Corkycarroll, Your system is likely aimed at Dish Network's satellite at 119W. The changeover from Echostar 7 to Echostar 14 at the 119W satellite position has whacked some US Dish Network clients with a big stick, eliminating access in Mexico to many channels. As already mentioned, some details of the change are described in the Tech thread. Specifically, with the change to Echostar 14, Dish Network tightened up their broadcast coverage for dishes aimed at 119W, allowing less signal to bleed south into Mexico from the 119W satellite. Sources report that Dish Network will continue to make significant adjustments and changes to their signal for the next 2 weeks or so. As Dish Network changes the footprints of its signals (adjusting signal strengths and coverage areas) and then they'll change formats of their Forward Error Correction (FEC), people are reporting that dishes receiving signals from the new Echostar 14 at 119W will see varying performance and varying signal strengths for the next few weeks. (June 16 projected completion date.) Depending on where you live in the Northern Hemisphere, you may find that you need to either change equipment, change satellites, or change providers. We've got some more details posted on our blog, and plan to update info as things change: http://yucalandia.wordpress.com/...lite-tv-information/ steve - Read-on MacDuff E-visit at http://yucalandia.wordpress.com/
