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.

I've tried to find an area in Michigan that has significantly viewed, but haven't had any luck. I've tried all seven DMA's (Detroit, Lansing, Grand Rapids, Flint/Saginaw, Traverse City/Cadillac, Alpena, and Marquette) with the search tool with no success. Is there a chance I might find one...

That's welcome news about the timeshifting. Do you know if it's for the Canadian and American networks? I'll just have to give them a call and see if they're willing to let me break away. If I do end up cancelling my current account, can I still use my same receiver when I open a new one, and...

I've had service with Bell though a broker for about 4 1/2 years. I would like to get rid of the broker and take over the account myself so I can have more access to the account, and to save some money not having to pay the broker fees. I don't wan to simply cancel and start a new account...

I have my locals from Grand Rapids, MI. There are two SD only ones on 119 (WXSP and WLLA). I've had this setup for almost 3 years now without ever hitting the 119 satellite, so I don't know why that would cause guide problems now. For the heck of it, I tried the switch to a Slimline 3 setup, and...

About a week ago, I started getting the Missing Guide Info pop-up messages and my guide data went to Regular Schedule. I've gotten these messages in the past, they seem to come and go for a couple weeks at a time. This is the first time, though, that it has really messed up my guide data. When I...

I've had service from Bell for almost 3 years now through a broker. I'm thinking of getting away from them and establishing service on my own. I have a friend with a cabin in Ontario whose address I could use. I've had no problems with the broker, I'd just like to try and save some money and...

I have a Bell 6131 receiver with an external hard drive to turn it into a PVR. When I open my recorded shows list today, I saw that everything I recorded before April 12th was gone. I had plenty of room on the hard drive, I haven't touched my setup at all, and to knowledge there hasn't been any...

Forgive me if this has been discussed but I haven't come across it yet. I have an AM21 with an HR22 so I can do the typical primary and secondary markets setup. I used to live in an area where I could receive channels from three different markets, but obviously was only able to integrate two...

Yes, I did tune to those channels when the games were on. The first person I talked to said she tuned in 664-1 where she was to make sure it was actually being shown on there and she said they were getting it there. Since I just get the logo screen and no message about calling such and such a...

These overflow channels for college football games have been hit or miss for me all season. Today (11/12) the guide shows Kentucky @ Vanderbilt on 664 & 664-1, Fox Sports Detroit Plus. However, all I see when I tune to this channel is the DirecTV logo screen. Fox Sports Detroit is my local RSN...
