Which HBO channel were you watching (Ch 501, or the HBO channel in the '70s)? Ch 501 is beamed from the new D11 satellite at 99ºW, while the channel in the '70s is beamed from 110ºW. Check your signal readings on the appropriate satellite and post back your results here.
Issues with HBO-HD
I was enjoying the free HBO this weekend but a strange thing happened Saturday. I kept getting a 'searching for satellite" message on HBO-HD everything else (including the HBO-HD west feed) was 100% OK. Anybody else have this issue?

I was watching the HBO no Ch 501. Isn't the HBO-West HD feed from the same Sat? It came in fine. Is there a test channel for the 99ºW feed?
I saw this issue as well. Resetting my HR21 fixed the issue.
Starting in the last week or so, I've been seeing a lot of "771 searching for signal" errors on both of my tuners intermittently. If you look around the forums, other people have been seeing these as well, so I don't think it's hardware-specific.

My readings on the 99ºW range from 33 to 85. Am I in need of a dish realignment?
Wait, we had free HBO last weekend! Damn it!DrZ said:I was enjoying the free HBO this weekend but a strange thing happened Saturday. I kept getting a 'searching for satellite" message on HBO-HD everything else (including the HBO-HD west feed) was 100% OK. Anybody else have this issue?
