My channel 202 has been out for over a week. I have checked signal strength and the 101 satellite is showing 85 up to 99 percent. What satellite is 202 on? Why would I not be receiving 202 and 269? I have used the Clearmybox and hard reset as well. I am getting code 771.

to Satelliteguys paul1948!First off, stop posting so much! (I kid!)
Are you using sd or hd? CNN is on 99CA t 23 and History is 99CA t 19 for HD, and CNN is on 101 t 11 and History is 101 t 14 for SD. Neither is on the same transpoinder for either hd or sd. Did you check all of your connections?
Thank for the quick reply!!! I had been using the HD 202 and 269. I went back in and found that the standard definition 202 and 269 worked fine. Any idea why the HD aren't working? I've been using them for years.

If all of your other channels are working okay, it sounds like an lnb issue. What about ESPN or ESPN2? They are on the same transponder as CNN.
I checked sat 99 and t 23 and t 19 are showing 0. The other signal strengths ranged from 26 to 45 on sat 99.

AH! Now I'm thinking alignment since your numbers are so low. They should be at least in the 80s, better in the 90s. Perhaps the dish mount has loosened?
Both ESPN and ESPN2 are also out. I guess it must be an LNB problem. Dish is pointed just about perfectly.
We have had high winds here several days ago. Dish could have been blown slightly out of alignment. Signal strengths on the 101 sat are showing between 85 and 100.
What about the signal strengths on the other satellites? They should all be in the 90s. Disregard the 99s and 103s numbers.
Definitely sounds like an alignment issue. It could be the lnb. Do you have a spare to swap out? How accessible is the dish?

Dish is accessible, however, I don't have a spare LNB to swap out. I saw one on ebay that is available for about $11.00. I want to thank you for the help, greatly appreciated!
Here is a picture of mine. The ebay is a SL3, they look the same.

As long as you don't have a swm switch, that's the correct lnb. How many cables coming from the dish? If one, you are good to go.
