Hi All
Have got myself a slight problem and could do with some insight.
My dish set up is a 1.2mt fitted with a C120 0.3 invacom, and feedhorb that is made up of a 120 flange welded to a 22mm tube that is fitted with a plastic cap into which a number of holes have been drilled. On Thursday we had a full day of heavy rain, and in the evening I lost all the horizontial signals, the vertical were OK. Today got round to going down garden to check dish and LNB and discovered water had run down feedhorn into LNB, removed same stripped off feedhorn and cleared water from LNB and dried them out. Replaced same and made new joint on cable to be safe. Switch on no horizontal full signal on vertical, after about half an hour the vertical signal slowly faded away. Switched of reciver to have lunch and when I returned same thing again but this time only about 10 minutes of full signal befor fade out.
Has anyone out there had this happen to them, I suspect its the LNB but wanted to check in case its a problem with the reciver (Echostar 2210).
Thanks loftyj.
