MPEG2 Western Arc shutoff

[blatimer1983]

It was definitely very difficult and pain for installers getting signal from 129 lol. Good news is aiming for 110 and 119 sats are a lot easier to manage.

Do you have PTAT enabled? I have hit that 60% issue before during a check status test. After a lot of troubleshooting, discovered it was because PTAT was recording. Even if you disable PTAT now it still will not work because PTAT is already doing its thing. Try performing a check status in the morning and see how goes it, unless you already have PTAT not enabled.

You are correct. I forgot that checking satellite strength does not work during PTAT. As I get older I forget things.

I'm not yet in Prime Time. I just did a check switch and I see 119 and 110 with green check marks and Connected (where 129 was) with red Xs. I saw the same before the check.

Can you try a check switch again after you are in PTAT time and see if it works or gets hung up at 60%?

I'll have to wait for about 1 1\2 hours. Watching something right now.

Yep, no more disappointing SD signals when the best I can get is a 110/119 shot through a small gap in the trees at a campsite.

That looks normal to me. The interface would look the same if you were missing 129 pre-shutdown, like if your skew was off or something.

When I turned on my Hopper 3 and TV today, it performed an auto-check switch (I didn't initiate it) and it paused briefly at about 60% and then resumed after about 30 seconds and then completed. Then it did a guide update (and programming was displaying during the guide update). I checked in the Dish diagnostics screen and 110/119 have green checkmarks while 129 has red X's.

I can confirm that I also have the red X "Conn" column. But as other said, everything else works correctly.

It's a little odd because when I looked very early the morning of the 20th, when 129 went dark, I didn't have the red X "Conn" column, just the 119/110 columns.

But as I said, everything works, so no biggie.

That's what I am seeing on my hopper 3 that I still have hooked up to the satellite. I ran a check switch and reboot and it still shows it.

I came here to catch up on the 129 transition and this thread made me smile. It reminded of years past when I had more free time to be a part of this community. So glad to see it's still around and thriving!
