Unhappy SV4000 "No Signal"

My receiver was working great until yesterday night. At one point it went from "Please wait for update" to "No Signal". I did couple power turn on/off and even with the switch in the back. Currently all the satellites are showing no signal. Did my SV4000 just die? Any diagnostic help? Thanks.

Re: SV4000 "No Signal"

if settings are correct try checking cables. Are you using any switches? if so run it direct and see if u can pull in S/Q

Re: SV4000 "No Signal"

I did a factory reset and uploaded the default bin. I think that has messed up things further. I still don't see signal. I am trying moving the dish as well.

After factory reset, one of the dish settings items went missing, don't remember which.

Re: SV4000 "No Signal"

Have you unhooked your STB lately and hooked it back up. Are you sure you didn't get the cables crossed on the back. The cable from the LNB goes in the 18v input, and other cable from STB out to TV. I know a lot of members that do this and loose all signal. Look and make sure...

Re: SV4000 "No Signal"

are the lnbs faulty?? If you tried everything you can think of maybe the lnb messed up somehow. My first time helping a buddy install his dish the lnb was bad and we were trying to look for signal for like 2 hrs
