No signal from the Dish

[saea501]

First my local HDs went out, then all HD, then all channels. I now have nothing, no signal strength at the receiver yet when I connect a peaking meter at the Dish I have good signal strength. When I move the Dish of course the strength varies as I would expect. I ran a new RG from the Dish to the receiver, same result, no signal at the receiver. With the peaking meter in line and showing good strength I can block any or all of the LNBs and the meter pegs to the max, which seems weird. Seems it should go to near zero.

Dish is coming on Tuesday but I have always installed and maintained this myself for the past 17 years. I guess I think I should be able to correct this.

Any thoughts?

What Arc ? And what's your setup?

Western.

Not sure what you mean by 'what's my set up'. Dish to the receiver.....pretty straight forward.

My WAG: your LNB/switch went bad. I think Troch was trying to get you to say 1000.2. Do you have any other receivers, even unactivated ones, that you could try instead of the one that has zero signal strength?

Well it's helpful to know if you have a Hopper , or VIP equipment.
Because there are other things to troubleshoot like nodes.

So my setup would be for example,
"I am on Eastern arc, Using a 1000.4 , I have two hopper 2s and 2 Joeys plus a 211z."
That would right off the bat tell me and everyone else that obviously a duo node ,possibly a tap and /or Splitter and most likely a DPP44 are in the setup.

If could be a alignment issue or a bad power supply in the receiver
