    frustrated with Dish & FTAs not working for 3 months

    first I thought it was Limesat being defective (giving bad or no signal after every restart). I ordered Dreamlink SD (which worked for few days that made me happy and ordered) Openbox S10 and DreamLink HD. Openbox came first, I hooked up. That worked for few days alongwith Dreamlink SD and than I start getting pixelation on Openbox (specially on Sat 119, English channels) and choppiness. I'm SO FRUSTRATED NOW!!! Now I get that on International channels too. Not only on Openbox, but Dreamlink SD and Dreamlink HD.
    So I've DishPlus with triplexer originally (but I've connect coax coming - straight to each FTA receivers respectively)







    I'm ready to replace the LNBs and insert switch(es) if needed but I don't want to replace the dish (if possible) and coax cable running... I've also read Dish, LNBs, equipment manuals from this forum but I'm brain dead now with all this!!!

    I've tried using Power Inserter atleast with Dreamlink HD downstairs but it didn't help!! Also tried triplexer to 4x1 switch (from Sat 1 and 2 of triplexer to switch In and out to FTA) even that didn't help!!


    PLEASE HELP ME!!! I'm very, very frustrated :'(

    Have you tried running a new cable directly from your 119 LNB to the Limesat Receiver ------Then entering your Pay Server service codes to see if you can get that receiver only working.

    You have purchased service from a Pay Server Service.? ------If not you will get channel 101 on the 119 Sat.

    A power inserter is an option also. Just not enought current from the STB to run these. EBay is a good place to look.
