Hi there ISmi, my name is Kimberly and I form part of the Social Media Department with DISH, it my pleasure to help you. Signal acquisition/loss can be caused Caused by poor weather, damaged cable, misaligned dish, malfunctioning equipment, or major changes in your home such as new roof, new carpeting, etc. If the issue is only occurring with one receiver, unplug the receiver from the electrical outlet for 10 seconds, plug it back in, and see if it begin to acquire signal. Check for anything obstructing the signal to your satellite dish such as tree branches, severe rain, or snow build-up and check that the wiring between your DISH receiver and your wall outlet is configured properly and tightly secured. If issue persists please let me know at: [email protected]
