I am a constant lurker but I had to log in for an issue that I am having.....don't worry I won't ask for codes!!!!! I have pansat 2700 and I have no signal. I realize that DN is down but usually I get a wait for picture message. I tried scanning for 8.6 but nothing was found.....I figured you smart folks might be able to give a technotard a hand. Thanks in advance.
A friend of a friend sells the receiver and comes to the house and hooks it up. I had subscribed to DN last year so I already had the dish. This guy is a real jackass. Whenever the keys would change he would charge each house (there are six on my blockalone!) $20 to change the keys but he won't let you see how he changed them. I figured that it couldn't be that difficult so I did some research and ended up here a few months ago. It was so simple when all I needed was the keys but this no signal thing has really messed me up. I'll be more than happy to search for the info myself but I'm not sure where to begin. any dss for dummies sites?
I live in the northeast and there has been major flooding and two huge thunderstorms overnight. Should I check the actual dish? Thanks for all of the help guys.
Yes there is a chance that the weather affected your dish or the connections. If your dish moved, you would probably need a satellite finder to realign it. Check your connections first. Maybe loose or disconnected cable.
is there a chance the guy who installed it is bitter, you are changing your own keys and moved your dish or something along those lines, $20 to change keys that would be a hard job to give up.
I need to thank you all again....I played around with my connections and it seems that everything is fixed. It was that little hookup way under the entertainment center. Danke!!!!!
