[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 1052462, member: 369937"] If you do not have access right now to a multi-meter you can use a 12 volt automotive light bulb to test the receiver. If you know the polarity of the transponders on the satellite your trying for then switch to a channel that is on a vertical one, this will give a +13 volts on the receiver's LNB connection, a small piece of wire can be used at the "F" connector to connect to the light bulb's center pin (or one of the pins) the other side of the bulb can be touched to the chassis of the receiver. (UN-painted part) If the bulb lights it's working. [/QUOTE]
