I guess with trees growing it is possible that they are blocking my signal all of a sudden. I have two dishes, my oldest one has been in the same place for 10 years but the second dish I received when I purchased HD 4 years ago was moved to a different/better location about two years ago when...

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate it. I guess I rarely watch my channels that use 119 and didn't even notice it until just checking now.

#3HaloODST - 119, 110, 129 are showing up. After the test, I get a red x for 119, yellow bar for 110 and green bar for 129. Details show ten signal losses on tuner 1. This is all new to me so I don't know if this helps but I have not been experiencing any weather issues recently like rain.

@ckhaliil18 - Sorry, I do have the 622 receiver. I was reading the forum looking for similar problems and read the thread about the recent 722 update and assumed I had a 722 since I seemed to get an software update at the same time period but I just looked and it is a 622.

Just finished doing the swich test. I received a message along the lines of "there are fewer satellites than you once had" with an option to save to make it permanent or cancel. I hit cancel.

I unplugged the receiver for a couple minutes and plugged it back in. After acquiring a signal, the program guide info was downloaded but the same thing is happening, I get 46 hours of guide info. This has been ongoing ever since the last software update about four days ago. The other thing...

Four days ago I appeared to receive a software upgrade as I noticed small changes to the menus as were being described in the l685 thread. I have the system updates scheduled each night at 4am and since then, each morning when I wake up, my program guide is not even giving me two full days in...

Thanks a lot everyone. That's a cool trick defdude, and thanks for the link 3halo, I am going to try that the second I am done restoring to the receiver.

It is a FreeAgent Desk Drive 1TB. I agree with you, I think it must be a sleep mode problem but I don't know what to do. I know of PC programs that can write an empty string every so often to keep the drive from going into sleep mode but I have no idea what to do when it's hooked up to a dish...

Yeah mine is a seagate. Is there a way to turn sleep mode off?

I just bought a 1TB Seagate hd for my 622 receiver. It's not that one Dish is promoting but it was recognized by my receiver and worked. The problem is that it regularly needs unplugged because none of my recordings are showing up, there's an error trying to send recordings to it, it just...

I must have gotten the CW in HD sometime this week. I found that very odd, is everyone else getting it? I thought the only people on Dish getting CW lived in NYC or LA, certainly not a small market near Pittsburgh.

Thanks garys, I'll do that. That figures though, reminds me of Verizon, I've been a customer for ten years spending over $100 a month and a new customer gets what I want for free.

I have a 622 receiver that I assume I lease from Dish as I never paid for it. If I want one of the newer models with a bigger hard drive can I simply call Dish Network and request one for free or do I have to pay a fee to upgrade?

Well.. I live in Pennsylvania and haven't had a signal in over an hour now. Not sure if it's the Solar Tsunami for sure but there are no storms or rain here.

Thanks for the answers, I appreciate it. There are no deciduous trees in front that would have gotten thicker in the past month so it must be some tall pine trees. Those are around 50 yards away but there are tall. I'm not sure if I'll be able to do anything about that unless the move my dish...

Yep, same here, I just got off the phone and a tech is coming Friday. Maybe it's the same one because I have the 12pm -5pm slot. I mentioned the 90 day warranty and he said it will be free then (THANKS for the info). I'm not sure what is going on, 110 is fine but besides 129, 119 is out as well.

I'm in the Johnstown/Altoona PA market and got my locals a couple weeks ago and had to have my dish repositioned for 129. Since then it's been ridiculous. It's rained, no sprinkled, twice since then and each time it's taken two days to finally be able to acquire a satellite signal from...

I live in the Johnstown, PA market where HD locals finally became available. My normal HD channels always used satellite 110 or 119 I believe and the signal strength was always in the 80s. When I called to order the locals I was told I needed a "third?" dish on my roof but when the tech...

I'm in the Johnstown PA market and saw DirecTv just added hd locals. Does that mean dish network will be doing it shortly? Are the satellite hd locals based on getting permission from the networks or is it about satellite limitations or something else?

I just did and it worked, that was odd that 3 channels were missing, I never had that happen in 3 years. Thank you very much.

Hmm, I wonder what's going on with me then? Yesterday I had both channels and today I can't get them. I'm missing the Science Channel as well.

Is anyone else having a problem with vs/golf and the tennis channel? I just got home and noticed that I now am missing both of these channels in HD?
