[QUOTE="sean gallagher, post: 863543, member: 401578"] You're not going to believe this one. After racking my brain for hours on this, I decided to move the satellite receivers around again. Rather than just move the boxes this time, I decided to move the power supplies as well to eliminate any issues there. Lo and behold!! During a very recent room make-over, my wife had connected the Skybox in our room using the power adapter for my portable hard drive, not the adapter for the Skybox. An easy mistake, as the end plugs are the same. The voltage or power output was insufficient to drive the LNB completely. When I connect the correct adapter now, all works fine, even when all 3 Skyboxes are on simultaneously. So, this was indeed a power or voltage issue, just not one I had never anticipated. :-bighappy [/QUOTE]
