Old system we ordered on the rig when we bought it in 2002. Hadn't used it till last year. Seemed to work OK. The last two times out we've been unable to get reception. The unit seems to function other than we get no signal, even when in manual mode.
Get a signal from the Direct TV box and all onscreen tests run OK, but get no signal from any of the transponders. Hooked a signal strength meter in and it's showing power from the dish but no signal is received.
Had the same trouble when I first tried to use it and after a few times out it finally worked, now it's quit again.
It's set for 101°W for DirectTV
Ideas?

Might be a poor coax connection or bad LNB

I guess I should have said: I changed LNB's out to a known good one some time ago and it's worked since, but has now quit again. I also put a new end on the outgoing RG-6 inside the MH.

Yep, I've made sure of that too.

The only thing I can think of now is the circuit board at the antenna has gone out, and there are no new parts available.
