Dish Network subscribers... need some help

Ok so I am slightly agitated here not sure if anyone is experiencing this tonight with the weather but once the downpour started my service cut out for a few minutes. It proceded after the heavy rainfall to cut out for very brief moments, maybe for 30secs to a minute. Now it has cut out (no rainfall here in tonawanda right now) and has not come back yet been about 5 minutes. WTF is up with this I know rain can be a little screwy with sat systems but not this bad. Is there something I can do besides reboot the reciever?

Yeah mine is doing the same thing. My fiance just hit the roof when her program cut out. Try hitting menu, and selecting the guide. Then pick a channel that comes off 61.5 (anything HD really.)

Yea 61.5 was at sub 20% levels it appears to be back now and fine. My coworker just happened to call me after I posted this to give me his info he is getting installed on Thursday and was going to PM you info to see if its too late to pull his stuff and do his install :)… so pm is going to be coming your way.

I am guessing electrical interference… seems to be alright now though. For my future reference 61.5, 110 and 119 are the satellites we use right?

PM received. Thanks!!

Yep those are the birds your dialed in to!!
