Modem still not working

So they sent me a replacement modem and it is still doing the same thing. I plug it in and the power light comes on, then the bottom 4 lights come on for a few seconds, then the bottom 4 lights go of...

    I was meaning the nightmare of explaining what is going on and no one understanding on the phone my explanation that the router/modem is getting no signal at all. No one could understand what I was trying to say to them I truely appreciate them sending a tech, he changed the transmitter and it is still not getting any signal. He is trying another new modem/router. Still not getting a signal. He has tried 3 different routers and each one has done something different. He just keeps plugging away trying other things now. Ok, so the transmitter was bad was why the modem was getting no signal, and then once the transmitter was changed it wasn't getting a signal due to the dish had moved slightly. So if anyone ever experiences the modem cycling through the lights like that. It is a bad transmitter! Thank you hughesnet for finally getting my internet back up and running after a month without!

Apparently, but no one has been able to tell me what the lights going through this process means! They just want to have someone come out and charge me $95

Yes, there's a fee for sending a tech out; it's not free.  I have no clue what else could be causing the issue -- I hope someone else here might have some ideas so you can troubleshoot the system.
