As a 4DTV user I am ROTFLMAO.

Dish is who we buy the service from, we blame them, they blame SES.

Considering it's not even Dish's property, all they do is lease space, blaming it on them is idiotic.

but some people will

:clap Yes, thanks Scott and also to the DIRT team for all the updates.

Right........I second that opinion too! We can really be thankful for ALL of the helpful members on this team.

Didn't mean to forget them at all.
Thanks again..........Good Night All!

I dont understand why. All we did was lose HD on most channels. Its not like a complete outage

It was Grail, I thought I told you that?

Seriously though, some of the causes, in truth may never be told.....​

There's what's shared publicly and what circulates internally.

Would love to see the RCA on this one.

We have two dish receivers....connected to four tv's...the Dvr receiver for the master bedroom and living room is coming up with the total signal loss message but when I go to the other tv's with no DVR they still have signal...when I contacted Dish via chat before their chat went down they said it was a satellite issue...how is that possible if one of the receivers in the house still has signal?

are the other receivers SD or HD?

Hi Simon!

I am willing to bet that everyone who has ever posted that is lying.

 

[Frank Jr.]

What ever the direct cause was or is, I still think for such a complete wide spread problem, the satellite lost it's proper orientation. Just my swag....(stupid wild *ss guess)

I got a call from an Aunt that lives on a Ranch, she can't hear that well and her Husband is nearly blind so If things are no better in the morning I will be heading out there to get them going in the morning... I tried to walk them thru it but...

Hi Simon!

EDDIE! Dang man! You were early to the "good fight" - now that we're over on Facebook, I've missed your thoughts!

Facebook scares me. Am I old?

This shows why satellite companies have backups and how fragile they really are.

That would apply to all the "cable" channels, as well, as they up available ONLY on satellite for cable, IPTV, FiOS and DBS to receive and re-transmit, and those channels are often grouped on "neighborhoods" so even just ONE satellite failure means buh-bye to a whole slew of pay TV channels.

Would love to see the RCA on this one.

Wouldn't we both.

Hey Simon, long time no see

Hi guys! Been a LONG time.

I saw a post from someone about timers not switching over from HD to SD. That's not quite right.

Possibly depending on receiver model (622 here), and channel number (use the low ones), it WILL switch, but you might have to reboot the box.
I am in the old habit of using the 9xxx channel numbers for "cable" channels due to an old bug with SD/HD selection, and they will NOT switch.
Locals using 2-digit numbers probably will, but if you use the 4-digit numbers, they won't.

AND = this is post #500 = what do I win?

I have the 922 and my timers have not automatically switched, even after reboot. None of my wife's programs recorded upstairs on the 722 either.
