well kbox is still down!

do you get any channels? even like channel 100,,,you should atleast get the open channels such as 100 and a few others!
and yes ur dish should be fine if you had it working b4
did you try and run one seperate cable in from dish to kbox?

I would check sat cable and discq switch, if it shows no signal something is wrong with your connection or maybe your dish moved. I would concentrate on getting good signal and quality first on DN birds and then go from there.

I'm thinking that ur problem is in ur settings! be in ur Menu settings some thing is not setup correctly in there..
and if ur using a switch all you have to do is ground out the center piece in ur cable wire and you fried ur switch very easy to do

do you have ports setup?

Default no picture

hi ya angel : start from the source. lnb to receiver.if you are using a switch check it to see if you havn't blown it. ihub to router. in the receiver set up in menu are preferences that need to be set. time,ip config,settings and the satellite set-up. in satellite set up you must select the port settings and the switch setting along with the signal strength and quality. take a look at this post for settings.>>> http://www.ftaprofessionals.tv/kbox-...tup-guide.html and this one too>>> http://www.ftaprofessionals.tv/kbox-...e-install.html and this also shows trouble problems>>> http://www.ftaprofessionals.tv/kbox-...ting-tips.html good luck

Yes you can use the same discq switch, good to hear you got picture on your KBox, as you know it's down right now but when it goes online again you are ready.Good job.
