Thanks for the continued good advice. I really appreciate it. So one vote for bad power, one vote for a messed up LNB, and another vote for a bad software update. Should I call Dish and ask that they send a technician to come check it out? What's that going to cost? And if he can't find...

I'm not an electrician, but I've got an outlet tester. It indicates that the outlet is fine. I know that the technicians grounded the dish when they originally installed it (I asked - a friend of a friend once had a fire when a non-grounded dish got hit with lightning), but I haven't checked...

Thanks for the response. My 722 sits in an open HT rack; no door, no rear panel, no sides, so airflow can't really be an issue for me. Did you call dish and specifically ask for a technician to come check it out? They have not offered to send anyone, though I have not asked. How did you get...

Same here. I just sort of assumed that it would happen overnight. No HD locals, yet. I live in the Champaign/Springfield/Decatur IL DMA, and we're on the Feb 18th list for HD locals per that retailer chat. I checked this morning before work too, and nothing has changed. Same SD locals as...

No, the antenna doesn't need to see the sky. Think of it like FM radio. Does an FM radio need to be able to see the sky to work? Nope. Neither does a TV antenna. Now that is different technology completely from your satellite dish, which has to point directly at the orbitting satellites...
