I found this in the Tech. Portal. It looks like there will be changes to the Point Dish Signal meter and that receivers will lose signal at 10 pts or less and signal above 17 pts will be enough to provide signal. By adjusting this meter, there will loss as much as 40 pts. from the current signal readings.
Also a new yellow status will be added to the Sys Info screen. It will show when the signal is marginal (11 to 17 pts).
For the Power Point file (too big to attach):

A tech who just left here after putting a "low noise" LNB up in-place of the standard one for 129 showed me the tech sheet on this signal strength change and yes, while it will freak some of us out, at least initially, in the long-term, it's an improvement because signal strength readings will be uniform across all the receivers, which will make installs and problem diagnosis faster/easier...but I agree, it'll take some time getting used to the adjusted readings.
The new LNB increased my average signal strength on 129 by 8-15 points (average) across all the TPs and the 30-point swing, while it still happens, doesn't cause signal lock to be lost. Now, whether this resolves the loss-of-signal issue, that remains to be seen, but if not, then we'll add a 24" dish out there (much as I dislike the idea of becoming something that looks like an uplink center) and resolve the problem permanently, assuming the LNB doesn't resolve it.
We'll see...

On a D1000. Turned out not to resolve the problem.
So, he put that LNB on a 24" dish and now I have two dishes, but my 129 HD issue is resolved! 
Watched several programs on several channels and no loss-of-signal!! If there were a "happy feet" smilie, I'd use it.

umm i just got done this new point dish screen. I AM STILL CONFUSE. why fix it if its not broken.

Can you post a picture of a label , model number, batch number ?

But.....if you like Tulsa King....looks like you would probably like this as well. I don't mind spin-offs as long as they don't involve a sassy niece who moves from the big cityAnother Tulsa King spin off.
I thought I would come here and find lots of complaints about the update to the dish anywhere mobile app, but am not seeing any. It used to look just like the desktop webpage. Now you can no longer filter by sports channels or movie channels. Plus that they made it look like a big button telephone and you see fewer channels in the screen which requires more scrolling. Yes I realize you can look at sports then select which sport you want to look at, I just liked being able to see all sporting events in the guide with all other channels being filtered out. Am I alone in the wilderness on this?

Anyone else watch this show? Any guesses as to what was in the box Gibbs gave to Abby that was on her desk? It look liked it was glowing.
I also heard that someone was leaving the show at the end of this season. Any guesses as to who thats going to be?

Tony as the director.
Would you rather have LaRoche ???Tony as the director.
No. Bring in someone new.
Tony is not serious enough for me. Parker is too close to the team and Tim is too young to take over IMO.
I don't think Tim and Tony are that far apart in Age ...No. Bring in someone new.
Remember what Tony said to Tim when they first got back together ...
Tony said: I am the New Tony, Tim .... (something to that effect)
Tony has changed, he's been running his Security Business ... I'm sure he has grown up.
Give it time ... your judging the New Tony from the old Tony.
It sounds like Tim won't be around the Team much longer either.

Might be worth a watch when it comes out. Looks like typical big corp against the little guy movie BUT....there is a reason this plot type is so oft repeated, it draws audiences.

If you're going try to read / listen to the book (can't recommend the audio book enough) before this comes out, I'd avoid trailers.
Trailer below, spoiling it to make sure you read the above bold message first. The book / audio book are fantastic. Go into this blind if you can IMO!
Kind of disappointed at how much they show. A lot still to see, but man, some good reveals in the book that are just served up here.

Browns lose a close one with... The Jets. That is a classic Browns loss (granted, any loss is a classic one it seems). 49'ers, Vikings, and Chiefs remain undefeated. The AFC north have a three way tie at 3-2 for second place.
A big win for the Patriots, and they are now 3-2.

I had quit watching this show years ago because I ended up more annoyed than entertained. Well......I'm STILL more annoyed than entertained. I DO find it interesting to see how things work behind the scenes at many businesses. What annoys me is how utterly out of touch CEOs are with the companies they run. At the end of almost every episode the head of the company is amazed at how hard the employees have to work and many times have to work around impossible guidelines set forth from headquarters.
I found this one interesting because the new CEO had big plans for this company, Muscle Maker Grill, and it looked like the stores were all pretty busy. Recent history hasn't been good to this company however. I bet the covid lockdowns were the real killer.
