    Dish dropping out every day

    I did not know I had a heat problem. Also, kinda figured that one of the three techs that have been here on a house call or one of the 5 or 6 phone techs I have talked to might have mentioned it if it is a well known problem. Anyway the problem seems to be gone for now.

    Dish dropping out every day

    House wiring is OK. I have 5 computers spread around the house and that is the first thing I check before installing one. Funny thing, I have been browsing around here and on other forums and tried a couple of things I found. I put a small computer fan beside the left rear of the 722 case to...

    Dish dropping out every day

    No wall plate. I had Direct for several years and already had a fairly new twin lead ran through a wall so it is direct cable from the dish to the receiver. Not sure what a barrow is but both cable connectors have a blue collar at the rear of the connector. The Dish installer checked the cable...

    Dish dropping out every day

    Yeah, Fay has been tearing things up around here for 3 days now and I'm getting good reception. Fay is supposed to be out of the area by tomorrow so I'll probably start getting my drops again. I did finally manage to get a dish tech on the phone(6th or 7th call) that listened to me instead of...

    Dish dropping out every day

    No, it won't get any reception after either of the screens,"reacquiring satellite" or something like "this channel is down and we know about it, don't call us". After the "channel down" message I can go into the guide, select the channel that is supposed to be down, hit live tv and that same...

    Dish dropping out every day

    I'm in Birmingham,AL. I've been prowling around this site and see a post in the stickies about which transponder to check on each sat. My original figures are from using TP 11 on each sat. I've seen two different opinions on which tp to use. tp 7 on 110 tp7 on 119 tp21 on 129 tp21 on 110...

    Dish dropping out every day

    JimP, 78 on 119 62 on 110 42 on 129 Funny thing is that tropical storm Fay just went through here with some of the heaviest rain I've ever seen and I had no dropouts. It seems the system just can't stand good, clear sky days.

    Dish dropping out every day

    I've had Dish for about 3 months now and it has been a pain since day one. At least once a day and two or three times some days (during good weather) the system just drops out. I get one screen that says "reacquiring satellite" or that the "channel is down, don't contact us, we know about it"...
