Problem with LNB?

I have a quad LNB system one feed going to each of 3 TV's and the 4th to a DVR. 3 out of the 4 feeds seem to be working fine. However one of the feeds seems to only be receiving 1/2 of the transponders thta the other receivers are picking up. I checked the receiver out on a different feed and it works perfectly. I checked the line from the basement up to the TV in question with a 75 ohm load and an ohm meter, the coax seems to be fine. Is there an easy way to check out the LNB?

On a second note, is the receiver supposed to pick up all the transponders?

Steve

Steve,

Yes the receivers should pick up all the transponders. The easiest way to trouble shoot this is to switch the LNB's on the dish. This would troubleshoot the LNB and Cable all at the same time. If the LNB Transfers the signal when switched then you know it is in the cable and Visa Versa. If you have a switch you can move the coxail cables there or move the cables at the LNBs as well.
