Could use some imput on a problem I am having with my 7200 reception. It's been out of the stream for a while and still haves good loc. Won't reconize switch and signal strenghth. Using 2 single lnb dish's with one sw21 . Also applied mic lock before putting in stream ,( rom 3 ) after blocker applied it goes to (383 Rev )Before blocker ( 372 Rev ) Just says "aquiring signal " when going thru set up it freezes about 3/4 thru scale. Then says no switch detected..Tried everything I could think of..any ideas out there?..........thanx

do you have another receiver to check for signal strenght?
if no signal strenght, then check coax cables for loose/bad connection, make sure to use RG6 cable. dish may have gotten bumped or moved or trees maybe in way or grown since you last used the dish etc...
once you get a signal strenght then do a switch test with out the sat coax connected to clear the matrix then reconnect check signal and do switch test again.
make sure to use transponder 11 -12 one sat 110 or 119 to check signal
once you get signal, then turn it off and let it stream update to current software then redo switch test.
lots of 7200 got hit in last ecm, so be careful
blocker will spoof rev o 383 which is ok, make sure to have blocker on before card in stream

What Is Your Software Version? If It's Been Out Of The Stream For Some Time, It Will Probably Need To Be Updated? Take The SW21 Out And Hook Directly To The 119 Satellite. Make Sure You Have Good Signal. Turn Receiver Off, Remove Card And Unlock. I've Updated Several 7x00 Without The Card In The Receiver.
