Check your dish again. Maybe it moved?

[browntriniboy]

na, both receivers are running off same dish, other one works fine.

if you change ports and it says echostar7 on all the ports then you have a voltage issue i just had one at a friends you can ground your dish out really good and that will fix it .. I had a somalar problem with a sub and a fta the sub was taking over from the fta we grounded it and put a multiswitch on to control the voltage it works like a charm now not only that the multiswitch also lets him attach 2 more reciever for 4 recievers if he wants

[browntriniboy]

but how is it the other receiver works fine? Disceq?

[tomcat01]

one can pull in better than the other it always happens .. i am running the same set up as you and i have to run one reciever on and the other off in the back or min does it too.. but i just have not had the time to fix yet just hooked it up the other day .. but it is too cold here for me to ground out yet ..

[tomcat01]

also remeber the switches that come with these fta boxes are 5 dollar switches .. last time i went and got one it cost me 30 bucks but i had no problems then but a multiswitch is what i suggest ..if you want you can check your ports

[monoxid]

Just a stupid question.
Did you try switching your receivers to see if the problem followed or remain at the same place?

[tomcat01]

the switches are in the same spot and we move it all including the recievers and the same one will push more voltage to the lnb >> but sometimes there are ones that work but i find more don"t than do test it out and see sometimes it is better to test if you find a way that works post back here and give your results always help people here >> thanks i am going to bed bud good luck

I have a question for you.Ok you have 2 stbs hooked up 2 1 dish 4 dik and 1 4 hev correct?And I presume you are running dik and hev? If so both of your dishs must be grounded or 1 will favor thee other.But wait if you r running 2 units 4 both providers and there both independently or link grounded with 10' deep copper 1/2" rods is one of you stbs connected to a pc? If you have an stb hooked to a pc with the above desription then you will have to install an inline load controller to equalize the units so that they dont favor one another so that they r are equal, make any sense its just electronics, sometimes this goes beyond the average joe is willing to go,I have personally battled this very same issue and knocked it dead in the methods above.

Basically, it is locked into port one only. I have the same problem. My system is grounded, but not the Dish's. So much for the Pro installation. Check the signal levels on the receivers and you might try a signal amplifier on the weaker one. That solved my problem until I get a good ground in the Spring.
