Can't get satellite in 1 room

gabbo is coming · 28-09-2021 8:23pm #1

Hi I've a rock solid Octo LNB

However, it feeds one room to a splitter coax / satellite socket

sw710us is the code of the socket

All of a sudden, the satellite stopped working but the coax saorvuew is fine

Satellite works fine in all the other rooms.

Could it be the splitter box, or could one port? Of the LNB stop working?

Thanks

Could be the output on the LNB, they can fail individually,

Could be the cable, satellite feed frequency is higher than Saorview, damaged or water ingress could cause a fault.

Could be as simple as the connectors at the ends of the cable.

Is the satellite receiver working ok?

Hi

Yep, box OK

Changed cable

Saorview coming thru satellite connector.

It's either the individual LNB (didn't know they can fail individually) or the connector on the socket....

Unfortunately think it's the former

Thanks

Can you do a test on another output?

Have you any spare outputs if that one has failed?

Just bought another diplec plate

Must be the individual lnb

Have spare ports but it's on the chimney

Have you tried a different box /tv on the faulty outlet just to confirm it's not the box itself?

gabbo is coming · 03-10-2021 9:57am

Yep, did that Friday too

The previous decoder I had there stopped working just dead. Ariva 153

It could have been lightning or some power surge

O just thought such an event would.impact one of thr other 3 tvs

I had a similar issue with a diplexer - Saorview came through OK, but no sat - turned out it was bad connections on the diplexer. As I recall, the centre core was connected, but the braid was not.

Hi, what does that mean though, how would the braid be connected? By no means au fait with this stuff

I'm assuming it's not the wallplate as it was working previously and wasn't interfered with?
