I don't know if I am allowed to post this kind of question here so if I am not,I apologize. My neighbor has the above sat.receiver that when he powers it up,pix is there for about 5 seconds and then it powers dn.It won't power back up unless you unplug it from the ac. I don't know much about sat.receivers but i went over there anyway to see what its doing. I thought that maybe a short in the LNB or the lines coming in may be causing the problem but I disconnected all lines and it still shuts dn.When you plug it in,there are about 4 symbols that show up on the display panel.One looks like a clock or a timer symbol.I thought maybe it was locked up or in a timer mode but don't know.If there is someone here that is familiar with this unit and may have some suggestions,can you please advise.Thank you very much.
