.... more loss of signal

Problem: Receiving only one signal

I read the primary discussion regarding typical 'loss of signal' hints and then performed a couple of tests on my home R16 500 DVR.

On the "System Info & Test" both Tuner 1 and Tuner 2 tested "OK".
On the "Signal Test" Tuner 1 had a signal strength of 95.
On the "Signal Test" Tuner 2 had a signal strength of 0 (zero).

I disconnected both cables from the rear of my receiver and then re-connected both cables with no successful resolution to the problem.

I went to my dish and disconnected and then re-connected both cables with no successful resolution to the problem.

(1) Would it be probable that I still have cable problems between my dish and my receiver?
(2) Could the dish be slightly out-of-alignment due to recent winter storms?

Thanks,
Roger
