Dish 500 DPP, 625 receiver
Was working for over a year, signal has always been a little weak, rain fade etc. The installer didn't replace the old coax, which I'm sure is not up to standard and also didn't ground the dish. There have been some trees planted in front, but I'm not sure they are in the right spot or are large enough to have an effect...but maybe.
Check Switch reads Port 1 Sat. 119 red X, Port 2 Sat. 110 green okay
DPP Twin w/Seperator (same for both inputs) I've run check switch several times, rebooted etc. Channel reception is very spotty.
Point Dish shows Sat. 119 Trans. 1 at 64 and Sat. 110 Trans. 1 at 30
I've been reading and tried: a) raising the elevation of dish--no good lost everything
b) covered both lnb, one at a time, with no effect on signal strength
I'm thinking Diplexer is shot, but then, I don't know what I'm doing.
Any ideas???
Thanks in advance!
