That may be signs the 8psk is on its way out

I think I have figured out the issue with the loss of signal on the 82w sat, after loosing the signal on both sats I decided to climb the ladder to the dish. Everything was tight still, I wiggled the coax coming from the dish into the switch and low and behold the signal came back. I let it go and lost the signal again. I examined the 2 coax wires coming out from the lnb's to the switch and saw 1 of them had a split in the plastic casing and the ground was making contact with the arm that holds the 2 lnb's . I am thinking it was grounding out on the metal and shorting out. I switched up both coax wires and replaced the switch as well just as a pre caution and all is well again. Luckily I didn't fry the receiver when it was grounding out against the frame!!!

If the coax had a split and the shield was touching the arm of the LNB holder then it should not have made a difference, but the split in the coax insulation may have let water into the coax, this...
