Pentagon Channel Down?

[guapoharry]

I'm having trouble seeing the Pentagon Channel on 103ºW There's no S or Q. But, I can see the Black Shopping Channel. So then, the bird and my system seems OK.

 

[guapoharry]

Whew! It's back now..

 

[guapoharry]

Oops, it's out again on one system and fading on another. Wonder where the uplink is?

 

[guapoharry]

Wonder if it's in the DC-MD-VA triad

I don't have a dish pointed at that. However you can rule out that the uplink has any issues because it is showing without any problems on Dish Chl 9405 without issues.

If you can access G28 @89 degrees you'll be able to see the Pentagon Channel . At least it will tell you if there is a problem.

If Dish is picking it up via satellite, its probably the C-Band feed they are getting. C-Band rarely has rain fade issues
