At camper, was getting 101 and 119 fine on Saturday, then on Sunday, nothing at all on 119 (Green Bay Locals went to all zeroes). Nothing visually changed outside. Is there some kind of an explanation for this?
 
Zero 119 signal even when became sunny. No cracks in lnb cover, but maybe some rust or connection corrosion inside - I did not check that. Looks like it could just go out any any time - but the 101 remains working ?
 
if you know anyone who has a box you can put in to test, you can rule out the box. what type of signals are you getting on the 101?
 
never say never, but its usually not the box. since the transponders on the 101 are all over the map, i'd hazard a guess theres something wrong with the LNB.
 
No, they are not "all over the map". Remember, 101 has several spotbeams and the signals can be very low on spotbeams not "pointing" at your city.
 
So, it could be the box? On 101, I get a range of 62 low to 95 high.
Perhaps you may want to post those transponders readings. If you are getting low #s on the CONUS beams and high #s on the SPOTS, this indicates a misaligned dish an d would explain why you are not getting the 119

i was probably reading more into that then you as where i am i have three 0' and everything else reads ~95 on the 101. knee jerk thought.

I finally have 119 working, have 90's on 7 transponders, 0 on 29 and 31 transponders, but wondering why only in the teens on transponder 25 - which is used for ??
 
It's a spot beam not pointing at you, you are picking up the edge of the spotbeam.

No, it's a signal not aimed at you. Spotbeams aimed at other cities can have low or zero signals.

Anyone else having trouble with on-demand for the channels?

Have you ever requested any channels from DirecTV?
