This worked before and the switch was declared faulty. New switch, same problem, same temporary solution. But I moved back to FS CG and trees blocking sat views so don't know if it is going to continue working.
So far, no one has come up with WHY is doesn't consistently get 129.
Stay tuned....

That is unusual for a switch like the DPH to go bad. According to my tech as well as others that have gone to the DPH 42 for the Hopper 3, you don't need both cables running to the switch. Also, it makes no difference how you run the other 3 from the switch to the dish itself. I left the second cable from the roof hooked up to the switch to keep it waterproof. Just thought it was an easy fix. Now I do understand that if you use the second Joey, you then need that second cable.
