DishPro swithes gone bad ?

[0pen]

Hi im wondering if anyone has came across this problem before. I had 2 dishpro swithes that use to work perfect then one day its not picking up both sats it use to get the 119 and 0ne 110 know its only getting the 110 on the check swith page it is getting a signal strength fir the 119 but its saying wrong sattellite and is saying that the 119 is really the 110 when its not all the receiver that are hooked up to my quad are working ( getting both sats ) this is the second swith that has went south. i have tried corrupting the flash and doong a hard reboot but nothing works

have you ever thought of buying some BRAND NEW RG6. usually if it says your getting a signal on 110/119, but the check switch fails, it's a cable problem. Even check the ends to make sure they are ok

Open has a good point. I don't think it's a cable problem.
I have a dishpro lnb switch, and it's exhibiting the same problems Open has. The cable works fine.

I find that taking the IRD and a TV out to the dish with a good piece of cable and hooking up direct is the most reliable way to pin point the problem.

I keep a battery operated TV around just to set dishes up and check them and the switches in the field.
You can get them for $30 to $50 bucks.

I even picked up a little 12 volt DVD player to go with it to take to the beach and on the boat and stuff for $30.

Something like a switch goes bad frequently enough you can just go to the local dish installer / store and tell them that you had a problem and called customer service and they told you you needed a new swtich and they will sell you one, no problem.

You can also get one from //www.prosatellitesupply.com/ a legit dealer with good prices and fast shipping, I use them and am happy with their service. they have a I-Net store and a E-Bay store too. Check prices at both the E-Bay are usually lower. There are NO problems with buying legal items like switches.
