  If your DREAM MULTIMEDIA Receiver has no audio, no video, and the LCD or OLED display is lit, begin by checking the wiring and connections. If the wiring is correct, the issue might be a faulty LNB, in this case you can exchange the LNB. Also, review the tuner settings and realign the dish if it's aligned incorrectly.

  If you're seeing beamlike blackouts in the video on your DREAM MULTIMEDIA Receiver, it could be due to heavy rain or snow; remove any snow from the dish. Another potential cause is incorrect dish alignment, so realign the dish. If the dish is too small, install a larger dish. An obstacle between the dish and satellite can also cause this issue, so reposition the dish for a clear view.
