I had a lightning storm couple days ago reciever was working fine till then lost power now it won't get a signal at all. The reciever in my bedroom is working fine but its the one in the living room that's not working. What could be causing this

call dtv tech support and do some troubleshooting

Try swapping the two Receivers. If the problem follows the "bad" Receiver, then it's defective. If the problem stays in the "bad" Receiver's room, then something happened to the satellite feed from the dish into that room. Let us know what you find.

Tried switching out recievers still no signal in living room

Try a 30 minute unplug. That worked for me when I lost signal after a bad storm. Directv support was unable to resolve this issue after trying all the troubleshooting steps and decided my box or tuner was bad. Good luck.

See my post on this issue here:

Sounds like a bad multi-switch (or LNB assembly) if the problem doesn't follow the receiver.

How many cables come in from the dish?

Try a 30 minute unplug.

Resetting the receiver probably isn't going to help if the receiver works fine in the another location.

Are the wires coming direct from the dish or somehow split through a splitter or multiswitch?

Swap the ports between the living room and bedroom if possible and see if the problem can be isolated to a port. Maybe you have another port available if a WB68?

I'm not willing to assume that this is an HD installation (WB68 or SWiM) given that the post is in an SD sub-forum. I'm sure there's lots of old school one and three slot installations out there.

Perhaps the OP could clarify, but the point is the same: we need to understand the switchgear situation.

Got it thanks. I misread that the problem didn't follow the receiver.
