Hi, I am sorry that you do not have a satellite signal. If you have tried to unplug the receiver from the power for 10 seconds and it still connect find a signal, I will need to do some additional troubleshooting with you. Has anything changed from the time the system was working till now? Do you have a clear line of sight from the dish to the southern sky? Please Pm me the account or phone number and I will assist you further. Thank you!
