All the Conus is live.
My receivers are picking up NO Spotbeams.
Anyone else Missing Locals?

Odd, I wonder if I have a issue with my dish or something. Everything seemed fine this morning for me.

87? , I haven't seen a strength that high since 2007, before the scaled the meter down off the 61.5 no less. What receiver do you have?

I have dialed in to a number of Slingboxes I have access too around and looks like the spotbeams from 61.5 are down all over.

I am monitoring the situation.

Down here in Philly DMA. No problems with national HD channels, just Philly locals.

I can Call, But you know what will happen.
I can't handle being told to reset my receiver by 1 more CSR.
I'll Snap!:rant:

Maybe there was a bigger reason why dish didn't put those 9 national HD channels on 61.5. Just a thought.
