Receiver 6131 seems to have a short somewhere

[debj56]

When I hook up, nothing happens and then if I move either the power cord at back or the satellite "in" connection can usually get it working.   If moved, even a smidge, can kick back out. Should I buy another one?? How do I make sure that it is can be registered or how do I start the process.   What should I pay for a used 6131??

Hey there @debj56,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the Bell Community.

It certainly sounds like an issue with the cord/connection. Does it appear to be loose, or damaged? Have you tested on a different TV/outlet?

If this persists and you are looking to replace your equipment you can order receivers directly via MyBell. Check out How to order additional receivers for Bell Satellite TV

Let the Community know how things are going.
