Hello,
My signal began to go out a couple weeks ago to the point that I now only get my local channels on 119 and the 110 channels. My signal strength is great for 110, like near 100%, for 119 it is 75% for some channels (the ones I get) and 35-45% for other channels, I do not get these or they go in and out. I thought it might be some branches from a tree in the way... so I had a guy come out and he cut down a couple trees and trimmed some branches... I think he got the right ones (not totally sure), but it made no difference at all. I called Dish and they said it sounds like a cable problem. Went up on my roof and switched out ALL the cables, this is not the problem. Called again and they said it sounds like it could be a bad horn... I have an extra one so I went on the roof again and switched out a different horn, that's not it either!
What on earth could the problem be??? Dish now says they will charge me just to come and look at the setup, then charge me again depending on the problem. I am seriously considering just switching to DirecTV so I can get their new customer deal and a fresh setup and even their Tivo thing, which I do not have with Dish... But jeez... What could it be??? I miss my TV!!! Help me please! 
Anyone? Advice? It's been awhile since I watched all my fave channels! My Soapnet, my Lifetime, my Food Network, my TCM, my BBCA... I'd be most grateful for any advice or anything...
Bette
