I have had pansat 2700A system set up for years. Last night got no signal on Echo 7, 119 sat. Have deleted channels and tried all scans, no luck. Echo 8.10 is working fine. Have Dish 500 dish. Level is 30% no fluctuating with 0 quality. Is there anything else that I can try before determining the problem is internal to the box?
Tried both ways. Same problem. I read another post that said the C-13 & C-14 capacitors could be bad. Every post that I found said that the level would be around 99%. The level on mine is stuck on 30%.
Read another post that said that the Diseqc switch should be closer to the box. Mine is located outside by the dish itself. It has been that way for years. I had a similar problem last years where both the 110 & 119 were showing no signal. I changed the switch at that time and it corrected the problem. The 110 is set up on #2. If I change the 119 to #2, I get good level and quality. If I change the 110 to #1, I get the same issue. It appears to be something wrong with #1 on the Diseqc switch. Does this mean that it needs to be replaced?
Curious: Plugging in your antenna cable into the LNB OUT instead of LNB IN is an all too common mistake and could be responsible for you drop in signal.
Abby, I have not made any changes to the set up. I had been watching TV for hours and all of a sudden I got a no signal error on all channels associated with Echo 7. I will get out the ladder and move the cable to another port and see if it makes a difference. When I change it in the antenna set up to port 2, I get a strong signal and level. Currently, Echo 8 is occupying this port.
