Ok first of all Im not trying to do anyting illegal, I had 5 diferents Direct TV tech in my house to repair a dead sat signal in one of four rooms....they will repair the line and after a week or heavy rain the sat box will come up with "searching for sat signal..." message. I got tired of calling and waiting and took it upon myself....plus the warranty is out by now..:( I found the the LNB is where the signal dies...now this a 3 "element" (???) LNB and I get the hispanic channels package and the standard ones, just in case this makes a difference....
My first question, if one element is bad and there is 4 connections coming out of the antenna going to 4 TV's and only 3 elements, how can one output go out affecting only one TV???
second question, If I get a hold of another LNB should this fix the problem??? IS there a special code thats inscripted on the LNB before it connects to the sat, (as in security reasons or legality reasons...)? The problem was in the antenna the whole time and the techs were lost ,or I guess they didnt feel like climbing on my hot attic....:)
