If you have a crimper and wire cutter, try replacing the coaxil connector heads. I recently added a receiver for someone and could not get a signal until I did this.

Also, try switching the cables at the LNB and see if that does anything. I would also disconnect everycable and then reconnect them. This means from the dish, the receivers, and any other spots where the cables are cut.

A good way to test the LNB is to get a small TV (if you have one) and your receiver and hook them up close enough to the dish so that you can run a new coaxil cable straight from the dish, through a door or window and to the reciever. I had some problems last summer when I moved my dish and I just took the tv and receiver outside so that I only needed a 25 foot wire. An rg59 wire (standard cable tv wire) will do for this purpose if you do not have any RG6 (standard satellite wire) lying around.


One last thing, try unplugging the receivers and letting them sit a few minutes and then plug them back in.
