lost the 119 signal

[putterboy]

Greetings, I have recently lost the 119 signal, showing all zero's on the signal meter. I'm in zip 01001, hr20 with 2 lines in, no switches. Would possible culprit be a faulty lnb, or possibly change in my LOS ? Dish still seems rock solid and level, pole mount. If the LYNGSAT info page is correct, I'm only losing the sd locals, which I don't watch anyway. Any suggestions appreciated- thanks

Not only will you lose your locals, but the guide data, also. It comes from the 119 satellite. Are your signal levels good on the other sats? Can you post them? It could be a bad lnb or los. How about a picture from behind the dish? 119 is pretty low in this part of the country.

101 sat=== 93 to 100, 110sat==95 to 97, 99c==82 to 92, 103 ca==72 to 88 ,103cb==57 to 79 --maybe some new tree growth causing change in los?

It looks like your signal levels degrade as you go west, so maybe a realignment will bring back 119.

the guide is on 101, not 119

My understanding is when you have a 5 lnb, it comes from 119, and with a 3 lnb, it comes from 101.

It comes from 101 on the 5 lnb also.

It comes from 101 on the 5 lnb also.

Is this something new? I recall posters having issues with guide data when 119 was blocked.

It comes from 101 on the 5 lnb also.

I've done a little research, and unless Directv has changed something, guide data comes from 119 with a 5 lnb setup, and 101 with the 3 lnb.
