We've been having trouble with 119 the past two weeks or so. On hot, sunny days channels on this sat either won't come in at all, or intermittently drop out with the searching for sat error message. On cooler days, there is no problem at all. We thought that a tree had grown in the way, but over the holiday weekend we had no troubles. It was cooler here in Indianapolis over the weekend.

So my question is, if it is the tree, would the tree cause it to drop out intermittently, or would the signal just be lost completely? Dish had us check for drift, but there was none on 119. Signal strength on 119 kept moving from 0 to around 15. (110 was in the mid-70s and 61.5 was around 50 to 55).

About the only channel on 119 we watch is BBC-America and we listen to a couple of the SiriusXM stations, so it's not that great of a loss, but it is messing up the guide.

Thanks for any advice.

David
