Could you summarize that for me? The forum required registration, and when I did register, I couldn't navigate the site for some reason. The link takes me to the login page even though I tell it to remember that I'm logged in, and I tried looking at the forums myself but every forum link takes me to the same forum. I have no idea what's going on.

After being utterly dead for the past week for me, the goofy thing came back tonight in the middle of a snowstorm. I swear I didn't touch anything. Of course, being an 18" dish, it didn't survive the snowstorm for very long. But at least I know for certain it's not my LNB or cables.

Jim,
I do not have a permanent dish set up, I use a motorized 90 cm on a tripod that I carry in and out of the garage and I have a 500 dish that also carry in and out of the garage. 72W is one of my favorite satellites and one of the first one I tune in when I am working around the garage. I usually use the 500 dish, and today the signal on the NBC mux was just at the threshold of my receiver. I did a blind scan and was able to receive 4 feeds with decent SQ. I don’t know what happen to the MSNBC mux all summer long I was getting good SQ at least 10 to 15% above threshold. I have the 500 dish mounted on a lazy susan and I was able to tune 72, 74 and 79 without changing skew or elevation. Now it seems that I have increase the elevation a little through out the day to keep the mux locked in at the receivers’ threshold. If I have time and the weather holds up I am going to change the LNB and realign the 500 dish to see if I can improve the signal quality of the MSNBC mux.

Nothing on AMC6 NBC mux working here

Now I can believe that satellite is getting weaker, for the first time nothing will lock on my 1m dish. OOPS IM A LIAR-it just popped in and locked.
Raining steady here but until this morning I hadn't seen a time when my 1m wouldn't lock something on that bird. Maybe they'll move everything over to 74!
