Lost all signal in Mobile, Alabama, Sunny day...

[Poke]

Yeah here in OK clear day came home and my system said it was looking for service now its back up.

I thought is was my cabling. I ran a check switch on one receiver and the second receiver came back during the check switch. Glad it was uplink rainfade.

Hey all - mine went out earlier (around 4:00 or so) and I checked and saw this thread so figured I'd wait a bit... but it's still out.
The satellite signal is zero for 110 & 119... if it was just an uplink I would still have sat strength - right?
I'm thinking my LNB has just bit the dirt... it's only about 8 years old now...

Naw when the uplink goes down the signal dies. Tried a reboot?

3 reboots. Powered off for a couple of hours. Checked cables (disconnected / reconnected) all the way to the LNB - they all look to be ok - no corrosion, etc...
Only thing I haven't tried but will tomorrow (too dark to mess with now) is stretching a new cable directly to the LNB...

Going through the switch test it runs 38 tests and tells me I've lost both satellites.

It has all symptoms of a dead LNB and/or switch - but the switch test leads me more to believe it's the LNB...

Just checked my equipment date - I have a 625 and got it in '05.. the same time I got the new dish - it's a 500 Plus LNB... so 8 years it's been frying in the sun...

Hah, yeah, sounds like your well-aged system could use a checkup .

Had that problem on the 20th, with two different systems, today still getting some partial loss on clear day.
