Channel Loss On 99W

I'm with you. It can't be our problem since more than one of us is having the same problem. I'm still wondering what's going on with the 3813 MUX. I liked those stations and can't get anything on any of them. I do get the FOX station out of Springfield. I never watch it. I have never found anything on it worth watching. I'd trade it for THIS anytime. Just in case I don't make it back in here before Tuesday, Happy 4th of July gang.

I just looked at the VI mux (have it as 3812 H 8029) and it's coming in here with a fairly high and consistent Q on a 10' SAMI.

Interesting. I just edited the transponder information to yours and it improved a bit, but they are still not receiving them well enough to watch them. Thanks for the info.
 

Yes MeTV was off this afternoon (Sunday) on 99.0W for Columbo but luckily picked it up on SES1C 101.0W. Checked back later and it was back up on 99.0W so they are definitely playing games.

Something's going on that's for sure. I still have one movable dish and it was off on it and the stationary 12 foot dish. They've been fickle for some time. I've had them go off right in the middle of watching a program and had to move to another satellite to get them.

Good to know I'm not the only one getting periodic weak signals on 99W, and it was only some channels. Haven't tried watching anything on there in a couple weeks.

Titanium and I believe the problem lies with terrestrial interference of some sort. I just ordered a roll of Quad Shield RG6 cable. It's an experiment to see if the interference could be piggy-backing on the coax, entering the system that way. It's a long shot, but I am willing to try different things. If it works, I'll let you know. I can't imagine it entering the system via the dish since it doesn't affect the satellites on either side of 99W.

There's nothing but open sky in front of the dish, and I am down in a narrow valley between 4 mountains. If the quad shield cable cures it, it will be a cheap fix. I saw this before when the Puerto Rican MUX went out for 6 months, and then started working again. Now, three of the channels in the PR MUX are working, with a weak signal, and now Movies and MeTV Ozark are acting up. I had trouble with the GDMX channels for a while, but haven't had trouble with them for over a year. I'll keep you posted.

Did you by any chance notice a signal increase on MeTV HD over the weekend? I was running at 50/48%, and now it's running at 60/55%. I don't have the drop outs I had earlier, and H&I, Decades and Movies have increased by 10 points as well. Haven't had as much problems with MeTV Ozarks and Movies on Galaxy 16 either. I even watched THIS, the Caribbean and Puerto Rican channels over the weekend. I couldn't get those at all a few weeks ago.
