Things had been working fine for months until ......

About one week ago, I have lost the all channels on my Dishnetwork 301 system which is coupled to a twin dish unit (dual lnb). When I scroll through the channels, I see the description of the channel appear for a moment with a blue screen and then a few seconds later its just a blue screen (no sound). The menu system works and I have confirmed satellite lock and signal strength above 100. When running a checkswitch it reads something like:

LNBSTAT1

DPTWIN1 119 Even/Odd
DPTWIN 110 Even/Odd

1:50 9/23 7:50 9:23 Lost Signal.

This is cryptic because I'm trying to debug this system over the phone for a person who is in early stage Alsheimers.

Any clues would be helpfull and maybe save me a 200 mile trip.

My first question is... why over 200 people viewed your post and no one answered?
Secondly... are you using an old Dishnetwork unit, have you called Dishnetwork and requested a technician visit? Unless you are not actually paying for this service...
Let me know whats your real situation so I can try to help.
