[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 420119, member: 256551"] Hi, The fact that your sat beeper likes to beep when the LNB is not receiving a valid signal does not necessarily prove your receiver is dead. Those cheapo beepers/meters do nasty things like that. Unless you have access receiver test equipment, one way to check your receiver is to to go back to your original fixed dish set-up. With the meter in the circuit, adjust its gain for the centre of its range and swivel the dish left and right to see if the beeping changes accordingly. If it does, align the dish and see if you get any channels. As Rolf said though, if the motor's running, the 12V and the 22KHz must be getting through. Not a good idea to disconnect things with the receiver powered up. Luckily when I first did this I kept getting a shock :eek:of the connectors, which deterred me from doing it again. Edit: OP posted same time as me. An LNB is cheaper than a new receiver so it my be worth trying a replacement. [/QUOTE]
