Is Dish Satellite 129 Not Operating Again?

[Pete Ratowski]

Left the house and the ballgames for 2 hours and returned and both my receivers no longer have the 129 satellite. Is it not operating again like several days ago. Can Dish tell us what it happening to 129?

Watching SNF on my 129 HD Local & no problems switching around either.

129 is fine here.

My 722 DVR is now receiving 129 but my 612 does not receive 129 yet. I unplugged it and am waiting on program guide to update. Hopefully, it will have 129 when it finishes. How can this happen when both units are hooked to the same dish?

gremlins?

but honestly 129W has worked fine all day. Watch NFL football on my locals which are on 129

 

[Pete Ratowski]

Both my units are now working fine. The 722 came back by itself. The 612 had to be unplugged to get 129 back on it. My sister lives across the golf course down aways from us and hers were down for 129 but came back by themselves. Thanks. Good to know you are still out there Iceberg.

Good to know you are still out there Iceberg.

Of course I'm still here.

sounds like you need to call Dish and ask them to re-point your dish in the right direction, if you are still having issues at 129, that means you weren't getting great reception before 129 went out. it's been working fine for me since they fixed it.

Sounds like he has a switch or LNBF problem. Needs to run check switch and if the 129 LNBF is now red (not working)

LNB could be getting hot (close to failure) ...
