Trouble tuning in HD channels

[joejack74]

During the summer, I have had trouble getting my HD Channels in the afternoons. When I turn to an HD channel I get a message on the screen telling me the signal has been lost. It happens from about 1:30 pm until 5:30 pm. What causes that? Does my dish need moving?

!st guess is a temperature sensitive LNB add the protection plan and call for a service call and try to schedule for the time frame where problem shows up.

When it happens, try doing a System Info and see if you get an error message.

Sounds like LNBF drift, you need to have the LNBF replaced.

Several years ago I had the same problem. Replacing the LNB fixed the problem.

I had a problem like this last Tuesday afternoon for about 2 hours, but it fixed itself. Haven't had an outage since.

Check to see if a tree is blocking 129. I trimmed the tree and I am OK for now. I may have to cut it down or move the dish if the problem comes back.
