Diseqc failed

[Brucey89]

Having problems again with no signal on certain channels. Tested with the diseqc plugin and 3 are failing each time. What do i need to do to solve this. What parts etc do i need. Thanks

You simply check your satellite cable
Replace your l.n.b

I had a DISEQC switch fail on me few months back. Had to detach it from my setup. Used a different switch and all was fine again. If they're anything like cable splitters it'll be working again after a few weeks out of service.

DISEQC switches can be temperamental
I always connect the transponder with the
Weakest signal to port A I have three 4×1
switches fitted Always use tacomate

I never thought of that. I suppose A is the default port so would likely get more power. When mine went funny it was just two of the four ports. Which, with the other two still working deceives you into thinking the fault is elsewhere.

Port A always remains active
The other ports usually fault

Redone cable and all was ok again
