I can watch tv with most of the channels but i have to do more work. the problem is whenever i tune to different channel, i have blank screen and my quality around 100% and my signal around 92%. what i do to get picture back for the channel i have tuned to is to turn of the power by using the remote and turn it back on. so my question is that IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? TIA

It's your Dsecq switch I think. When you change channels, does it go blank when the next channel happens to be on another satellite? For example, DN uses 110 & 119. It could be that the switch is getting stuck as it tries to shift between the satellites.
Best way to test? Delete all the channels; then scan in channels FROM ONE SATELLITE ONLY; make sure your switch settings on LNB match the connections on the switch; then try to surf through the channels - if it doesn't jam up and doesn't go blank then it's the switch. You'd need to get a new one to access more than one satellite.

Steve probably you have a clone not the genuine stuff.

Steve, I had the same kind of problem on a different receiver a few months ago. I was at my wits end - until I replaced the switch.

A word of advice: if you do buy another switch, remember that not all switches are compatible with all boxes.

Need more info dave. Are you trying to scan for channels or do you have a channels list? Check your connections and make sure dish is set right.

You probably have bad LNB's replace it to see if it works you have tried different switches and that is the only thing that I can think of. You probably have a clone or try to reset to factory settings and start from scratch.

you either have a bad diseqc switch, a bad LNB, the wrong configuration on your sat list where you have no port number for the diseqc, or... you have a bad receiver.

check your diseqc settings... make sure it doesnt say OFF...
you need to tell us what LNBF youre using...
also what DiSEqC switch if any...
