Tough one Grandude,
Obviously it seems like a bad 301. But I would try everything. Seems odd that the Receiver would be selecting which transponders to pass through. May be bad connection inside the 301 box.
Kevin68,
I had this exact problem on the west coast. The LNB's get corroded due to the sea air. Had to clean the coax fittings to get it working again. Took me awhile to figure that one out.
I do still qualify. And on the website, I can sign up for Atlanta, Chic, or New York distants. I still have LA distant networks. They used to offer Denver and Dallas as distant networks.

Let me know what they say if you contact them.
I lost my Denver distant netwrok channels last week (but retained distant channels for another city). Anyone know why Dish yanked these from me without warning?
