Just came back a few minutes ago in central PA, not sure how long it was out because I watched nothing but previously-recorded events tonight. For a while, I had no signal at all on any satellite, literally 0 on the built-in meter. Once in a while I would get a flicker of a signal on a few transponders on 72, nothing on 61 or 77.
Yes, I lost signal during the 10:00 news last night and when I checked my status menu I got no connections on any of the three eastern arc sats and only the 119 sat I hooked up on a side sat dish registered green. I actually checked my dish outside to see if something had happened since it wasn't raining and the moon was shining bright. I rebooted my super joey and reran a checkswitch and they all showed green again. I didn't know that the uplink site took a weather hit.
