7100 hooked up straight to Dish 500 with Dishpro twin lnb's. Been working for about a month now. ECM hit and I had nothing but scrambled channels. Well I left the thing on all day today and came home and looked at the TV and the scrambled channel message switched to a no signal message. I've flashed to factory and to newest file and I'm not finding any satellites. No storms or strong winds to move the satellite. Any ideas?

If you have an option to check with another receiver try that. If you also have a sat finder try using that to see if you get a signal. Check all of your connecting and make sure nothing came lose.

I have seen some strange things sometimes as a result of auto scan for satellites with some NORW releases....
Check in the dish settings for each satellite that you are pointed to ensuring that your LNB Frequency (not TP Frequency!!!) is set to 11250 for each LNB.
Other option is to factory default the receiver, load an older NORW release and scan for satellites, if successful then update to current release without doing a factory default..
Make sure that you have signal strength first for each satellite..if not you have a cable, switch or LNB problem.

Also unplug receiver from power. Undo satellite cable from stb, then redo your files then hook satellite cable back up then see if that help.
