please help...i have a bev w/3100 receiver, was working fine then one day i lost all odd tp's, tried everything i could think of, new cable, hooked up directly from lnb to rec, i even took my rec and lnb and mounted it on my brothers sat and the hardware works fine, voltage on even/odd is 18/14 yet i still have no odds, could interference from a radar detector cause this? please help, its driving me nuts. thanks

you probably have a bad lnb... swap with your brother

my lnb works fine at his location but not mine would that make a difference?

sorry ... i thought you only took the rec to his location ...


but try his are yours if it is not too much trouble


the only thing i can say is that you might try repointing it ...

usually when you loose transponders it is lnb or rec.

well, i swapped lnb and rec and his works at my house and mine works at his house....don't ask me why or how, i guess my lnb wanted a new home... i never touched the alignment either.

it might have been a hair line short ... ..moved when putting on the connector or taking it off ..??????????????????????????
