Had a really strange experience tonight and its been bugging me

Setup: 1.5m gibby - invacom lnb/gibby feedhorn, v box, viark sat 4k

Watching the match tonight and suddenly get a message of 'no signal'

Ok thought my lnb had gone faulty after some investigation, pops on a different lnb 5 mins later bam same thing

Digs through my box of carp and luckily finds another invacom/gibby feedhorn only this time I have bypassed the vbox and everything has been fine (obivously minus no motor)

I have a spare v box to try in the morning, question is could the v box have caused this?

Sat box is a week old so pretty sure its not that, I remember reading somewhere on this forum that a lnb needs 20v to pop really scratching my head at this one

Cable is less than a two years old Webro, been using current setup perfectly fine with a TBS card no problems

Have you another V box you could try? I would also check the lead from the V box to the receiver for an intermittent short circuit.
