Ok, I have a problem with my system, so bear with me and hopefully I can explain all the details enough:
I have a 722 that is failing to acquire any signal from any lnb or sat whatsoever as of yesterday sometime while I was at work. I came home to no channels and no signal in the dish install screen. My setup is the same as when it was hooked up and I havn't changed a thing. I have a 1000 dish with a DishPro twin for 110, 119, and a dishpro 129 single. I believe it is a 1000.2 but not sure. I can only access the menu system, no guide or other options. DVR still works. Checked switches and it takes forever to complete and when it does all it says is that I no longer have the same satellites or setup and do I want to Cancel or save. I cancelled because I havn't changed a thing. I can't be sure if the switch is good or bad. I bypassed the seperator and tried each channel. Nothing. I reset with holding in the power button 5 sec. same thing, it reboots and comes on, then appears to shut off for a some seconds, then comes on with tuner and mode lights and I continue to get acquiring satellite screen on the transponder. It fails to see anything. I did a hard reboot by unplugging all night, today fired it up after hours of sitting with no power, same thing. I figured maybe my cable was going bad so ran another direct line to satellite from reciever of satcoax and same thing, no change. I have had this reciever for quite a while and no problems or signs such as this. I will be getting my birddog out tonight to verify by lnbs are picking up signals and it isn't the switch, but I find that them failing is highly unlikely as I've never had that happen with an LNB, EVER! Ichecked my sat level, az, skew, and elevation and all are how they should be and aimed right. No blockage, no angle change, nothing. Anyone else have a similar issue like this before and if so I would love to hear any ideas. Thanks
