I use several C Band dishes, but on my smaller 7.5ft mesh I'm still getting all the PR channels on 99W and the METV and Movies, etc. on 101W, as of 5:15am PST. I never bothered to bring in METV on 99W as it was already on 101W, so can't say about that one?

As of 7AM I was getting MeTV and Fox out of Missouri on 99W C-Band, but the weather turned the channels all pixel looking so I couldn't see anything; but figured it was still there. Latin Alternative was still on and Telemista or however you spell it had color bars.

This doesn't make sense now I am getting 7 to 8 percent quality which I had 72 quality before 8am.
 
ABC is gone from the PR/VI. A second This TV channel is showing on his place. The ABC feed along with LiveWell Net still showing in 4140
 
I am receiving the following, as of about 2:30 PM EDST, with Q somewhat lower than normal, due to heavy overcast and rain today in this area. Picture quality is OK, with no problems in reception.
On 99W
3845 H 15030 MUX, same as before except with ThisTV instead of LiveWell Net and instead of WPRU-ABC.
3776 H 3255 KCWY Signal OK
3720 H 8703 KBRK-FOX & -METV Signal OK
4080 H 27780 MYTV No Signal
3928 H 3125 Televisa Monterrey Signal OK
And ABC feeds are OK.
On 101W
3960 V 2734 MOVIES! & This TV Both OK
3974 V 5924 METV2 - Color Bars - Signal OK
METV1 - Program - Signal OK

same here,
anyone notice when 4080 H 27780 MYTV went dark?
 
So far, so good.
Movies, ME, and H&I are coming in for me just like always. And it is after midnight Eastern time.. . although not quite November 2 at their headquarters in Chicago.

I sure hope that it stays this way. I'd gladly trade all my thousand other FTA channels for these three.
 
Well, there it is. MeTV (and MeTV2) is gone from 101 now.

Bye bye my friend. Now I have to watch you on SUCKY KBMT 12.4....
The bit rate is sooooooooooooooo low that it's not watchable.

(Heros and Movies! are still there. For now.)
:(

What are you talking about? I'm watching Adam-12 LIVE on Metv on 101w right now this minute!
 
Well that's weird. I can get Heros and Movies (and one called THINK) but MeTV and MeTV2 are telling me "No or Bad Signal"..

Also, all the religious channels are coming in fine.

Even my fancy meter is telling me there is no signal on the transponder, 3973 V 5923 3/4
 
Try rescanning it, because it is for sure up and running now with Ironside on at the moment. Not my favorite Raymond Burr series, but I LOVE Perry Mason!

P.S. On my system, I show it at: 3975/V/5924 V356/ A 358(Dolby D)/ P 356 FEC 5/6
 
That's just weird.. Because earlier last night it was working fine.

Did you get it back Dee Ann? If not, I don't know if your using a switch of some kind, but if you are, your switch could have just died on you. That happened to me recently, one day I was watching NHK World, and the next day I wasn't while getting other channels just fine. It took me a few weeks of figuring it out the hard way and getting a new Heavy Duty switch installed in place of the cheap one I bought. I would suggest that and see if it helps. :)
 
No. Not likely a switch. Everything else comes in. But I just don't care anymore. I'm done with it.
