I have a 2004 DSDP with a winegard switcher box up in the cabinet which controls all the functions from DVD to TV1 to TV2 etc. It has cable,VCR, antennae buttons etc. I'm finding the button you push for cable is starting to cause some distortion of my TV picture and I have to push it in and play around with it until it gives me a clear picture. I think it may be a contact problem.

Does anyone know where I can buy a new switcher box? If this unit quits working,how do I operate anything?

If you have issues with finding a replacement (They can be hard to find) and the box has an "AUX" button check to see if there is a cable hooked to the AUX input on the back.. No cable? Good, move the park cable cable to AUX, now you have a nice, new, never been used, switch.

Winegard has discontinued making this box.......since everything in the TV world is going to HDMI connections...you might find one on a shelf somewhere but it will be a long search.........It might be wise to open it up and clean the affected contact with contact cleaner......
