Hello,
This is the first time I've posted anything ever. I currently live in Wa & purchased a 7.5' dish in 1993. I upgraded to a GI 920 several years ago. After some careful adjustments I got it to receive basically all digital channels crisp & clear. For years never a problem. 2 weeks ago I suddenly lost all my digital signals while watching a movie including the in the clear digital channels, but still can receive the analog channels. At first, the picture looks as though water is running down the screen, then it begins to tile, followed by noisy snow, (picture only), then complete black screen then repeats the process. The sound is not affected & the signal quality remains in the 90's during the whole process. I replaced the LNB but all is the same. The dish is still in excellent condition. I also checked connections & cable, unplugged the rceiver for an hour after I went to G1-3. I'm afraid it might be the receiver. Is there a diagnostic test I can perform? Would it be worth purchasing another receiver? I heard the big dish is going away soon & the 4dtv is no longer being manufactured. I momentarily considered the small dish but not quite ready for the higher price subscriptions & lack of custom programming & rain faid we get here quite often. Any help to steer me in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks.
