This is good to know Just lost it here too ! Everything else looks OK but 0 Signal on 129 Was beginning to think I may have lost a LNB

 

[RaymondG@Dish Network]

Iceberg is correct, we are experiencing an issue with 129 and are working to get it restored as soon as possible.

Maybe they should try unplugging the power cord for 30 seconds and replugging?

 

[Walker1]

No signal again! I'm getting tired of see that same F ing screen mes. on this POS. I have had this recurring problem for several mos. now. All they tell me is CALL when dish goes out. I DID call for the last 30 mins. & the line is BUSY! Cable is looking good right now. I'm in So. FL on the east coast

Dish says they'll have the 129 up when they bring back the Disney networks in HD - soon.

Hahah I posted about the outage to the SatelliteGuys Twitter Page and DISH Network replied back to it almost instantly.

@SatelliteGuys DISH Answers here. We are aware of the issue with the satellite and are working to have this corrected ASAP. *M

Complete loss for about an hour now. (West Michigan)

the 722k did 45 minutes worth of updates around 11am EST today.

glad it isn't just me. while it is somewhat cloudy here today it doesn't look dense enough to knock it out for such a time.

translation, 129 has failed. and Dish is trying to see if it can get it working again, let's hope they do get it working again, as it would be costly to lose a Satellite on 129 and be force to move all the HD channels on different Satellites like 119 and 110 for those on Eastern Arc until they can get a satellite moved to 129.

ASAP=the hidden "soon"

Shhhhh! Don't jinx it!

 

[MattG@DISH]

129 is having AV and signal issues

 

[3HaloODST]

Did they try switching from HDMI to component?

 

[Heisenberg]

New to Dish -- is there a way to bypass the "Complete Signal Loss" screen to be able to at least watch SD channels?

 

[MattG@DISH]

The flux capacitor dropped below 88

You can change channels by pressing menu-1 (NOTE: you may need to enable SD channels in menu-8-1)

Yeah, MENU - 1 should do it.

EDIT: BLAST! Thwarted by Speedy again!

 

[Mr Tony]

yep

well this is if the SD channels are in the guide

menu
option1 (guide)

I did that so I could watch some OTA channels

 

[racenut]

129 locals down here. Dish website says nothing about outage and their help desk phone is busy. Thanks to Satellite Guys for being on top of this!

I use the east and west archs, so at least I'm not totally in the dark. Tried to call and chat with dish with no luck, they're slammed.
