Intermittent Reception Issues

[kdarcangelis870]

Lately there have been issues with my directv reception on some particular channels. These have been ESPNHD, ESPN2HD, and my tampa bay area hd locals in which all seem to come from the 103 satellite per lyngsat. Pretty much its an issue with the 103 satellite. Every day around 5pm these particular channels pixellate randomly on all receivers. Currently I have 3 H-21's and 1 HR 22 connected to a 6 x 8 switch which is connected to the 5 lnb slimline dish. I have already verified line of sight and there are no issues (I'm in florida, dish elevation is really high and there are no obstructions whatsoever.) Pretty much I have narrowed the problem down to either the lnb or the switch due to the fact the problem is ocurring on all receivers at the same time. Any suggestions?

Can you post your signal readings for each SAT?

Pretty much the same since i had the dish installed three years ago
mid 80's for 99 conus
nothing for 99 spot (nothing on it for my area)
mid 90's for 101
mid 80's for 103 (spot and conus)
lower 90's for 110
high 90's for 119

I forgot to mention when it is having issues the signal meter on 103 does drop off to zero intermittently.

Could you be getting terrestrial microwave interference that could be messing with one transponder or a group?

Not really, no microwave towers anywhere near wher I am located.
