First thanks to everyoine who has replied and offered an opinion.
:hi:
As noted earlier, LNBF AND coax were replaced and no change. Aside from the units 35 miles north of me that went out at the same time, one of my firends has family in Canada and their unit went out at the same time too!
Go figure?
Statisically not a random chance occurrence to happen on same few days over such a wide range of landscape.
Tried calling Dish NW support but line always busy, the internt tech support, once they replied after about a week, made no mention of any changes on E* 119°W (eg. shifting to spot beams) and suggested that there was nothing wrong and I needed to replace LNB and/or coax or re-aim dish.
When I inquired about re-aiming to 110°W instead of 119°W tech support made no comment, and it was here in this discussion group that I learned 110° is no longer active.
So now I will look into switching to Direct TV or perhaps a C-band system if I can not get this to work.
Dish allignment has been re-checked (x5) and as on initial set up there is no signal on any TS but as you get close weak sigs. on most then strong on 1 or 21 and then all the rest pop right in just fine. So I still have TS#1 loud and clear and 20 and 17 ragnge from 0-35 w/o locking and rest are now 0. Any adjustment of dish, up/ down or azmuth change drops signals.
So I appreciate everyine's comments in any case. Always good to re-check the obvious, but been there- done that.:shrug:
No WEB TV that offers coverage of the Austrian Grand Prix either so I will mist another race. Unles someone out there knows of something, hope hope.
Thanks again.
