Over the weekend we had a heavy overcast and on Sat. Night I started getting breakup on 118.7 Transponder 9. Checking the signal level on the Point Dish menu, showed I had a signal level in the mid 60's which is normal. However it would drop just for a sec. to something below 10 for just a sec. Transponder 8, which is my other LIL HD transponder had the same problem, but to a much lesser degree. I have not had this porblem before. Normally if I lose a signal due to weather, it goes away and I have to wait for the weather to clear. The weather cleared this morning and the problem is gone. Is this just a weather issue, that type of cloud cover has not been a problem before, or is there likely another issue?
 
Sounds like you have another issue if the signal is randomly dropping on a clear day. I live in Raleigh, if you were closer I would offer to take a look. Just call dish, add the DHPP if you don't already have it.
