Broken Switch?

[virtuallyunlimited]

Hi everyone, just looking to get some advice:
I recently moved my entertainment center and re-cabled all my gear. Once everything was finished I noticed I was missing some chanels on my reciever. I ran the setup and am showing signal on 110 119 and 121 but when I run a switch test the 110 satallite is showing as XXs.

So did I fry my switch or my reciever or the LNB? My setup is as follows

Dish Pro LNB to a dp34 switch then to a Dish Pro adaptor then to my only reciever which is a model 2700.

Is there any hope for me?

Thanks All!

Welcome to SatelliteGuys... Try unplugging your power inserter, unhook the coax to your receiver(after unplugging) do a switch check... then hook coax and power back up plug in your power inserter and try a switch check.

Make sure that you have the coax lines on either side of the adaptor hooked up to the proper side. One side connects to the line going to the receiver while the other connects to the line feeding the switch.

WOW! thank you for the quick replies. Unfortunately that did not solve the issue. I verified the cable connections are correct and ran through the recomended steps. I am still not showing the 110 LNB. I guess the next step is to try connecting the 110 into one of the other spots on the LNB to see what is up. Just to recap after this last Switch check it lists:
1A 1B 2A 2B 3A 3B
119 119 X X 121 121
Odd Even X X Odd Even

Under that is listed
Superdish with a check in Full and not 3 sat or 4 sat.

Thanks Again!

Take the cable that is connected to port 2 on the switch and move it to port one and vice verca, rerun your test and see what you get, if the X's follow then its either an lnbf issue or a cable issue most likely though I have seen the switch fail to where it will only show 2 of 3 sats.

Cool, I will give it a try tommorow in the light and report back!

Thanks!

Well, I swapped where each LNB goes into the switch and unfortunately it looks like it is the LNB. So I guess my next question is, does Dish cover the replacement or do I need to find one. It is the Superdish 121 Type 2 LNB and they seem to be pricey on the used market.

Thanks again for all the suggestions and help!

Well DP Dual is all the 110/119 LNB's are so either buy one or if you're under Dishes DHP or similar plan you could get a $29 service call which includes parts.

Not real sure what DP Duals run these days.

Be careful with those answers. In HIS case (121 SD), the 110 LNB is a standard DP unit, but the 119 is NOT.
