Mine has been up about an hour and still no channels other than locals. When the installer first put it up, the signal meter was reading 86. Now when I go into the menu there is no signal. Did I mess something up or does it say there is no signal when it is downloading the data?
How long for Voom to aquire channels after install?

The signal meter for the satellite channel was 86 when the guy was on the roof and I was yelling back to him what the strength is.
THen he activated it, the local channels came on, but now if I go into the menus and check the sat signal strenth, there is nothing listed. Nothing has changed since he left, except I turned the box off once on accident. All of the sat channels say no guide data or whatever.

With a signal of 86, you will get rain fade. The signal should have picked at more than 90+. First thing is to check if there is a cable that is loose. Look at the satellite did it move some how. If none of these are possibilities, I will call the csr and ask them to hit the box.
I will strongly suggest you that to get them back to re-peak that satellite otherwise you will get rain fade. Do you have the 18 or 24 inches dish?

Did you have the 86 before he hooked up the OTA antenna or after?
Your antenna may be shorting out the system.
What antenna do you have?
