??? Not sure what you tried here but 129 should work fine as long as you can get signal.
Well my 61.5 wing dish is mounted in a position that I cant swing it over to 129 unless I remount it.

I did tried my FTA dish. I did the switch check and it showed 110,119 and 129, but I couldn't get any picture or sound.

fyi I e-mailed this thread to ceo@dishnetwork.com yesterday afternoon.

As of right now, I have all of the channels back, but I will keep an eye out.

Discovery HD has to be my favorite channel and I missed having my Survivorman reruns not showing. :(

Back up here in West palm beach area.

Guess they must have gotten an engineer in over the weekend.

Did they change anything on the sattelite? Add/remove a transponder or power?

That's pretty much a given there. If I was leasing a bird I'd lighten the load on my owned bird as much as possible.

I had the same problem with my 61.5 wing dish here in Zephyrhills, Florida. I called tech support and reported the problem. The first tech person could not understand my problem and after doing a hard reset, check switch she transfered me to an american tech,he said I obviously had a connection problem out on the dish itself. After reading this thread and seeing that yall got your back up, I checked mine. Sure enough they are all working again. I called and cancelled my service appt.

All is well here in Jax too. I think DN could have handled the problem a little smoother. Hopefully they learned something from the whole ordeal.

I just received this response to an e-mail I sent to DN tech support over the weekend. My confidence is restored. :)

"Thank you for your e-mail. We were experiencing an issue over the weekend. I have consulted with our technical operations department and they have advised that the issue should be resolved now. Are you still experiencing this issue?"
