Two days ago, my 920 was working perfectly.
Today, I cannot pickup any channels on the western satellites usually beginning with T7 heading towards G1. . I have no DC locks on the channels that are supposed to have the green light.
First thing this morning, I planned on changing out my single C-band feedhorn and lnb with a C/ku feed horn and lnbs. I moved the dish over to G1-3 where the reach from the ladder would have been easier for switching out the feedhorns, etc.
No green DC light on G1-3. No green DC lights anywhere on this satellite. Even the analog channels on G1 would not show up. I then proceeded to check out each of the satellites heading east one by one. No green DC lights and no analog channels where they are supposed to show up.
I get to W4 satellite. Everything okay. DC green lights, etc. I move back one satellite to W1 and I get the DC green light on the channels I am supposed to get the green light. Channel 400 (Resort and Residence) comes in the clear.
I move the dish to W5 -- 603. The color bars show up which were not there when I had moved the dish west.
I bypass Anik F1 and E1 to get to T7.
BUT, when I move the dish to T7 (121W)--same ol same ol. No green lights or free channels show up.
Other items checked out: 1. connections to the receiver and at the dish.
2. Polarity is correct.
3. Unplugged 920 for 60 seconds (scary thought about whether or not the 920 would WM back up).
Other information noted: This morning the trip counter had said 75 and channel count was about 4657. After the reboot, of course, the trip counter said 0, and the channel count increased to about 4850. This afternoon, the trip counter says 8 and the channel count is 5018.
Lastly, I do have two generic satellites programmed in -- CE (over T4) and CF (over T5).
What I am thinking is: I should check the TDT now (but I am not sure what option numbers to press and which diagnostic screen to look at) and then remove the two generic satellites I have programmed in.
I don't know if the mapping in the 920 is screw loose, or what is going on.
From what I have read on this forum today, "some one" out there could be messing around with the mapping, etc.
What should I do about my problem with the 920? Your thoughts?
My 922 is working perfectly. I have one subscription. The 920 does not.
Thanks!!!

Well, it's not an alignment problem. 
First of all, because I have two satellite receivers (922 and 920) and two satellite dishes, this is what I now tried -- is put both dishes on G1-5. Then disconnected the lnb from the 922 and connected the lnb from the 920 into the 922. Everything came in, including the IPG even though the colors on the guide were flickering. But...the guide worked.
Then I reconnected back to original and nothing came in on G1 on the 920. From this test, I learned is that the alignment of the dish is not the problem and the lnb is not the problem.
The trip counter on the 920 went down to 0 and the channel count went down to 4902. Nothing unplugged except the switch over of lnbs.
So, now I am back to having only eastern satellites and no western satellites.
Could the problem be within the receiver itself? Also, I still need to check the TDT count and would like to know how to do this.
Anyone?

Pissed off at the crappy healthcare costs
My health Insurance renewal for 2027 just came in. Going from $827 a month to $1,187 a month. Deductible going up a $1k to $9,350. Max out of pocket also going up $1k to $11,000. Doctor co-pay of $40. Urgent Care co-pay $50. ER 50% coinsurance after deductible. That's all in network. Out of network is double, should it be needed.
Have to think about this. I'm really tempted to just go without now. I only go to the doctor once or twice a year. I pay out of pocket for Tirzepitide and can do without the Rosuvastatin (crestor) now. Really tired of spending over $10k a year and getting nothing out of it.
After years with Blue Cross I switched last year to Ambetter as my Blue Cross premium was going from $1200 to $1800 for a Silver plan and the Bronze plan was still going to be $1300 at BCBS. Ambetter was $827 for the same coverage with a Bronze plan. Didn't think it would jump this much so soon.
I'm guessing a Silver plan is probably over $2,000 a month for 2027.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

I figured some of the guys would be looking here for an answer. You'll need to use this link
I'll mention what happened over there. I don't want to cause Scott any issues or put him in a bad spot.

Went and looked, not too bad...
Just let people know the address is satelliteretailer.com as DishRetailer.COM is not working.

EchoStar fixes some of its mess, but there's much more to mop up
EchoStar's satellite TV and Sling TV services have exited Chapter 11, but clouds still hover above Dish Wireless, which faces a multitude of lawsuits.

News about the tower's dispute-
Towercos now own Dish's 5G radios – and SpaceX might be a buyer
Tower companies now own Dish's deserted 5G gear, says American Tower CEO Steven Vondran. This could feed into SpaceX's mobile ambitions, analysts say.

So does this mean the churches and businesses that Dish owes back payments to are going to get paid now?
