Hi folks!

I'm having a problem with a handful of channels (124,129,184,191 & 206) and all are on the 119 bird and all are on Transponder 2. My SW64 switch check is okay. Happens on all receivers. All other signal strengths are normal. Advance TECH @ Dish said he thinks it's my SW64 and wants me to bypass it tomorrow (it's cold and dark now). But before I did so, I wanted to check with you here on this great forum. Is anyone else experiencing a problem? Thank you.

Looks like it's your switch. Transponder 2 at 119 has a ss of 120 for me.

Thanks Steve!

I finally got a locked signal but it was hours after your post. Signal strength for Transponder 2 @ 119 is only 55% compared to all others are 100% or better. I'll have Dish send me the new SW64 switch. Thanks again.
