If all of those still give you a bunch of zeros for signal strength, take one of the receivers and hook it directly into the satellite feeds that go into the switch. Then run another check switch if you still aren't getting signal, and re-report your signal strengths.

Basically you most likely have one of the following:
- Bad switch
- No power to switch
- dish got bumped and now isn't aimed right.

By 'bad switch' do you mean the metal box that plugs into the wall with cable running in and out of it? I think that's what it was. I unplugged it and moved to a different outlet and then everything started working again. Not before I almost killed myself going on the roof though. Thanks for all the replies guys. Saved me $75.
