The sound you hear is the TV!!!!!! :popcorn Thanks to all on this forum who gave me suggestions, support, and your expertise. Turns out it WAS the LNB...the widow of the guy that installed it had some "extra" old LNBs in a box and gave me a couple to try. That combined with the signal meter that...

Thanks...I have ordered the new LMB's...hopefully that will fix the problem...tired of watching movies...ready for some "prime time" TV.

No splitters or visable damage.

O.K. guys and gals...I have so far done the following. I took everything apart...took the two cables attached to the two lmbs off and attached the cable from the 301 to one of the lmbs...(they are marked 110 and 119 on the plastic case) Not sure which one I attached the cable to but from what...

Thanks...I will try with neither checked.

Every year I bring a DP301 receiver from home to my cabin in Colorado where I have a dish mounted...twin (not sure what it is but the check switch says 500 twin). Every year it fires up with no problems after, of course, I do a test switch...since it's on a different setup at home in Texas...
