Could it be the severe weather? |

Seems good here. What channels did you lose? Or all of them? Try hitting Menu-6-1-1. Any signal on the meter? Try other transponders and inputs if you have a dual tuner receiver. |

I just checked my FibeTV signal and it is working fine...I don't have the TV on during thunderstorms so I turned it off again. |

Bell only has one NOC for uploading to their satellites so if there is bad weather in Toronto that blocks the signal from the dishes then EVERYONE with Bell Satellite TV goes down. Not sure about FibeTV though. Bell has no backup uplink incase of emergency or weather for their satellite service. |

We have had some severe storms this afternoon so I guess that is what happened...makes perfect sense. I guess every outage for the next period of time will be subject to close scrutiny due to the employee situation there: » CEP Members Locked Out by Bell ExpressVu [6] comments |

Buy a larger dish and make sure it's aligned perfectly so the signal strengths are at maximums. I still can't believe the size of dishes today almost like no one has ever heard of rain. |

It was suggested earlier that the "uplink" signal may have been "blocked" due to the severe weather and in that case everyone loses the signal not just those people who have dish misalignment issues. |

said by The Doctor:Hi,
Anyone else with Bell Satellite TV lost signal? A solar storm from solar flares on July 12, 2012 was due to reach Earth over Saturday the 14th & Sunday the 15th. Satellites may suffer temporary outages and may need to be rebooted or could suffer permanent damage as happened in the past. CBC article here: » www.cbc.ca/news/technolo ··· lar.htmlIts summer time and I guess few are reading or listening to the news. Rick |
