Switch From Satellite To Streaming

[Peter Parker]

For the last few days when I tune to most satellite channels I get an on screen message saying that Satellite Service has been lost and I m being switched to straming. I called DiISH Support and was told that this was acommon problem right now and it is being worked om.

Does anyone else have this problem and does anyone know how long this will last?

Sigh.

I hear a nail being driven.

It's not a common problem. Your signal protector is kicking in because you're not getting a signal due to a list of possible reasons.
You need a tech to come out and sweep your system

Well interstingly enough multiple CSsRs have told me it is not necessary.

I am fairly tech savvy. I like to do things on my own but I know my limits and when it is best to ask for a qualified tech and I think this is one of the situations where it is necessary

I agree, and let's be realistic, some cubicle sitter, thousands of miles away, is not going to know anything about what's happening at your house

Doesn't looking at sig strengths screen tell you something?

What all does sweep the system include?

What all does sweep the system include?

I assume just check out everything
Dish (probably not aimed properly)
Lnbs (how old and is there an issue)
Cabling
Switches

Sounds very evasive.... like my prostate check when I turned 50.

I get one every year and it's darn sure not evasive. Very invasive though.
