Facebook scares me. Am I old?
Thought you were younger than me.
FB is only scary if you surf naked and pet sharks - and I gotta tell ya, millions are that dumb.
Doc and Joel are over there with me also beating sense into certain types of idiots.

That is true. I think losing one whole bird will effect Dish and Direct more than the others, particularly Direct

Keep us posted if you start getting a reading. Carrier will come first and then programming on that carrier next if all is good.
I wouldn't have notice unless it was for the forum and uplink reports. Totally solidifies my satellite geekiness for putting up a spare dish500 I had in the shed pointed to 72.7 just for kicks connected to the 1000.2. I think I will keep it there 
I don't watch my HD locals on satellite, I use the 2 OTA tuners, frees up the satellite tuners for other timers to fire.
Here's hoping it will be fixed by the morning and hope the prevent the issue next time.

What does this exactly mean and when Wed morning??
Just found this on 9news in Denver.
Just thought I would share it.

DENVER - DISH Network says it does not expect to be able to solve its signal problem with several channels until Wednesday morning.
Colorado-based DISH says there is an outage for many of its HD channels, including KUSA and KTVD, due to a "satellite anomaly." DISH says it is working to restore the channels overnight and expects to have them operational by Wednesday morning.
DISH says many customers can watch the channels in SD instead of HD while the problem is being resolved. To do that, customers can unplug their receiver from the main power source and plug it back in to see the SD channels.
The company first acknowledged the problem through its Twitter feed on Tuesday afternoon.
When 9NEWS contacted DISH, we were told there are signal problems in several states, including Colorado
, Texas and Ohio.
At 5 p.m., DISH posted this message on its Facebook page: "We are currently experiencing an interruption affecting the 129 orbital satellite location. We have identified the issue and are working as quickly as possible to get your channels restored. We apologize for the inconvenience."
Both the HD channels for KUSA and KTVD are down, along with many other stations. Our technical experts say it may be an uplink problem with a satellite since the SD channels are available and are on a different satellite.

The disgronificator tripped out on the satellite and the whole hard drive has to be reformatted and reloaded before they can reboot it and start updates.
WRONG! But thank you internet, I learned something new! http://www.merriam-webster.com/cgi-bin/audio.pl?sphygm02.wav=sphygmomanometer

looks like the timers on my 722k are automatically recording in SD.
sweet.
no big deal for me.
But the two new customers I installed HD systems for today are both a bit bummed.
I've also had about a dozen phone calls from existing customers regarding this issue.
I'm getting a good script going for telling them how to work around it for now.

Maybe they forgot to pay their bill? Or maybe it's another dispute. I hope not because that could take months. Kidding btw.
