I actually moved the dish around trying to find signal. I made the markings before I moved it the first time just so I knew where the original coordinates were and could start back at that point each time I tried something different to regain signal.

Yes, I did also try an old oval Dish 1000.2 dish with a 3 LNB setup. I tried that dish, with the measurements corrected to match what's needed to hit the Bell satellites, found nothing. I put the 3 LNB setup on the round Bell dish and tried that, still nothing. I could never find any...

I've tried directly connecting to all four LNBs, both the new and old, with no luck. I've tried this multiple times with all three switches, both sets of LNBs, and with a direct connection to a single LNB. I've moved it a bit, mostly when I was trying to find something with the single LNB...

It does not appear to me that the receiver is recognizing the switch or LNBs. Here's the screens I'm looking at.

Okay, I think I did the voltage testing right, and everything seems to check out. I don't have a small TV I can take outside to test with. I also swapped the cables from the Bell dish with my DirecTV dish, just for another check. Same result, DirecTV still worked fine with Bell cable and Bell...

Yes, the new ones are the same legacy LNBs as I had before. How do I check the power supply on the receiver? (Sorry, my skills are limited)

I don't think the cable is the problem. When I reconnected it to the dish and it didn't work, I swapped it with the one connected to my OTA antenna. The antenna still worked fine, and I still had nothing from the dish.

The cable. I had to dig where it was buried.

Sorry to put this here, but I've had this problem posted in the Canadian satellite forum for a month with no help. I'm working with with the Bell equivalent of a 211k receiver (a 6131) on a Dish 500 with the two dual output LNBs. I had to disconnect the cable from the dish to move it out of the...

Update: I've now tried 2 new LNBs and still am getting nothing. When I run a check switch, it won't even recognize a switch being present. Am I missing a step somewhere? Is it even possible to try and get a signal if the check switch test keeps coming back as not recognizing a switch connected...

A few months ago I had to disconnect my cable from the dish and pull it out of the way when I had some trench work done in my yard. Everything was working fine before that. When I reconnected it after about a week, I had no signal. I swapped cables with my other satellite, and it worked fine, so...

For the month or two, every time I tune to an OTA channel on the AM21 for the first time in a given day, I get the signal loss error. Almost always, my signal is fine straight to the TV. I'll reset the AM21 by unplugging the USB from my main receiver (HR22), waiting a few seconds, then plugging...

I had my receiver, a 6131 model, unplugged for a few weeks while I was playing around with some other stuff around my TV and needed the outlet. When I plugged it back in, I got this error message about a smart card not being authorized, but I've never had a card in this receiver, and from my...

This is the setup that I have now. I was hoping to improve on it by adding another market, but I guess that's not possible at this time.

That's what I figured. Thanks for the confirmation.
