Dr.Dish:
It looks to me that your lnb refuses to work. Did you try another lnb
(ku-band)? In the old analogue days a weak lnb could be alive for certain
time giving some electro-shocks, like you did (coax cable of/on). If your
d-box works as a slave receiver, please describe your installation a little
bit more detailed.
