SL5S4NR3-01 not sending signal

It has worked for years camping with no internet.

As a note, no DirecTV box requires internet. So that would have nothing to do with your issue. Internet connected is only for optional On Demand features.

No problem, glad your service is working. Enjoy

The question now is why was it working without one in the first place?

@shannon02 who knows, sometimes the receiver provides enough voltage itself to power the SWM LNB. However, running with this low amount of voltage eventually causes the LNB to burn out or worse for the receiver to be damaged. It’s not unheard of for this to occur, especially for HD receivers like the H21 and H23. 

Here’s a similar case on DBSTalk:

It took the LNB awhile to go bad. But when it did, I would move dish to get signal and it would say 95 then 0, not 95, 89,60,0. Super frustrating until I asked all of you for assistance. I am 40 miles from nearest store, so no quick fixes when needed parts. lol.

Thanks again,
