EF ECOFLOW Portable Power Station Delta 2, 1024Wh

That could be the reason. Follow the coax back to the dish, and see what it all goes through. IF there's a powered switch, that'll also need to be on a UPS. That might fix you up.

The cable from the Dish on my roof comes down to a Hybrid Solo Hub and then it goes into the house. There is nothing after that.

I would check the voltage actually being fed to the hopper. If it's too low it can cause the hopper to not send power to the lnb which would result in no signal. Also if there's any grounding on the solo hub or dish, it can also cause issues if theres other electrical issues.

There is a ground wire running from the solo hub to the main disconnect panel.

I would consider a UPS that's also an AVR. I've got two of them, the first one I bought way back in 2009, (due to our local power being very on/off/brownouts back then, so why I needed an AVR version) and it's still running perfectly. Though I don't also have an Ecoflow, I DO run these UPS's on a diesel generator during power outages, and I've NEVER had any issues with my electronics acting up since they were installed. The older models I have are discontinued, but here's the newest one. You can also replace the batteries when they need replacement in like 5 years or so:

You might not need a bigger model like mine are, but for sure consider an AVR version. It's better for electronics.

In a few weeks I will get a transfer switch installed for a bigger EcoFlow product. I will test it then. I can also fire up my generator that will be connected via an interlock to see if the H3 will work then. I have a bigger and older AVR UPS that will not fit in my home entertainment center. The new ones you linked will fit.

My Gillette 6kw diesel generator, is plugged into my electrical panel through a 30amp 220volt breaker, and on a manual interlock system. Power goes out, I start the generator and let it warm up a few minutes. I then flip OFF the main breaker, which then allows me to move the blocking interlock lever from the generator breaker, which I then flip ON.

I then also turn on the switch for THIS, and it screams (loud enough I have to wear earplugs to approach and turn it back off) when city power comes BACK: https://www.amazon.com/Reliance-Controls-Corporation-THP108-PowerBACK/dp/B003KREORA

Not saying to do it permanently but disconnect the ground and see if it fixes the issue.

Also if there's a ground from hub to the service disconnect then there should also be a black wire on the other ground terminal on hub that's comes from the coax cable going to dish. And other end should be connected to the mount the dish is on.

The problem has to be ground related. On an EcoFlow forum they are asking if the power station is plugged in to an A/C outlet. It was not. I will play with it more today.

My Dish is on the roof over 15' above the ground. I can't see if there is a ground wire up there.

This is a response I got from an EcoFlow forum. I will try this to see if it will work.

If the device requires a grounded circuit that would make sense then because the power station has only has a floating neutral. Get a neutral ground bonding plug from Amazon and that will resolve any grounding issues.
