Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

We have two dish receivers....connected to four tv's...the Dvr receiver for the master bedroom and living room is coming up with the total signal loss message but when I go to the other tv's with no DVR they still have signal...when I contacted Dish via chat before their chat went down they said it was a satellite issue...how is that possible if one of the receivers in the house still has signal?
are the other receivers SD or HD?
 
What ever the direct cause was or is, I still think for such a complete wide spread problem, the satellite lost it's proper orientation. Just my swag....(stupid wild *ss guess)
 
This shows why satellite companies have backups and how fragile they really are.

That would apply to all the "cable" channels, as well, as they up available ONLY on satellite for cable, IPTV, FiOS and DBS to receive and re-transmit, and those channels are often grouped on "neighborhoods" so even just ONE satellite failure means buh-bye to a whole slew of pay TV channels.
 
Hi guys! Been a LONG time.

I saw a post from someone about timers not switching over from HD to SD. That's not quite right.

Possibly depending on receiver model (622 here), and channel number (use the low ones), it WILL switch, but you might have to reboot the box.
I am in the old habit of using the 9xxx channel numbers for "cable" channels due to an old bug with SD/HD selection, and they will NOT switch.
Locals using 2-digit numbers probably will, but if you use the 4-digit numbers, they won't.

AND = this is post #500 = what do I win? :)

I have the 922 and my timers have not automatically switched, even after reboot. None of my wife's programs recorded upstairs on the 722 either.
 

Any DIRT Member around?
