replacement LNB cost??

[smokey982]

I have a Dish 1000(110,119,129) and a single dish (61.5) with a DP44 switch. But recently I have not been able to receive my HD RSN's (129 only). So I ran a check switch on both of my 622's and they both show an X for 129 sat.

If that's the only sat I no longer can receive, would a bad LNB more than likely be my problem? If so, how easy would it be to change myself and where could I buy one myself? I would rather not deal with Dish Network unless I have too.

Take the LNB off the 61.5 dish and replace the LNB for 129 that will tell you if the LNB is bad. Ebay has any LNB you want to gamble on working.

It's times like this that having the protection plan is worthwhile.

So call, add the protection plan, hang up, call again, report LNB, have LNB replaced, call back, cancel protection plan.

Is replacing the LNB a pretty simple procedure?

One question I have is why you are shooting 129 and 61.5?

 

[smokey982]

I had 61.5 for Sky Angel at one time. So when I cancelled I just decided to keep it in case I needed for another time.

The problem could also be dish alignment. The 129 signal is always the lowest of the signals that you pick up. So any changes in dish alignment are always noticed first on the 129. You can try swaping the lnbs like boba said, then if that doesn't work, you would probably want to call for a service call.
