[cableguy]

I'm new to dish I'm not a fast learner but I'm persistant..My ? is what do I look for when a blocker goes down or a reciever gets hit..From much reading I know you'll get the top one channel if reciever gets hit I'm not even sure about that ,but what about the blocker??? and I'm not sure what to do to repair it I think I need to erase in jkeys the epprom then reprogram with the flash I saved in the begening is that correct??? and if th blocker were to go down what would happen and how do I fix it short of reprogramming the whole card with the new blocker......All help greatly appreaciated I'm switching over from dtv and I need all the help I can get

When your Blocker goes down or your ird gets hit ....youll recieve the "Error 153 There is a serious problem with your reciever" message pop up on your screen and in all probability if you go to system info and look at your Location id it'll now show 000000001....meaning youve benn hit with an "ECM"...now if your blocker is down,yes you'll have to reprogram the cam with a new one but if your ird has been hit then alll you need to do is erase the corresponding SA for your ird and restream it.
