Satellite dish set up?
I have 1 receiver and 2 boxes. One tv works fine the other goes straight to satellite dish set up. I selected all options and wait for configuration. Re test comes up. Re test again and nothing. Menu button/ all buttons do nothing. I'm lost. I've unplugged,reboot. Re wire. Nothing works. Always back to satellite dish set up page.

Well a receiver is a box so saying 1 receiver and 2 boxes doesn't tell us anything.
What models are each box?
Which one is the problem?
Is there an error code?
Did something change or occur before this happened?

This system is on a boat. Traction Direct tv mobile, reciever/controller with M1 KVH satellite dome.
The other direct tv boxes are model H24-100R. These boxes run off of the tracvision box. One works. The other says "satellite dish set up". No other screen or option available on this one particular box.

The KVH system was not provided by DTV. Have you tried swapping the H24s?

Also be prepared to update your setup in the foreseeable future.
DirecTV is in the process of shutting down their MPEG-2/SD-only feeds. Currently the only option for boats that supports that going forward is the Intellian s6HD. The H24 is a MPEG-4 box so good there.

All DTV can do is refresh the account authorizations and that will not fix a box that is defective.
