How do I repair warning 836?  Does it mean I need to replace my check switch?

Good Day.

This is often a cabling issue. Check your cables & replace if necessary. Either the wrong type of cable (i.e. not RG6) or a bad (or improperly installed) connector can cause this problem.

Try removing all of the cables. Remove ALL inputs, run Check Switch, it will fail. Then reconnect all of your cables & try running the Check Switch once again.

If your problem continues, you may need a tech visit to check out your LNB & dish.

Take care.

Receiver 6500- receiver works fine on my other tvs. This is a new tv and it says warning 836 when I check the switch…has found you have fewer satellites than previously detected. Again receiver works on my other tvs. Roku tv RTRU5528-CA. RCA
