I just had a total picture and connection loss for the first time since ive been with Dish. I had to do reset of the switches twice to return picture to the Hopper.....and then again to restore my joey. Is the supermoon messing with our service?

If your antenna is pointed SW (western Arc) they had a weather outage at the uplink in Wyoming this afternoon.
The storm was heavy enough that even their huge dishes were not able to penetrate it to get signal to the satellite.

Ahhh, that must have been what I saw yesterday.
On a semi-related issue, I had the World Cup Encore on (on 140 or 144, can't remember) and I got the signal-loss screen and it flipped to the SD feed on it's own. After quite a while (I wasn't sitting down watching - I was doing other things around the house), I noticed it's still on the SD feed. I thought it should have cleared up by now and toggled back, but it hadn't. So I hit CH-UP and the next channel was in HD, then CH-DOWN back to the channel I was watching and it was also in HD (now).
Was the timing just a fluke ? Doesn't the receiver (shouldn't say just the Hopper as I seem to recall my 722k did it as well) 'check' the feed and change back ? How often ?

I've had the hopper automatically switch to the sd channel a couple of times but it has never automatically switched back to the hd feed. Always had to manually do it.

I'm 99% certain I've seen it (a Dish receiver) flip back to the HD channel on it's own. That's why I was confused. Now I wonder if it "checks" by taking a peek by using a free tuner ? There should have been one available as well, in fact, no one else was watching TV in the house nor was anything recording.
