I posted this a few days ago in the Dish Forum, but I seemed to have stumped the experts there, so I'm posting here hoping my luck turns...
I recently installed Dish 6000 +8VSB. I've noticed that after watching TV for about 1-2 hours, I lose signal on Transponder 1 on both 119 and 110. Signal strength in 119 is 100-110, 110 is ~60-80 (on transponder 1 when I get the signal). Turning the set off, unplugging, reinitializing, etc has had no effect. If I leave the set off for a few hours, the transponder signal are locked again. I've checked the cable and ground (in fact I ran a new cable using Belden 1694). The Dish itself is not grounded. The cable is grounded at point of entry. The switch tests ok (even after I've lost the signal). Dish tech was no help. My installer says that he would cover if it was an installation problem, but would charge for the visit if it was a system problem. His solution is to replace components 1 at a time and see if it helps.
I'd appreciate any ideas that the experts here may have in helping me trouble shoot this problem.
Thanks,
Byas
