hi,

i have a legacy 2800 dish network receiver which is connected to a dishpro adapter onto a super dish. And all I have is one international channel which is at sat 121, tr 18.

everything was working just fine until recently. Then something strange started happening. At about 12:30 PM (I am not making this up!) EST, I suddenly lose signal to this channel. When I do a signal check it then shows me zero signal on 121, tr 18. Then I find that I am able to get a signal strength for only the odd numbered transponders.

And by about 8 PM EST, everything comes back to normal!

I did see related posts about people getting only even or odd transponders, but my question is why do I lose signal strengths for these even transponders only during this particular time? This same behavior has been going on for a few weeks now.

Other than calling up Dish, with whom I have never had a good experience with, can someone suggest anything else which I can check myself? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks a lot, folks.
 
I'm going to go out on a limb here and say your 121 LNB is starting to fail. Either standard wear and tear, or heat related issues. Regardless, your best bet is to call up Dish (sorry, not something I'm sure you want to hear).
