Hi, I am sorry that you are having a problem with your satellite signal. Have you tried to reset the receiver by unplugging it for 10 seconds and allowing it to reboot. If this does not resolve the issue, please try and run a check switch test, Menu, 6-1-1 and then select "Check Switch", and then "Test". Please tell me if you get an error message or if not, what satellite orbital appear on the matrix screen. If you could please email directly with the results, I will assist your further if needed. Thank you!
