EVERY weekend about this time, ME and THIStv vanish like clockwork! Crazy...
That's the craziest thing, I was even watching it at 6:30 just fine. Every weekend about this time the Me and Thistv signal vanishes from 101w, and I can't get it back even if I move the dish either way! It's happened now 3 weekends in a row, but this is the first weekend I've had it motorized so I could move it and see if it comes back. It doesn't. GEB channel and others on there still work fine.
Anybody know if they fire up a special transponder for a couple hours Saturday night to broadcast something, that blocks this signal out?
Are these also still hidden on 103w?

I thought I was the only one that had this problem. More ME than This, like clock work every Saturday afternoon. Today the signal got weak, but didn't disappear. I don't know about 103.

.....................and I just checked again, and it's back already! Usually it doesn't come back before 9:40pm or so.

Proud Staff MemberThey are both working fine here. It could be something local to you that is firing up at this time every weekend.

Yes, about then. There's no way it's anything local to me. I'm deep in the woods, 25+ miles to the nearest commercial airport, and there's nothing around here that could be fired up to block the signal microwave-wise. The last two weekends I was using a Satelliteav Geosatpro C2 lnb. Signal went out and never came back before 9:40pm or so if I was lucky. Yesterday I hooked up my orthomode feedhorn with Norsat 8115's. Signal still went out tonight, but came back quickly, I'm not sure why.
