All good here. What are your signal levels for 110 and 119?

Not very likely. possible things:

If you have the 5lnb with the side arm, the connectors might have worked loose.
If you have a multiswitch, its ability to generate/pass on the 22khz signal might have failed (ie bad switch)
a cable or two might be loose.
bad dish unit

With a bit more information about your setup, we might be able to walk you thru the diagnosis. Or call DIRECTV for their assistance.

Happy to help,

Thanks much! I do have the 5lnb with side arm, and will check all the cables this weekend (unfortunately headed out of town on business trip today) and report back.
