Hello,
I recently installed an HD dish for a customer and it ocasionally cuts out for a few minutes every day or two. I have installed several of these in the past and have had no problems until this one.

The dish has a clear line of sight and signal strenths on all transponders are all in the 90's, so its tuned in well. He has two receives (1 Sony HD and 1 Sony regular) and when it cuts out they both cut out together.

Symptoms are this:
I already tried changing the Voltage Switch unit on the dish and it did not help.

When it does cut out, it appears that half the transponers are still in the 90's and the other half are at 0 (Unlocked) and some actually swing back and forth from 0 to 90. I usually lasts for 5 to ten minutes and then it just goes back to normal.

I have not yet tried changing the LNB's

I can not find any cabling problems (not to say that none exist).

Any ideas on what can cause or not cause this kind of symptom?

I appreciate any help you can offer.
