Lightning Strike

[ChrisK114]

This weekend I had lightning strike about 20 fet from my house. I lost my Directv signal. I have a slimline dish with a 6X16 multiswitch. The switch is inside my structured wiring box. The green light is off on the switch so I am assuming the box got fried by the strike. Is there anything else it could be? This happened Sat night and the soonest D* can send anyone out is this Saturday. I was just wondering if there is something simple that I could check. Thanks. I have checked the plug and that is okay.

If the green light is out, either the switch is blown or the power source.

Find out where it is plugged in at and see if its damaged/un-plugged/on a gfci circuit/on a blown breaker. Also if you have an older Multiswitch (6x8) you could use that temporary till a replacement can be delivered. Also double check with Customer Support and make sure they note on "tech instructions" to bring a replacement 6x16 as its not normal in truck stock.
