This is my first post and hopefully one that someone could help me out with. I am running a DG7000 with two seperate dish's (direct tv dual lnb's) with amps to help with my signal. I also am running with no problems from the same lnb's a VS 2000 P with amps aswell. I have since moved my DG receiver from one location to another only to have the signal disappear??? I have not touched my dish's in any way just moved my receiver? I have tried every file possible even back to the factory default (no go). Here is the strange part...I hooked up my DG lines to the VS and I cannot get a signal. What the heck am I doing wrong (I've done this many times) with no problem :( . Would someone have an idea of what is going wrong.

Thanks

did you power off the stb's before unhooking cable ?and did you hook up the origianl to where it worked last to see if it still works there ?

Thanks for the reply Skunker. Yes I always turn off the STB before diconnecting or reconnecting the cable. I did try the old spot and it is still a no go? Maybe I am missing something, an oversite of some sort?

Thanks

try loosing the amp's ??
i don't have either stb so....... im just trying to eliminate what i see as logical
did you read the FTA testing manual ?

Thanks will do, I am also checking my switch to see if I fried it??

Tried Skunker's suggestions but still a no go, I've tried everything!!! I went as far as disconnecting the cables from the lnb's and rehookinging them?? Has anyone seen this before??

where did you move the DG ? same dwelling ? and also you said you hooked up your viewsat to the dg line and no signal ? did you try hooking up the dg to the viewsat line ? from what your saying sounds like a 1.bad switch 2.bad connection somewhere or 3. interference somewhere near where your dg was hooked up

I moved it from the basement rec room to the main floor living room, I tried reconnecting one more time tonight and I am getting a very weak signal on certain transponders, nothing coming in on 110 even with a signal amp? What kind of interference are you speaking about. I also switched up my switch prior to this and then back with the same results. I tried looking through the forums for similar problems but I came up empty handed. Any help appreciated.

well the cable / stb worked before moving your stb rite ?
and now it doesen't ???i was thinking interference meaning that i have
read that microwaves and florecent light screws around with the box in some way, i've been looking for that post but have been unable to find it.
what i suggest is trying to use a dtv or dn ird to look for signal on 110/119
it sounds to me either satellite settings are messed up or dish moved just enough or you have a bad connection that is corroded

Well I finally figured out what my problem was!!! I was using screw on F connectors with no middle cores (the little inner tube within the F connector. As soon as I changed over to a crimp style F connector whamo I had a great picture and signal better than ever. Thanks Skunker for your help, hope this helps other people out.
