I recently made a couple changes to my Dish setup. I installed a 1000.2 EA dish that only can see 61.5 and 72.5 which replaces the separate dishes I had with a spilt-arc. I have a DPP44 switch out at the dish, and did have 2 coax cables coming into the house from ports 1 & 2 going to tuners 1 & 2. Cable 1 goes to the DPP44 power booster first, then up to tuner 1. The signal numbers from the transponder list match the levels required for my area for the key transponders. That's the 1st change I made, and it ran like that for a couple days just fine as far as I know, with no spurious reboots. Unless some occurred when I wasn't around.
I then consolidated the coax cabling coming into the house a few days later. I removed cable #2 from the switch, and from tuner #2. I installed a dish separator on cable #1 (actually at the end of the coax jumper coming from the power booster for the DPP44), and attached each leg from the separator outputs to tuner 1 & 2 inputs. I then ran a check-switch, and it found the separator and all appeared to be well.
Today however, the receiver has rebooted twice for sure that I know of. Once this morning, and once about 1.5 hours ago. I was not watching it at either time, I was watching my FTA receiver, but heard the reboot and the fan kick on and off. I switched over to it, and it did the 5 minute signal thing, and then did the 10 minute FULL guide reload (both reboot times it did the full guide reload. That doesn't typically happen on a regular signal loss reboot, at least I don't remember it happening?).
So, I don't know what's up. Did my changes cause this, is it a fluke, is my internal harddrive going bad yet again? I've had spontaneous reboots before from signal loses during thunder storms, but that's not happening today. Since I wasn't watching it at the time, I don't know if there was a signal loss screen just before today's reboots either. OH! I checked the temp of the drive in diags, and the high is 127 degrees, low at 95 (it's been 95+ here for days)
Anybody got any ideas?
