[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 883984, member: 369937"] OK, if you have replaced [U][B]ALL[/B][/U] the coax, tried a second receiver, bypassed the motor and swapped out the LNB, the the only thing it could be is something inline with the coax. Do you have a ground block? or lighting gas discharge device? and did you reuse it? And how are you bringing the coax inside the house, through an existing wall jack? or existing pre-installed house coax? Was there a section of coax that you could not replace? As this sounds like a short somewhere in the system, disconnect all coax connections and use an ohm meter, see if you get anything below 1000 ohms, (it should read as high as 1 to 10 meg ohms with everything disconnected) if you get anything below that you may have a resistive short in the coax somewhere.
