Thank you and I'll looking forward to speaking with you in the near future!

but an obstruction, like trees between the dish and the satellite, or if the dish isn't SOLIDLY mounted, it can move, causing signal loss that would include any pole it might be mounted on.

It doesn't take much an obstruction to wipe out the signal.

If it suddenly started, something may have been placed in the way of your dish.

You can check your signal strength on each satellite that you use by turning on your TV, pressing "menu" on your remote, then press "6" on the remote, then "1" and "1" again.

The most common satellites are 110, 119 and 129.  Check them for a green bar and a "locked" indicator.  To exit this test mode, press "cancel" several times until you're back the regular TV operation.  Good luck,
 
I've been pretty satisfied, overall with dish, but I had to move my dish once due to my neighbors trees getting bigger over the years.  Everything was okay in the winter when the leaves were gone, but would start having trouble in the spring. 

Channels on satellite 129 are the most difficult to recieve and you will probably lose these first.

Please, let me know if you get this resolved...I'd miss my Dish service, we're a charter customer of the service.
