Okay I assume you mean the satellite receiver.

Unplug it right away to avoid anything from sparking or shorting out.

Take it somewhere where you can dry off any remaining water on the surface of the box.

Gently turn the box upside down and see if you can shake out any water inside.

Take a hair dryer and place the heat on LOW (or even no heat) and see if you can blow some air into the cooling slots on the black box. Do this for several minutes.

Try to wait 24 hours before plugging the box back in; any water inside should have dried out by that time.

If it still doesn't work there's a good chance you fried something with the water; electronics and water doesn't mix very well.
