Poor HD reception on 129 with my ViP722

[cgtyoder]

Things have been working just fine for me with my ViP722 but a couple weeks ago, the reception on 129 for my HD channels started getting progressively worse. So now I am missing DVR events because of it and something has to be done. It is intermittent and I have zero physical blockage of the dish - satellites 110 and 119 have no problem receiving. (We thought it might be due to poor winter weather but now it's clear or at worst cloudy and the problem still persists.) The last time I called Dish tech support of course everything started working just fine while I was on the phone. Power-cycling the receiver hasn't helped. Is there anything I can try to get this resolved short of a technician visit?

Check for LNB drift, check for alignment.

Call and ask to be connected to USA cutomer service rep or contact one of our DIRT reps here. Dish should send a tecn out ASAP and they will check your system. Most likey your reflector needs to be peaked.

I agree it's most likely the lnb.
