T&T: DirectTV

[Milt Baker]

Bill,

I had a similar problem, though not due to thunderstorms.  My electronics tech purchased and installed a small transformer that takes 120VAC (from my inverter) and converts it to 18VDC and used that to feed the LNB, and our Direct TV has been working great ever since.   

Good luck,

Called DTV said take it to local guy. According to my guide should see voltage
at dish alternate between 13 and I think 18 volts. Seeing a steady 13.3. Am I
right in thinking the reciever gone tu? Thanks Bill
