We turn off all power (both batteries) when we put her away, so I assume we have rebooted. I will open and clean all connections with spray cleaner. Also I will next week open up and inspect that "search switch". No unusual temperature. Thanks for your reply.

I have a Winegard RT4000S satellite dish that automatically finds the satellite. Until two months ago I operated it like this: Turn on the search switch, then when a good signal was received turn the switch off. The antenna would be pointed in the right direction, and we would proceed to watch. Then one day things changed. Now when I turn off the switch (viewing a good signal on the signal meter) the antenna stops, but then also the signal disappears. Happens every time. I have opened the dome and found nothing. Strong signal until terminated. Connections are good. Has anyone else experienced this? Johnmig
