VABills Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 How much for a new receiver? 791053[/snapback] Run to best buy, you can probably pick up a non hd, non-dvr for under $50. Should take about 10 minutes to hav it programed. Might be cheaper than a bar, with food, beer, etc.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fan in San Diego Posted October 1, 2006 Share Posted October 1, 2006 Try repositioning the dish. It must have been moved somehow. In the maint. menus you get a signal meter and move the dish to pick up the signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PS RkFasts mother in law is here anyway..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
