Cannot recall this ever happening, but for some reason my mercury2 (backup system receiver on DG380 motor) will just decide to stop receiving RTV or Tuff TV. And apparently anything else on AMC9.
My other dish is parked on Pentagon channel for the Battlefield marathon weekend, so I moved this Mercury over to 83, worked for 2-3hours and while I was watching it just now-the channel just disappeared! Tuff TV gone too, it's like the dish moved off the bird but I don't think it did. I moved it to 79 and KTEL works fine, rebooted it and it still refuses to play RTV lol. Too dark and I can't see the dish right now to tell if it really has moved-just never had this one happen before. The old merc2 has been rock-solid for months, mostly stays on 97 since I use the Icon receiver/dish setup most of the time. Tonight it has become unruly!
