Where did my HD channels just go?

[JT525]

I just lost half of my HD channels. No ESPN2 ( I was watching the game), STARZHD, the Vooms. WTF? Anybody else?

You've got to put another quarter in the smart card slot to keep watching...
seriously though.. you probably lost 129 or 61.5 reception.since thats where all the channels you describe come from.. do you have a dish1000 or a seperate dish?

people complaining in the main forum of losing satellite signal, could be due to that, dont know whats going on with dish lately.

 

[JT525]

I have 3 dishes (lots of trees) not sure what they are exactly, but I have a 622 and it appears as though I've lost all of the mpeg4 channels. I had lost sat 105 for a while, then it came back and downloaded new program guide info. Presto Chango - no mpeg4.

Do a check switch.

 

[JT525]

Thanks, but I've done 3 check switches tonight. After being on the phone with Tech, apparently I've lost 129 completely. Service call on Monday.
For what's it worth my HD guide says channel 5710 TEST. Oh well back to watching the Yanks/Sox in SD.

Speaking of Channel 5710 TEST, does anyone know what this is for? Could this be for TBS?

Oh... I was going to ask did you accidentally change your preferences? I did that once and lost all my SD channels.

I'd assume they're testing how the transponder it's on handles one more mpeg 2 channel on it, but I don't know. Anyway, there are lots of threads on this.
