the second tv connected to the main receiver is losing the signal. It worked fine for a couple months, then the signal started to go in and out. Now I can't get any signal. I checked all the cable connections and nothing is loose. What other troubleshooting can I do on my own?

I'm not sure if I'm understanding your question correctly. I'm going to assume you're using a single satellite receiver (with a single tuner) to feed two TV's. If you already tried replacing the cable, I'd suggest running audio video cables as long as the second TV isn't all that far. You could also use a wireless A/V sender instead. You probably are already using the RCA jacks for your main TV, but they make Y's that will split the line and you can get these at Radio Shack or wherever. Also you can hook up one set of lines to your VCR and use the RF modulator in that to send the audio/video to your other TV.
If your dish network receiver has a dual tuner so that you can watch two different channels at once (for the other TV) then you have a different problem. Test the cables going out to the dish and if they're fine, then one of the outputs on your LNB is going bad and the LNB will need to be replaced.

The easiest, quickest, surest answer is to call Customer Service....maybe not the quickest (because of all the recordings).....so a quick way to get around those recordings is to let the guy/gal talk for maybe 30 seconds or so with their "stupid" recordings, and then hit the 9 button on the phone (hope you have digital phone) ....hit 9's one after another about 20 times and their system will say to itself, "forget this guy, let's send him to a real-voice and real-person right now!"
A person will get on and help you 1-2-3.
