whats the likelihood of a Diseqc switch going faulty?
I have 2 boxes connected to 2 x diseqc switches, each switch having 3 x LNBs,
one of my boxes has lost one LNB, I've swapped the LNB feeds over and its still not showing on that box,
I suppose my next stepis to swap over the inputs and see if a different LNB disappears,
so far I've only tried LNB 3 on ports 3 & 4 , no show on either, will try it on ports 1 & 2 tomorrow, both LNBs on those ports are showing as TUNER LOCKED
my 2nd box on the other diseqc shows all 3 LNBs , even with LNB feed swapped across both the diseqc switches the 2nd box picks it up,
OK,
I may be mistaken,
just checked a few more transponders on my 2nd box,
signal levels seemed to have dropped dramatically, they werent brilliant to start with, and quite a few TPs I couldnt get at all,
so , tomorrow, I think its going to be try swapping the LNBs over, see what difference that makes,
its 13e that is messing about, 28 and 19 are both good,
strength 90%
quality 75-80% + on most TPs,
13e was wobbling around 60% quality at best, on one box, the other box, an E2 one simply failed to lock a tuner on it at all.
