I live in the north, in a fly-in only, isolated community. About 2-3 weeks ago I lost about half of my Bell channels. Thinking it was the weather at the time, I just let it go. I ran checkswitch a few times, getting the following error : "missing port 1b 91 even". Well, the last few days we haven't had a cloud in the sky. I risked my life getting up on the snow- and ice-covered roof. Thinking it was the lnb, I swapped it out for a new one. Ran checkswitch - same issue. I changed the cable - same issue. I have a second dish 6 ft higher (share it with my neighbour as I live in a duplex). That has not lost the signal at all. There are no obstructions for my lower dish. Seeing as my neighbour shares the higher dish, I can only run one cable from it, so it still does not solve the problem with my 9242 as I need two feeds. The only resolution I can think of is to install a new dish. I really don't want to as the normal windchill in this area is about -35 degrees.
