    Help, please. All birds have flown!

    Arrggghh!

    I can't get a digital lock on any satellite this morning. Everything was working fine last night.

    I don't think there was any wind strong enough to move the dish out of whack. I tried finding Shepherd's Channel and Classics Arts without any luck either.

    Suggestions, please.

    Thanks.

    Is there a Signal Strength indication?
    Check all wires connected to the back of the receiver.

    Right on the nail. Problem was a couple of loose wires.

    Now I know what the cat was up to last night.

    Many thanks.

    It happened again

    Can't blame the cat this time.

    Was happily watching TV when suddenly screen went grey. Checked wires again and all seem to be well seated.

    It's too late in the day to start tinkering with it now. I'll tackle it in the morning and see if you fine folks have come up with anything.

    System: Unknown outdoor equipment on 10' perforated dish
    GI 350 + 905 Sidecar (HDD200 waiting for me at the Post Office)

    Hubby is making small dish noises and I don't particularly want to go that route.

    Thank you.
