  If your Gi Receiver shows 'no signal', there might be several reasons: * The signal level could be weak: Ensure your dish is positioned correctly and try to enhance the signal strength. * The LNB might be out of order: Consider replacing or repairing the LNB. * The cable from the LNB or Terrestrial might be incorrectly connected (short circuit or open circuit): Check and properly connect the cable. * The dish might be aligned incorrectly: Realign the dish for better signal reception.
