Please log all issues pertaining to the 99(c) satellite (also known as DIRECTV11) here.

Funny everything that got remapped work off the jump. Those that where already remapped didn't.

 

[Grydlok]

Boy I bet they thought this wouldn't happen. ESPN and ESPN2 being down.

 

[Stuart Sweet]

Obviously the problems were temporary, that's why the changeover was done so early midweek.

H20-600
None of the new channel numbers were showing up on this box, all my other HD STB's had them. I needed to reboot the H20 to get the new channels (306,552,390,392.396.398) to show up in the channel guide.

Model: H20-600

Not sure if this is re 99 or 103

I found the same problem this morning, about 6 AM ET.
I ran the TP strength, and I believe I was missing odd or even on either 99 or 103. (I should have written this down, but I was already running late this morning. I then checked one of my HR20-700s, and I had no picture or sound on 501 or 537 (no Searching for Sat popup, just a blank screen). About an hour later, I checked the HR20-700 again, and both channels were fine. Signal strength acceptable on all sats. (I'm getting 60s and 70s on 103 and 99, and 90s on 119 and 90s on 119 and 110, so it's time to reaim the dish.)

Didn't have time to recheck the H20.

Picture looks nice!

May use this post for other info eventually ...

7AM: no reboot needed and I get 306,552,390,392,396,398 and the dups (ESPN..etc) All looks fine and dandy.

 

[wilbur_the_goose]

Could be coincidence, but I had one HR20-700 (NR) that wouldn't respond to the power button on the remote. RBR had no effect. A cold boot eventually woke it up. (My other HR20-700 was fine)

All was fine thereafter.

Not sure if this is related but I have had spotted pixelation issues on other channels that started last night on my local SD and HD, HGTV, HGTV HD, VH1, Food, Food HD, and Foxnews. These were the only ones that I watched yesterday. Every few minuets it would pixelate in a spot on the screen for a couple seconds then be fine for a few more minutes, it was getting a little annoying. All signal were in the upper 80's to 100 on all sats. This was on different boxes as well - R15, H21, and HR20.

 

[raydrfan]

I checked signal strength on 99(c) this morning. I only had values in the high 70's to low 80's on tuner 1, but they were all in the mid to high 90's on tuner 2. I do not see this on any of the other satellites. Any Ideas? I sure would hate to have LOS due to the tuner 1 reception. I am using HR20-100

I have signal strengths on D11 in the 20's-30's. I called Directv to get it repeaked and they told me they couldn't do it until I actually lose service! It's a perfectly clear day here, and my signal strength is low, yet they won't fix it until the signal actually goes out. Is this normal, or did I get a CSR in a bad mood?

 

[Steveknj]

I'm not getting a signal on quite a few channels, locals WPIX and WWOR, ESPN, ESPN2, HBO (501), and a few others. SIgnals on 99c are at peak 55 on any of the transponders.

 

[Grydlok]

just call and tell them it's not working and you are physically unable to trouble shoot

Call back. A different CSR might give you a different answer. Do you have the protection plan?

 

[DarinC]

In my day, we climbed up on the roof and fixed it ouselves. In the snow, uphill in both directions!

HA - what are you talking about your day, I still do this!

:lol:

And some of us get our exercise by calling customer service.

(Actually, we get exercised by calling customer service.)

There is some logic behind that response, because transponders which are not actually being used for any channels may not be operating at full power. If you have such low signal strengths, you should get searching for signal messages or unacceptable pixelation on affected channels. Base your complaint on that, and then mention you noticed the signal strengths are very low, so you think someone needs to come out and align your dish or do some other kind of repair.

99a on both my 2 h20's low to mid 70's with 1 transponder #2 at 81
103b high 80's to low 90's
all other sats 95+
103a is a spot beam not aimed at me
