Just lost 110 & 119- what's going on?

prediction

i would predict that dish did not have an uplink center out
i think the real problem was the hurricane clouds were too thick and blocked the signal from being received
from what i understand the satellites are in the gulf coast=texas
this is just a prediction and may not be accurate
note dish may be telling you the truth but i just like to predict

lost some again, good thing i was watching on delay so i didn't have to sit through it

Why don't you drop it? Everybody has there interests. Many people like to watch tv. I'm sure you have your own interests as well. When satellite goes out this is the first place most of us come to get the scoop.

Why don't I drop it? Because I am allowed to have an opinion.
I don't have a problem with people coming here. but we are over 24 hours past it and people are still going on about it. It was out for 10 minutes, not 10 days.

then blame God, not Dish, Dude! Give a $1 less in the collection plate next Sunday. Dish can't control where the storm clouds go.

Yes, the satellites are in the general direction of the Gulf Coast and Texas, but they are located at the Equator and are 22,500 miles up in space. I highly doubt a hurricane cloud reaches that high up.

A lot more than 10 mins here.

Come here i show you some strom clouds,it rains here every day like a monsoon and still no signal fade,as for god, whos blaming god.I'm blaming dish because they should have a backup period!Hey when your dvr'ing and rec that's the problem.

 

[Bill1767]

Also dish can't control squat

I now keep the Cheyenne NOAA Weather page as a bookmark. Just dropped transponders....and lo and behold, it looks like a storm is rolling through.

Yep was watching CNN 129 TP 11 and picture froze. Rebooted and CNN came in from 61.5 this time.

Yup, just had another incident (1/2 hour ago); lost HSN, TBS-HD, etc. and my screen showed 61.5/110/119 lost.

This is getting really annoying: I have Dish for 2 years now and don't ever recall this happening before. I will, however, defer to those more experienced in these matters. I know that it makes SENSE that weather at the uplink center would cause a disruption, I guess it's just that it seems that the severity of the weather required to trigger the problem is getting less and less.

 

[reddice]

Mine went out a couple of times too about 6. No rain and it is clear here. I have Dish since 2005 and the only time it goes out is when we have bad storms. Guess they are still having problems.

 

[nath12]

I've had dish for 6 years and I don't remember it every going out because of weather conditions at the uplink. They use huge dishes up there, I wouldn't think any amount of rain could cause this type of failure.
