Problem found and repaired , bad wire where cable goes underground in back of dish , back up and running . Been using this same 3 piece 12 foot fiberglass dish since July 1 , 1983 .

I think I should of posted here rather then in C- band satellite ... I just lost the digital channels I watched on satellite C-3 , the DC light no longer goes on on my receiver when I go to any of the 600 or 700 series channels . I tried both a nps hit over the phone and one online to no avail...

No DC light on receiver Yep , tried a rehit on G-1 also but without the DC light it won't work . Gotta find out what made the DC light go out in the first place . I tried a friends 922 4Dtv rec. but had to put my board in as he never updated to the newer slotted card type like mine has so...

On or about May 5th I lost channels 600 , 601 , 602 603, 604 , 606 & 607 on C-3 while the remaining channels I subscribe to on C-3 were OK , so yesterday I tried doing a online " rehit " at NPS on ch. 101 and I could not get the DC light to come on so I sent for the " rehit" anyway and...

Hello all you "C" bander's , could someone explain what satellites and channels I might be able to find some " in the clear channels on . At the moment I subscribe & watch channels on satellites on C-4 , C-3 and G-3 as that is where 99 % of my subscription stations are . Right now I...

July 1, 1983 How do I know that ? I put the date of installation in the concrete after I mixed and poured it , then a few days later the 12 foot fiberglass got installed and we've been up and running ever since . First receiver was a Dexell . Been through 3 or 4 dish arms and on my 3rd...
