Foretc LNB bad?

My new Ultra system has been working great for three weeks until yesterday when I lost all channels. The receiver seems to be fine, it moves the motor to the correct location, nothing has been moved, all connections are tight, but no signal strength, just stuck on 20%. Are there any tests to check for a bad LNB? Thanks for any help or ideas.

try to go to the reference position, turn off receiver using power button, and then switch off and on from the back. It possibly might correct something.

I turned off the power in the back of the receiver and the lnb is working now. Is there a reason the receiver has to be re-booted sometimes? Thanks all for you help.

I can't give you a technical explanation but since these receivers are close to computer-like devices which have memory, processors, etc. they need some restarts occasionaly. I don't thinks its a huge deal.
