Sony HD-SAT300

Tim:

I have an HD-300 and lightning struck a tree near the house. I couldn't
recieve any DTV signals, but could recieve off the air signals which
come in on my regular antenna (signal goes through the HD-300) . I
called the Sony service number in the manual and they went through some
trouble shooting and concluded that the unit needed to be sent in. They
found the unit was not sending any voltage back to the dish. They
repaired it no cost since it happened few a days after the warranty
expired (1 year).
