My System: King Dome 13" on RV |
Hello, We have an RV with a 2 year old King Dome 9630. It worked well for a long time but now when we make a trip I can locate the satellite easily but after about 6 hours I lose the signal and no amount of trying will get it back.  Then when we return home I can again easily locate the satellite. It seems that something in the dish might be getting hot. I am absolutely lost and no one seems to be able to offer any suggestions. Help!! | ||

Welcome to the forum rlandram Just remember, some of the terminology is unknown to us as we are predominantly a European forum. So this is some kind of satellite reception unit that is fitted to a kind of motorhome? I would guess you are correct in your assumption of the overheating, is the unit DC powered from the battery or is it running through an inverter? | ||

Thank you for your response. It is powered by 12 Volt DC through either the inverter or the batteries. I called King Dome and the technician thought it could be one port of the LNB but could not be sure. | |||

My System: Skymaster DCI9900 + PC/twinhan combination. 80cm dish. GBPVR with 2 DTTV cards +hauppauge Media MVP | Is it possible to remove the cover? is the LNB recognizable? Looking at the spec it says dual LNB. Are both in use or could you select the other output? | ||

I believe it is a dual input. Would selecting the other input possibly help? Ron | |||
