    Loss Of 129 Signal on WA 1K2 Dish

    Yeah that is what I am counting on actually. The obstruction on the EA side to me seems farther out than 160 because that would be almost to the end of my front yard or close to it and there is nothing there I can see. The mountain that is farther out would be the biggie but I'm hoping the look...

    Loss Of 129 Signal on WA 1K2 Dish

    I think in this case it will make a difference as there is a gap very close to the path it needs to be pointed

    Loss Of 129 Signal on WA 1K2 Dish

    Thanks for the reminder! I checked it with Dishpointer.com APP and according to it either way I go EA or WA there are obstacles roughly 163 feet out. I have Satfinder Lite on IOS and will give that a look soon as the phone charges. But just the normal unaided look the EA approach looks clearer...

    Loss Of 129 Signal on WA 1K2 Dish

    Thanks for the reply! It sounds like we are in agreement that the foliage is the culprit.Kinda odd that when I first completed the install the signal was OK but conditions can change, So it looks like by a quick site survey I "may" have a marginal shot at 61.5 and 72.7 on the EA for HD ...

    Loss Of 129 Signal on WA 1K2 Dish

    I have just relocated and moved my equipment to the new place which I sort of suspected I would have troubles with due to trees,but after all was installed I had almost equal signal on all 3 sats. After a couple of weeks with not being touched I have lost 129 altogether. In this "holler" where I...

    DISH Fails EAS Test? No Perhaps the EAS Test Fails DISH!

    The test wasn't a huge success as they originally hoped it to be. Lots of distorted or no audio and lots of cases of no relay or detection. EAS still has a long way to go to be redundant for alerting with all the pit falls that can happen. I caught the test on Dish at about 2:11 I think on...

    BB movie pass not showing on vip622

    I have a 622 and not sure I understand the whole approach of the Blockbuster deal. It is included on my account per my bill and a call to Dish CSR. SO next question is what does this actually entail? Just access to be able to download/stream content to my receiver and the charges for the actual...

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    Seriously as much debris as there is floating around in space it's a wonder more evasive maneuvers and hits don't happen.. I remember the SkyLab deal years ago.. I think half of earth was ducking and running lol

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    Looks like everything is back here in my part of VA including the spotbeam local HD's. I reset everything earlier today ,actually this AM and got all but the spotbeams back.. sure was nice to see signal on 129 again albeit the weaker bird (IMHO) Hats off to the SES folks and Dish folks for...

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    I'm in much the same boat..my OTA locals is limited to one translator and a PBS station that is LOS. Everything else is going to need a 100' minimum tower to get which can't happen unfortunately. The local SD feeds to Dish in my DMS never was very reliable or watchable anyway...most any black...

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    I had 110 and 119 here until my receiver rebooted on it's own and now all I have here in Va is 110...seems to be going backward :)

    Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

    My receiver/DVR just rebooted on it's own but it didn't help the 129 no signal problem.. at least they seem to be trying for a fix :)
