ESPNHD and Discovery HD out?

[SatinKzo]

Anyone else lose both these channels? Did 110 tp 17 go south? I'm having problems with no other channels or TP's.

Haven't lost either channel here in NW Florida.

 

[SatinKzo]

Thanks for the response. I wonder if my lnb is flaking out then, but odd that I am only missing those two channels.

Can someone check Sat 110 Trans 17?

I am only getting 60% signal on transponder 17 on 110. Everything else is in the 90-100 range. ESPN HD is on transponder 17. I don't have another DPP Twin to try right now and wondered if someone can check on their system that way i know whether the problem is on my end or not. thanks.

I'm seeing low signal strengh on this transponder the last few days as well. Mine is 55%. Others on 110 are in the 70-90 range.

Someone in another thread said he had lost ESPN HD.

Both threads should be merged. To the OP, it looks like something is definitely going on with TP17.

Just checked my setup, only getting 62 percent on that transponder. Granted, there is light snow flurries going on, but the "home" transponder on the 119 and 110 (transponder 11) is showing 105 and 94, respectively, with the D1000 I have.

Thanks Iceberg. I'm not at home so I can't check. Maybe others can chime in......

i'm getting signal strength of around 68-70 on espnhd. i have a dish 1000 and used to get in the 80's on espnhd. i also noticed the video pausing on discovery hd the other night. never seem that before.

I get 75 on that transponder. It is lower than most.

 

[SatinKzo]

Well, I am still without ESPNHD or Discovery HD. I actually have a signal on that TP now though whereas yesterday I did not. I am getting 41%. All other TP are above 75%.

Dish tech support is no help as usual. Seems so odd that some are reporting problems and others are not with only 1 TP.

Both my 211 and 622 are having the problem. I have pulled all plugs, pulled power on DPP44 switch, removed all coax connections and re attached. Still nothing.

I'm getting 73 on that transponder on my 211. I went back to my logs and I was getting 87 earlier this year. I don't have the HD package anymore so I can't see if I get pixelations.

level down here

tp 17 is down to 58 here.

I'm was getting 59% on discovery HD a day or two ago and now I'm getting 83%. I have changed nothing and the weather has been decent, so its probably something at Dish's end!

 

[SatinKzo]

Well, the 2 channels are back for me now. TP is almost 90% I have had no weather issues the past few days to expliain why I lost only those 2 channels and only got 41% signal on TP17.

 

[RandallA]

TP17 on 110 is back at 87 for me. Glad to hear you got them back. Weather has been the same for the last few days, sunny and clear.

 

[whatchel1]

Back up too

My SS is back up to 85% which means the problem was hardware or software on the E* side. May have been a problem at the uplink.

 

[brg606]

discovery hd video was pausing last night during american chopper. signal strength was around 87. wtf? anyone else have this problem?

I have never had a issue with either channel so if someone haveing issue my first guess would be the install. Or issue with some the equipment which would be the Dish or receiver.
