[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 884375, member: 369937"] Ehhh... You must have a short or staple/nail in the system somewhere, you could even have a shard of coax shielding wire stuck up inside the connector of the LNB or switch if you use one. Also look at the outdoor connections, look for any sign of rust. And you did say you don't have a ground block in the system, this could be a problem, the system may need a ground, I put them right before where the coax enters the wall, then drive a ground rod right there. (or run it to a metal cold water pipe) The funny part is that it does it on a new LNB, new coax, and with other receivers, works for a bit then quits, if the dish has been tweaked, and all other things have been tried then you have gremlins in the system.
