Question DISEqC SW-41 Fried?

Please help ... I have not been able to get anything but Galaxy @91 (Bev). Have a multi-dish with 4 Ku band and was getting 91, 110, 119, and 129 with a DISEqC SW-41. But now all that comes up on Sonicview 360P is the 91. Is my switch burnt up? I hate to climb on roof if not necessary (high/steep).

No way to know for sure without dealing with the switch.Try a hard boot and see if that helps.Try turning off lnb power on the other sats but 1 on a different port then 91 and if you get sat lock.

Do you have any S&Q % on any other sat's ? If you have no Signal messages showing good chance your switch is fried or you have a bad connection somewhere.

Cool

I tried to turn off several LNBs as each sat was listed. Turned off DISEQc/change port, but all was for not. The Nimiq1/3 @91 keeps showing for each different Sat (Dir***tV, Echostar). Tried hard boot, no change. Reset to Factory didn't help either.
I guess I got to climb up on roof, and put in new switch.
Also, I have Signal on several other sats but no quality.
Thanks for your help, though, unless one of you want to climb the ladder? (LOL)

No Quality is not a good sign, most likely a switch gone bad.
