Is 61.5 still not transmitting?

[hillsmi]

Receive a good check switch and signal from 61.5, but still no PI / locals off the bird.

Is it still down from the weekend? Anyone else receiving any 61.5 channels? Which ones?

Thanks

61.5 was and is working fine. It was 77 that was (and is) having issues.

If your not getting 61.5 then you have some other problem.

Any idea what the 'other problem' could be?

As stated, I have a good check switch and signal from 61.5. The dish is solid and hasn't moved, been hit, budged, etc. If the LNB was bad, I would assume I wouldn't get a lock and signal, and it wouldn't show up during the check switch test.

This all started Sunday afteroon when they were having issues with 77. Were receiving 61.5 channels Saturday evening, then next time the system was turned on for use Sunday afternoon, there were no 61.5 channels.

Any thoughts?

Can you give me an example of a couple channels that do not work? Are you getting the signal loss message?

9393 3ABN for one (since Sun afternoon)

I'm not in tune with which channels come from which birds. If you could provide me with a few channels that are on 61.5 with the Dish Family pkg, I'll check them and get back to you whether or not I am receiving them.

I've got the DF pkg with Flint, Bay City MI locals.

try this SatelliteGuys.US_TheList - Subscription List

according to the list, 9393 is on the 72.7

I've been receiving 9393 from 61.5 for quite some time now (unless they just moved it to 72.7 in the last few days)

I've got a 61.5 wing to D500

If you press "info" on your remote twice, you'll see which satellite the feed is coming in from. Upper left hand side of screen. 61.5 works fine for me.

A list confirms removal of 9393 from 61.5.

Can anyone confirm that 9393 has moved to 72.7?

They are sending someone to erect a 1000.4 on Fri, due to a call I made because I couldn't receive 9393.

But if 9393 isn't available at all, then the 1000.4 will do me no good.

Thanks

I just tuned in to 9393 and it shows coming from 61.5 in the info banner.

EDIT: I checked the signal meter and it was set on SAT 72 - XPONDER 22 which matches the list. I would say the info banner needs updating.

 

[hillsmi]

Good to know.

Thank you all for the updates and info.
