The sound you hear is the TV!!!!!! Thanks to all on this forum who gave me suggestions, support, and your expertise. Turns out it WAS the LNB...the widow of the guy that installed it had some "extra" old LNBs in a box and gave me a couple to try. That combined with the signal meter that came in the mail today allowed me to tune the dish and, low and behold, I now have DISH TV...
Now I won't get anything done around the cabin....
You folks are great...thanks again.
