Hi! Could be weather or something I noticed I lost some channels on 148w since last night.
Some are coming in ok but others not coming through I will see if they came back when I get home from work,I may just delete channels on that one and rescan incase Dn changed things.
I know it`s not my signal because I`m at 85-98 sig and 90-98 quality.

Is there a slight chance last nights meteor shower could have dinged them???

I an in Ontario and news reports said that they were in the path of the showers, but that they did not expect the meteors to be of any significant threat.

But Imagine something the size of a grain of rice traveling at 200mph... Shit could really fuck things up!

If it hit a solar panel or something, it would not have gone down right away, but once the power in the cells run out. GAME OVER!!!

might be but more than likley it is the transponder change that is going on. with Echostar making room for the Olympic stuff on both Beverly and Echo higher ranges of transponders and maybe even deletion of some lower ones. expect a rocky picture over the next few weeks don't be surprised if your pictures start to freeze as well
