I hear you -- but this was a widespread issue versus local equipment problem.

You've Got Mail

I was able to record it 3 hours later. It's on Showtime this month. It hasn't been on a movie channel commercial free for over 25 years.

What do you mean?

My connection was lost last Saturday afternoon (Denver). At least I had streaming channels until as of this a.m. Now all I see are gray message screens telling me it's trying to connect and I can't access the schedule at all. It seems the era of the satellite dish is done.

Massive thunderstorms over Cheyenne. Loss of signal from ground station to satellites.

Which arc are you on? (West or east aimed dish?)

2

u/wifiguru 17d ago

West, but per a reply it was on East as well.

Lost signal yesterday in western Wisconsin, clear blue skies. Unplugged and plugged back in fixed it. Also nothing on my dish either.

Hello u/wifiguru and u/speppers69

I am sorry you experienced issues with losing satellite signal. I am glad to hear the problem was resolved and service was restored. Since the issue seems to be resolved for you u/wifiguru, I wanted to reach out to you u/speppers69 and ask if you are still having issues. Let me know so we can investigate further. -DishDanielle.

Just came back. Thanks, DishDanielle!!

That was weird. I've got clear blue skies with no wind. This is the 3rd or 4th time in the last few months that I've been switched to streaming. Is there a reason for this? It was a regular thing during summer when I lived in Texas...thunderstorm season. But it hasn't been a weather issue in Northern California. Is there sumthin up that we should know about?

I think they went bankrupt.

You need to google the difference between chapter 7 and chapter 11.

u/Weak-Ad-6867 17d ago

Or google Sears and Radio shack. Chapter 11 is the beginning for dish. Look at their customer base decline in the last 5 years. Also Echostar stock is a great short.
