If a customer of mine is having problems with
even channels I first check all outdoor connections.
Even transponders use 18 volts and are more susceptible
the corrosion caused by water ingress to the connectors.
When the receiver reboots most have to look at
channel 100 which is 18 volts so that it can download
guide data.
When you have problems is the problem that the
signal is low or is it gone entirely?
If it is gone entirely and you have good signals
on 13 volt odd transopnders, then it is a hardware
issue, such as connectors, multiswitch, etc..
If instead it is low then you maybe right about
the tree issue.
You hit the nail on the head Dave - the even transponders show ZERO on the meter,with the odds hitting high 80's/low 90's during these 'evnts'- our 'normal' signal strength on the evens is usually MID 90's..and we have hit 100 on occasion!
Thanks greatly for the advice....
