LNB Drift=Repointing of Dish?

[JerseyGuy]

Have LNB drift error and lost one of my secondary satellites (61.5). Am I right in thinking my dish will have to be repointed? Also what causes LNB drift?? High winds, rain??

Could be a moisture inside ( bad sealing ), then wait for sunny days.
Post the numbers.

First try running a check switch with no sat cables connected to clear the matrix. Then rerun with the sat cables connected and let it down load the guide. IF it doesn't fix your problem then it must be something else like lnb failure .

2 Dish500 dishes: 1 for 110/119 1 for 61.5 hooked up to a DP44 switch, have 1 622 with the L4.0*, a 625 with L416, and a 508 with ??. One line running to all of them with DPP seperators for the dual tuner functionality on the 622 and 625.

Just ran sys info and it looks like a poss lnb failure on 61.5 as its reporting e0.00 o10.83. Although 119 is reporting e -5.88 o0.00

anything over 5 drift we replace the LNB. But anything over 10 could be a false reading. Replace it.
