About 1-2 times a day, I get the screen that shows the receivers are "searching for satellite signal". I've seen it happen on both of my receivers (322/522). Do any of you experience this? It happens even on clear days, and takes about 2-3 minutes for the signal to come back. Could this have something to do with dish alignment, or is it something that I should get used to?
Intermittent satellite loss...

Maybe a tree branch swaying in the way? you might consider tweaking the dish a little.... waht are your normal signal strengths.
I'd be suprised if it was a tree branch. I have a great line-of-sight, and the dish stands well above any trees (it's mounted on the roof of my house). I believe that signal strength is OK, but I haven't checked it in a while.
Middle of night event and dual recordings
Two weeks to 5 weeks ago on 921 recorded, hour-long, HDNET First Monday I would get "Acquiring signal" at about 4:40 AM MDT each night plus/minus 1 minute. I have seen it occasionally at other times. It only lasts a couple of seconds.
Show is now repeated at an earlier time so I'm not looking. I think I had it on a coincident recording of Discovery HD on one night.
I've had at least one recording failure "0 minutes" attributable to simultaneous recordings. I stagger them a minute now.

Bravehog: Please tell us your signal strengths on 110 & 119 transponders 11 & 12, plus any other satellites you've got hooked up.
