I think I have the famous "plastic dish too hot" thing going on. I couldnt stand it so I went home and mine still wont lock. I has no signal whatsoever. It comes back around 8 o'clock after its cooled off to 91 degrees.
As much as I hate to Im going to call dish. I was told they are replacing them with metal ones to solve the problem.
I have one of those plastic SD's, Never had any problems with it at all. But after reading this post. I thought, lets just see what the real difference is in temp. Right now the air temp is 91deg @1300.
With one of those laser temp gauges:
My 39" is 113deg.
My two D500's are 117deg.
Now for the SD plastic 130deg
So I can only imagine what it would be on a real hot day, I see allot of people around here painting there dishes Brown to blend in, just think how those would be. Maybe white would help keep it cooler.
Guess I'll have to keep this all in mind if I ever start having problems!
