Anyone out west having issues with Sat.110?
Yesterday I had pixilation, this morning no signal. I get the message don't call we're working on it on the screen. I've seen that before and it ended up being BS more then once....

Is it the entire 110 or specific channels?
I honestly don't know how much I watch stuff off of 110 anymore. I'm usually watching the HD channels and most of them are on 129 & 119
While I agree with you about the BS at times, I'm having no problem with HBO on 110 right now.

KQED-HD, PBS and one of the Comcast Sports Channels that I'm aware of.
I'm gettng KQED HD crystal clear right now. But then again its on 129. SD is on 110 and it's fine also.
It could be a local weather disturbance. It does not have to rain locally to get "rain fade" especially at lower look angles. I've heard of stories where a thunderstorm 300 miles away caused rain fade.

That "don't call" message is not BS. It's built into the software on your receiver to display when rain fade is the cause of the outage.

I'm getting KQED HD with pixels currently. Who knows, perhaps the dish needs realignment. It was sudden and I never had issues before it seemed odd and the infamous "we're working on it message".

Regarding the Message, were working on it message....I can remember having to realign myself to get a stable picture.
The message implies a Dish end problem and since it hasn't rained here in weeks it ain't the weather either. I'll give it a day and realign the dish my self if necessary.....
