Why is my Satellite TV not working?

Verify the main coax cable from the antenna is connected to the “Satellite In” port on the back of the receiver.
Verify all coax cables are properly terminated and that there are no loose connections.
Check to see if the southern sky is clear. Trees, buildings, large signs or an overpass can block the signal.
Rain, snow, or excessive dew on the dome can interrupt the signal.
- Brush any snow or dew off of the dome.
- If heavy rain or snowfall is blocking the signal, it may be necessary to wait until the weather clears.
Verify the switch settings are set correctly for the desired provider.
- DIRECTV users should verify the antenna type is set to either 3 LNB “18 X 20” or 2 LNB oval.
- DISH/Bell users should verify the “Check Switch” installed in the receiver;
- DISH users should verify this to be SW64, and Bell users should verify this to be SW42.
- Note: a new receiver will initially have an “Unknown Check Switch”, but the antenna will still perform a search; however, it will not toggle to alternate satellites.
