Been a long time since I've been round these parts, but... got my Hopper and 2 Joeys a few months back... 1) The obvious choices like PTAT and whole home HD - but I've always appreciated the clean, snappy guide UI. None better. 2) (the reason why I'm back round here tonight)... I have a lip...

How peculiar. Well, I hit swap, and the other channel was on a local, but not the OTA version. And since I pretty much never use OTA, I removed them all just in case... can always scan for em again down the road. We'll see how it goes!

I had no idea how to search on this in the forums, but this exact thing is happening to me on my 622. Watching MNF on ESPN... says it lost signal. But as soon as I hit the guide button, everything is back to normal for a few minutes... until it pops up the lost signal/002 message again. I'll try...

Thanks for the update and the hard work. :)

Terrific idea, but unfortunately I can not attend!

Receiver type: 622 Dish: Dish 500 (unsure about I adapter) Area: 06042 Date/Time: 5/27/2009, 5:35pm EST, Overcast 01: 57 (Spotbeam, Locked) 03: 28 (Spotbeam, Locked) 05: 66 (Spotbeam, Locked) 07: 48 (Spotbeam, Locked) 09: 62 (Spotbeam, Locked) 11: 38 (Spotbeam, Locked) 13: 30 (Spotbeam, Locked)...

Nevermind... I think I'm good. I was actually looking at Transponder 3; should have been looking at Transponder 1 instead... get a steady signal strength of 60 on it. I didn't know that the Point Dish screen alternates between "Spotbeam" and "Transponder". And double-checking The List helps, too. :)

Manchester, CT 06042 Dish 500 Checked out Spot Beam 3... it starts off as 67 signal strength then drops immediately to 29? Is that normal?

No...

That's exactly it. I know the initial reaction is to jump on the "clueless CSR" here, but they aren't clueless. They are repeating exactly what they have been told. It is not their fault that a CSR or even multiple CSRs do not know what we know. They are the symptoms. Educating the CSR's...

Trying to attach the pics... let's see how it goes!

Love, love, LOVE this feature! I'm an AT&T Dish Network Customer... so, other than a bit of a detour trying to register for an account off the main Dish Network page (gee, why would I think to register where it says "Current Dish Customers?")... I scrolled down, clicked on "Introducing Dish...

Buckchow, Thanks for all of the very informative posts.

You're right; it was surround-left. New episode is back to normal though... carry on!
