transponders:
Sat 119-02,04 Sat 110-02,09,11

Afterthoughts: Can different transponders from the same satellite be affected differently by issues such as alignment or obstructions or anything? All you Sherlocks out there please suggest the most likely problem, as I won't assume all my troubleshooting is accurate.
 

Satellite meters - any good ones?

help please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
