Whatever the reason, they're certainly stronger now:
11801: 11.1 dB
11804: 13.4 dB
Patient: 11.6 dB
Newsource: 7.6 dB
Florida: 14.0 dB

Well here's my signal report from here in New Mexico! 
SBG TX 1 Freq, 11.749 GHz, H 8.399 MBs
2/1 the signal is hot and sometimes pinning the meter 83 to 85% on GeoSat reciever! They just went off the air.
DC ch. 11.761 GHz, H 2.686 MBs 3/4, 70%.
Ch.2 medical channel 11.802 GHz, H 2.686 MBs 7/8, 71%
LPBS is at 46 to 58%
CNN's feeds 11.960 GHz, H 29.269 MBs 3/4, 72%.
FL ch. 12.046 GHz, V 3.199 MBs 2/3, 74%.
FL, Lottery 12.050 GHz, V 4.799 MBs 2/3, 56 to 65 %.
The weather here in New Mexico is crappy dreary and cold, no rain or snow yet, just high clouds.

Here are my signals for 87W (on the AZBox), cloudy, with some sunny breaks:
11761 - 60
11801 - 75-76
11804 - 90-91
11812 - 68
11961 - 50-51

Well i moved my dish left a mm and now have News ch. And the lps is good too. I always have no signal when DSNG signals come up sr 4250. Maybe this will help.
Same here, LPB is back and all are nice and strong at the moment.
Patient Channel: 12.2 dB
Newsource: 9.5 dB
Florida Channel: 12.4 dB
LPB Mux: 11.0 dB
LPB Test: 13.4 dB
Here's the 2nd update on this bird,
DC ch. 70%
LPBS 0 to 35 bouncing around like crazy, but locks in nicely with no break ups.
CNN's feeds 75%
Fl ch. 70%
Fl Lottery 28 to 39%
2 stations did not lock in and had to punch in manually listed are...
Ch. 8, 11.805 GHz, H 72 to 73 a LPBS test card.
Medical channel 71%
So basically the signal varies greatly on certain stations.

Seeing some variations here, some stronger, some weaker, since my 2:07ET post:
11761 - 58-59 (was 60)
11801 - 82 (was 75-76)
11804 - 82 (was 90-91)
11812 - 57-58 (was 68)
11961 - 66 (was 50-51)
12045 - 80-81 (was 92)
12050 - 64 (was 75)
Even with a drop of 10 for LPB, it is still 20 above pixelation/drop off level, so all good if it stays within these parameters even with the fluctuations.

Just to let you all know I have been noticing past month overall cxr level from Louisiana Teleport was very low peaking around 40-45 C/N level. (1 meter channel master HDVR 3500 GeoSat) as of yesterday Mon 12-15 it is now back up to full power (85-87%) The test carrier @ 11804H S/R 1.250 which is usually higher (normally around 95-97% was only at 75-80) It looks like maybe maintenance work done on antenna or HPA. Anyone with dish less than 1 meter may have a problem receive LPB due to low carrier level. I never had an issue receiving mux with 1meter antenna and proper peak.
As far as other H down feeds Sinclair 11747 S/R 8.4 does fluctuate sometimes. Bear in mind the CNN transponders either H or V polarities will have marginal levels due to 5 mhz carrier levels. Sometimes lower sometimes higher. If someone can correct me on this I believe SES2 spacecraft transponder power is 90 watts good for 36" antenna receive. Also it also depends if transponder itself has padding or attenuation provided per customer request.

At moment all signals are way up. Nice clear sunny sky as well.
Currently news about deployment of vacine in Canada.

I seem to be on the ragged edge of receiving LPB. I'm getting between 8.1 and 8.3 dB using USALS positioning. tvrosat says I need 8.5 dB. I'm using a 1.2 meter dish that is peaked as much as I can get. The footprint map shows that I'm in the 50-51 dBW signal strength range. So, I changed from USALS to diseqc 1.2 and got the signal level up to 9 dB. That should stabilize the signal until the next snow or rainstorm hits. I was expecting to get better performance out of this dish though.
Have you tried it with the dish fixed on 87, no motor? That signal is finicky.
Now on 87W LPB HD I have 10.4 to 10.6 dB with my 1.2m dish. The C/N lock for DVB-S2 8PSK FEC 3/5 is 5.5 dB. This agrees with lyngsat for this channel.
I certainly hope they stay around. I have enjoyed many a program from LPB. I'm into the detective/crime/mystery stuff.
