I've got a Vip211 and use a Terk HDTVi (I'm switching to a CM 4228 around x-mas) for my locals here in Montgomery(36117). I get great reception through the 211 on all channles and they got even stronger when I added a CM 7777 pre-amp. However, I used to get my local Fox station at 72% strength. That all changed about a month ago. Now, the signal comes in at 35% and then drops out. I tried troubleshooting like soft and hard resets and that didn't bring it back. I called the station and they said everything was o.k. with thier signal. I tried taking the amp off completely. Those who have other OTA receivers in my area get the Fox station just fine while all of us with any Vip receiver have lost a signal that we used to get. (Even with other antennas such as the 4228). The signal just won't lock on. It used to be there and my troubleshooting leads me to beleive there is an issue with the 211. I called Dish and, of course, they weren't much help. Does anyone know of problems with the 211 all-of-the-sudden not being able to get a signal that it used to get? Does any one know what the issue might be? If it's not the antenna and not the local station then it has to be the 211. Anyone know a fix?
