Good Morning everybody -
I have a general question I guess about my system. On June 15th, I had 2 dishs installed for 3 satellites - 61.5, 110, and 119. They gave me a DP34 switch and its run to a 942, and 2-811s. The past few days I have been having problems with a few of my channels, but the weird thing is that it seems to only be the channels on sat 119 transponder 2. Most everything else on all sats/transponders is well over 100, some are at 124. For some reason though transponder 2 on 119 gives me a reading of about 26.
I called dish, and they said to call the company who did the install. I then called them and they think the switch may be bad already. Does this seem likely so soon? (less then 2 weeks) I thought there was a problem from the beginning actually, as the pointdish screen behaved oddly compared to my neighbor who also has dish network. For example, when I pick a satellite and transponder, It usually takes around 10 secs or so to get things figured out. It will say stuff like "not locked, Wrong Sat-Unknown, It will jump from over 100 to under 30, and when it would finally say "locked on Echostar 119 West, the signal would still vary +/-10 or so and would become not locked.
I don't know anything about this, but why would everything else come through ok, and get ok signal except transponder 2 on 119? Does this sound like a bad switch or bad aiming job?
Thanks!
