    Galaxy 25 problems today?

    ADVERTS 1
    Anyone having problems with Galaxy 25 channels today.

    Several times so far, they've all gone to "no signal" for a couple of minutes, then back to normal signal.

    AMC 4 channels didn't seem to be affected.

    It's a clear, sunny day here and just a slight breeze. Nothing that would seem to affect the dish.

    I seem to have lost all my Glorystar again, today, but I am quite sure my problems are not yours. The wind started last night about 6 pm and stayed above 30 mph until about 7:15 pm tonight. (24.5 Hrs). .Wind is now light, at 11 mph.

    My dish does not have the braces to the LNB arm so the arm is over east about 3/4 inch again. The last big wind like this, the dish was warped so I had to disassemble it and shake the warp out! My shoulders hurt by the time I got it flat again. Looks like may be the same thing again, too. I don't know if braces would keep it from warping.

    Hope it comes back up for you so you can watch it.
    Home base is 20 acres near N45.85 W120.58.
    Lots of room for Ham Antennas HF, 2M and .75M and Satellite Dishes
    Mercury II , -Fortec Star 5400-NA; Coolsat 6000; GeoSat DVR1100c ; 10 C-Band analog receivers - untested.
    KU Band:Thfree Primestar 75E's , One carried mobile in motor home , 1M Primestar for G19 and recording.
    1.2M to rebuild and test then use if I can.
    C-Band: 1-10 ft, 1- 7ft mesh and 1- 6th mesh Winegards, waiting for concrete foundation

    It happened about 4 different times yesterday - signal qualities on Galaxy 25 channels to zero for a few minutes then back to normal again. Seems to be ok today, though.

    No reported issues with Galaxy25. A new transponder is being added and some testing is happening, but nothing that is affecting all transponders.

    FINALLY the wind has died down, tonight. Very cold - a record for the date! But I was able to take the reflector off an check it - over 1 inch of warp. When I took the bolts out of the reflector they cleared the bolt holes. Got the warp out and back together and finally got all but miracle channel back on,but have good sq so may be off the air.

    How are you doing?

    The problem hasn't reocurred for me. All the channels we normally watch have been fine.

    It happened to me today while my kids were watching Smile of A Child in the living room and I had SafeTV on in the den.. Gone for a couple minutes. I flipped the channels and none of the Galaxy 25 were coming in. All the AMC4 were fine. After a couple of minutes everything came back.
