Please any assistance with my dish tv s7070rHD box I live rurally in the Southland region my box keeps displaying a message Your Set-Top Box is unable to receive a signal. Please check your cable/Satellite Dish. Checked all cables dish is fine. Only used it 2 days ago, In need of help to tune the channels. Support team wasn't much help and thought I'd ask before paying big dollars for someone to come out physically to check.
Ive installed dishes for a living and I cant look at a dish and say it’s at the correct degree. As I mentioned earlier there are three different adjustments, if any of them are out by more than a few degrees it wont work properly.
I had a similar problem with mine - it basically stopped powering the LNB. My set up involved 2 TV's in different rooms (STB in lounge, TV with built in Sat tuner in bedroom) being connected to the dish via a splitter. The first TV set up switched on would provide power to the LNB up till the day the s7070r decided it wouldn't. I quickly found that if I powered on the bedroom TV first the s7070r would be happily receive and display signal, change channels etc. Strange, and slightly annoying but not enough for me to buy another STB.
EDIT: If you have another STB or can borrow one, it'll worth doing a swap out to test if it's a problem with your receiver or if the problem lies elsewhere.
