Would they charge for a service call if someone tampered with my setup?

I still vote for "misalignment". A guess: you are getting 77 into the center LNB designed for 72.

Could be. When you run the check switch it should come back with four boxes. Which two are blank?

If you lost 61.5 & 72.7 you had 2 LNB fail at the same time misalignment is more logical.

A Dish sub contractor. We've seen it happen before.

I've worked both inhouse and sub. There are excellent techs on both sides, but also techs who bring new meaning to the word "lazy" on both sides.

Yup, both subs and in-house come in good and bad varieties. That's why as a local retailer we do all of our own installs to insure it's done right every time. Customer knows that they'll get a great job and we know we'll have a happy customer for future referrals.

Should have figured out a way to connect that coax to something to fry the equipment at the end. Short of starting a fire of course.

Cut the receptacle end off a long outdoor cord. Black goes to the center conducter of the rogue coax, white to the shield. Plug 'er in & watch!

Okay, I think you all are right... Now I am thinking again that it is misaligned.

Block 1 and 3 are blank. Block 2 says 77. Block 4 says 118.

If I recall, I think 77 used to be in Block 1, right? Also, when I do a signal check - I get locked on 118 and 77, but when I go to 72, tp32 - I get a very weak Wrong Sat - Nimiq 82.. I don't know how I found myself on tp32 since I usually test the signal on tp9 or 15.

So, perhaps if I can turn the dish clockwise I might be able to find 72? Do I have that right?

Looking from above, I'd call that counterclockwise.

Thanks.. that's why I stink at this. Going to give this a try.
