Receiver problems

One of my receivers is apparently not receiving the signal properly. The others are just fine.

Started off a week or so ago I noticed the periodically I'd lose the signal and it would take hours to re-acquire the signal, even after my re-setting of the unit, turning it off, etc. It eventually did re-acquire the signal and I wouldn't think much of it. But today it didn't re-acquire the signal at all.

After trouble shooting with the phone technician support line, the conclusion is that there is a problem with the signal being received into the unit and now I have to have a service charge for someone to look at it.

Anyone else ever have a similar issue - and what was the final result of all of it? Hopefully up top its just a wire loose and that solves the issue.

 

Well I re did all of the wires from the wall into the unit and they are all fine. I checked the connection outside and no indications of problems. But I am not going two stories to a banked roof to follow the wires anymore. Dish is coming out to fix it and I'll let them deal with it.

You are onto something about switching the two receivers and see what happens. That I just might try.....Thanks
