My signal's coming and going, between functional, and partial and complete signal loss. Receiver seems to be on 77. Dish not answering their phone and their online login says the system is currently not available. Someone's hiding.
Check signal in the menu, has 3 columns. The first is 13,16,20,21 and the other two are headed by receiver 1 and receiver 2 icons. Their values after running the test are 37,35,35,44 and 46,39,38,46. No idea what that means...

Spot beams on 61.5 are holding. Otherwise every transponder on 61.5, 72.7, & 77 are up and down. You can watch the signal plummet while you're checking the strength. It's waxing and waning for some reason.
Wouldn't make much sense,my wife is watching her 722 and its on western arc.Hasn't skipped a beat.
Good then it is not me. I was getting rather peeved off at all the receivers showing the stupid Acquiring Satellite Signal and cursing FiOS for still not being available here. Glad it is not the weather or a problem with our dish or switch.
Had to go to OTA here for the NASCAR race... WGXA/Macon was gone from DISH. Haven't checked here to see if it's back.
Edit: Checked, and it's back now.

On Eastern Arc; without knowing what bird I was on, I had complete signal loss around these same times while watching Encore. When the receiver recovered, I switched to one of my locals (on 61.5), and then that became pixelated before going to total signal loss.
As I can see the stars in the sky, I just figured either my 722 was dying or Dish was having issues. After regaining signal I had a few more outages, but its been stable now.

Some EA is uplinked from Gilbert, Az and they are having some weather events there.
National Weather Service Watch Warning Advisory Summary
Since they are pointing east through the storm it's no wonder the signal wasn't reaching the satellite. If they had increased the uplink power in Gilbert and increased the satellite's gain as the storm moved in way then they could have recovered any loss, but it seems like no one was awake at Gilbert TOC. And also since 72 is a Canadian satellite they might not have direct access to making such on the fly changes from Gilbert. But in Cheyenne I am sure they have access to send a command to increase gain on board 72.
