WRAL, losing signal, bright sunny day

[zim2dive]

I've gotten a "lost signal" message twice now during the NCSU game on WRAL (6466) .. if 65F with not a cloud in the sky ?!!?!

All I have to do is channel up (to another local ch) and right back down and it comes back.. anyone else?

i would have to guess your using either a 622 or 722

622.

Whats maybe interesting is that (from memory) the message usually (during bad weather) gives a satellite # and transponder #.

In this case, my sat # is blank, transponder #10.

Do you run any other HDMI Item though your tv. like i have a ps3 that uses another hdmi cable completely on another port on the tv but when i switch to the ps3 via tv remote i start getting this problem but if i press and hold power button on the dvr and restart it it goes away til i run the ps3 again

I have 3 HDMI inputs on my TV.

You are suggesting a *different* HDMI on the *TV* is affecting reception on my *622* ?? (that would be wacked)

Thats what i think it is and i can reproduce it everytime i try just that. I think its a software glitch maybe some how the dvr dont know what to do when signal is lost when switching between the HDMI's

Huh? My TV is set to the HDMI input from the DVR and has stayed that way.

could of days ago i switch to HDMI2 on my tv and watched a movie on my ps3 switched it back after movie and problem started back to HDMI1 and everytime i get into something on the DVR thats when i start having problems. thats all i know. This happens each and every time.

This thread seems a much more likely explanation.

If Dish isn't getting a direct feed from WRAL (not sure how that part works), you could be seeing what other people have seen with WRAL's OTA signal which is still not at full strength, and will not be until the end of February at the earliest.

I've never seen this happen before... and I did just add an OTA timer for one of the PBS subchannels, and that timer did experience a lot of signal interruption (since PBS is the only local we have that doesn't come from the same antenna farm as everything else which my antenna is aimed for), and the OTA timer was during the early part of the game....the coincidences line up pretty well.

On the other hand, I don't watch any(?) CBS, so I guess its not a fair statement when I say "I've never seen this happen before" so that could be it.

Given how NCSU played yesterday, its a shame the signal didn't stay lost
