View Full Version : Anyone else having trouble watching MSNBC or CNBC?

I'm having trouble watching MSNBC, CNBC, or anything else that's on transponder1 on 119W, 110W, or 61.5W. I'm in my bedroom right now and I'm having trouble watching MSNBC, CNBC, or anything on transponder1 on any bird and I'm on a 3900 with an SW-64 in my bedroom now.
The problems all started right after the Dish Home upgrade for the 3900.
There were problems with the switch tests many times and it even thought that the SW-64 was an SW-21 or a 500 Double or whatever, but now all the switch tests are working fine and it does recognise the SW-64 but I'm still having problems with MSNBC, CNBC, and anything else that's on transponder1 on any bird.
Another thing is that today's an incredibly hot day here in the Philly burbs(high of 89 according to Dish Instant Weather) and the class2 power supply for the SW-64 is running pretty hot to the touch too.
Howcome all the other channels work fine, but only transponder1 on all the birds doesn't work?
Are there sunspots, or is dish moving the channels around to different birds in preparation for Echo7 or something?

Well, CNBC is coming in fine for me on a trusty model 3000. It sounds like some sort of a hardware problem. I'm certain that if the software upgrade caused mass problems, there would be a flood of posts here and at the other guy's board.

"Anyone else having trouble watching MSNBC or CNBC?"

Yeah, I can take only so much BS!
