Dish 500 help

[BIGJOHNC]

I have a dish 500 with a dish pro digital LNBF. I have 3 receivers 1, HD receiver and 2 DishDVRs. Everything works fine on the HD receiver but I cannot get local channels on the 2 DVRs. The error code screen is 002 indicating something is blocking the signal or bad weather, neither are the case. It's been this way for 2 months. Is this an LNB problem? Should I replace it?

A better and more clearer idea of what type of switch/LNB configuration, would greatly help. Try running a checkswitch and report what you see on that.

If you could give us a little more info, it would be helpful.
1: Model number of all your receivers.
2: Model of any installed multi-switch, if you know.

your problem could be anything from lnb ports dead, ground block bad, bad coax, bad receivers, connectors, ect.
Since you are saying that you are missing the locals on both of the dvr's i'd almost certainly rule out the cabling and connectors... and probably the receivers also.
I'd first guess switching on one side of the quad lnb has died.
