Work through these checks
Check power and TV input
Wake the receiver and select its HDMI/SCART input. Try MENU.
What the result means: No menu: investigate the TV connection before satellite settings.
Compare channels
With the menu visible, compare a known working channel and note whether the error affects one or all channels.
What the result means: A channel-specific fault is a different path from a missing TV menu.
Inspect accessible satellite connection
Disconnect power before checking the installed cable at LNB IN. Leave dish alignment and LNB configuration unchanged.
What the result means: Persistent reception failure: record signal readings for the installer.
Check USB recording separately
Check free storage and the timer’s Time Record setting. A full USB drive stops recording. Do not format as the first test.
What the result means: Working live TV with failed recording points to storage or timer checks first.
When to stop and get help
Stop for damaged cables, liquid or overheating. Dish access and internal repairs need a technician.
What to tell support
Write down the message and software version. Preserve channel settings and recordings.
