A guy called me, no signal on Astra 2D, but working on all other sats/channels (2D is low signal here). I went there, plugged in the meter and there was plenty of signal for 2D reception up to the box, so I changed the box (from a Pace 430N to a Pace 430N). Anyway the same fault has developed on the second box over a couple of days so today I went back again and the new box has "gone deaf". There's well over 9dB carrier to noise at the receiver end of the cable on 2D and a third box seems to work fine. What could be damaging these receivers? I've got a few ideas but I'd like some input before posting them so I don't taint anyone's vision. Thanks for any input.
P.S. I've posted here rather than in the 28E section as this seems more likely to be a general technical fault, not a 28E peculiarity.
