Mike,

All you need to do is drop an attenuator into the LNB to rx path ... this
will solve the problem immediately.

I have done this with success in a couple of sites.
If you do nothing, you'll notice audio drop-outs with the too high EbNo.

By the way, make sure the attenuators are DC-PASS!
The LNB will appreciate it as well as your fingers should it be you use
a resistive type attenuator.

I remember seeing traffic here at times about getting an EbNo reading on the
Unity of >14. Having never experienced it myself, I haven't concerned
myself with that traffic too much, except to remember that this may mean an
impending problem.

Now I am experiencing that reading. This is on a receiver that has been in
service since 1999 and has never shown this reading before on two different
dish installations (one hardly ever got higher than 9 and this one has never
reached 13 to my knowledge).

Seems like there were some quick fixes posted here (like a reboot) and also
some info pertaining to different factory runs of these units. Don't
remember how long ago it was last posted, haven't looked in the archives to
see if it's still there, but thought I'd try a post and see if I can cut to
the chase.

Thanks in advance for any help.
