No signal with dish receiver - Proscan 26LA30Q 26 in. LCD Television

which Dish Receiver do u have. if it is a Dual Tuner (322,625,622, 722) u run a RG6 Coax from the Dish to the back of the Receiver. on back of the receiver there should be two ports (Dish 1,, and Dish2) u will need two short pieces of coax and a Separator ,(which should have come with the Receiver. u hook the coax from the outside Dish to the single port of the Separator , now u run a coax (or RCA or what ever) to the TV. Turn on TV and Receiver.
on the Dish remote u hit the Menu button and hit #6 then #1 and #1 again (wait for each screen to change ) u should see a signal bar at the bottom. U will need to get someone to turn the dish a little at a time till u get a signal. once u get a strong signal u hit the Check Switch and let it program.

Is there anything that may be blocking the dish such as rain, snow, or tree branches? Also, please make sure all connections from the wall to the receiver are tight. Reset the receiver by unplugging it from the wall for 10seconds, plug it back in and allow the receiver to power back on by itself. If issue persists please reach me at:[email protected] with your account information for additional assistance.

It sounds like the dish may be mis-pointed since it's not recognizing all the satellites. The next step for this would be to send a technician out to get everything fixed.

If you would like any assistance setting up a technician, just send me an email at [email protected] and I would be happy to help.

If you want to receiver a satellite signal, you will need a dish outside and a receiver to decode the signal enabling you to view the programs. I hope this helps.

We would be happy to help get your DISH Network signal back.The first thing we want to check is if there is anything blocking the signal toyour satellite dish like tree branches, severe cloud cover, or snow build-up.If it is safe to do so, remove the obstruction or wait for it to pass. If thatis not the case then reset your receiver by unplugging it for 10 seconds thenplugging it back in, the reset may take up to 5 minutes to finish (note: thereceiver's power plug usually has a red tag attached to it). At this point wewant to check the connection between your receiver and the outlet; please visitthis link and select the model receiver you are using to check the wiring ofyour receiver: http://www.dishnetwork.com/SupportSection/setup-receiver-towall.Once you have check the connections perform a check switch test. Press the menubutton, then the numbers 6-1-1 on your DISH remote, this should take you to thepoint dish screen, select check switch on the right, then test on the bottom ofthe screen. Once the test is complete exit the menus and let the receiveracquire the signal (If Error 836 appears, do not save the matrix, cancelit and call our 24/7 customer support number listed below.). After all thesesteps if the receiver is still not getting the signal it should please give usa call on our 24/7 customer service line 1-800-333-DISH (3474) for additionaltroubleshooting.

Hi mfpayton with the install of the brand new receiver wealways want to make sure all connections are tight. And after all connectionsare hand tight we will need to run the Check Switch Test. It will provide thestrongest signal to your home and you will see the signal move up into the 65percent range. If after the Check Switch Test it still is a low signal we mayneed to check the connections from the Dish and LNB that is an issue we wouldneed to come out on. I will leave the link to show you how to do the CST.http://www.dishnetwork.com/SupportSection/complete-sig-loss

You need a receiver for each TV you want to receive the reception on. Your dish receives the broadcast signal from the network and your receiver decodes and recodes the signal to view on your TV. The companies have created their own proprietary equipment to accomplish this to keep anyone and everyone from simply installing their own dish and receiving all of their broadcast channels for FREE. In the olden days when satellite and cable TV was new, that is exactly what people did. Remember those gigantic dishes some people installed in their yards? They would intercept the signals coming from the satellites and hook up directly to their TVs. The companies got smart and started to scramble the signals going up to the satellites to make these home owner dishes obsolete. Because the signals are scrambled, you now need a receiver to un-scramble the signal. I hope this helps and good luck. Please remember to vote if you found this helpful. Thanks.

No, you won't get significant signal in the FM spectrum from your satellite LNB coax. The dish is tuned to pick up signals of a very different frequency, and aimed to reject any signals not coming from a very specific direction -- up where the satellites are.

For FM, you need to receive signals from ground-based transmitters, in a different frequency range.

That said, you can totally use the coax to bring signals from your rooftop down to your stereo. To do this, you'd need to get up on the roof, disconnect the coax from your satellite dish and attach it to an FM antenna.

Best of luck!

yes your signal is very good but it hangs up, the most important is the quality of your picture, cause signal is composed of so many impurities including noise, so dish be orientated once more.thanks.

you need to split the line at the receiver box. The signal from the Dish needs 18vdc to the receiver or you'll get NADA.. If I understand you correctly???
