Sat 101 dies during the afternoon
I live 30 miles East of St. Louis. Ever since we had the bad weather move threw last week our DTV has been losing channels. When I go into the setup page, At least half of Sat 101 transponders will be at 0 signal strength for 10 seconds then 80 for 1 second then back to 0 for another 10 seconds. The other transponders seem to be OK. It seems to be mostly the even ones that are at 0?? Sat 110's 3 transponder or OK and sat 119's 11 transponder or OK. It is now 11:30 PM and all is OK with the system but tomorrow when it starts to get hot out, We will start losing sat 101 until the sun goes down.It doesn't make since to me why half of the transponders work and the other half don't if it was an electronics problem whith the heat? This is a 3 phase dish with the built in muti-switch. I called dtv but all they want to do is send out a tech and they cant get here till the 16th. Any ideas before I go out and buy a new LNB?? I also covered up 110 and 119 with foil to see how 101 would act. It made no difference. I was able to get a list of channels that go along with the transponders but wont be able to look at it till tomorrow when it starts messing up again. Also my dish is TIGHTLY in place and there are NO trees. THANKS
