Satellite 119 with DISH seems to cut in and out on motorhome

We have a winegard satellite which was installed at the factory, came with our coach. We have a Wally with DISH and all worked well for over 3 years now, my problem just popped up and it is with the satellite 119, seems ALL channels on that satellite are fine for about 5 minutes then switches to SD and or Total signal loss. Is there a chance this may just well be the WALLY is bad? Anyone else have an issue with? We have called DISH, and all we get is the routine...unplug, reset, let it do it's thing, etc.

    We have been having the same problem in the S&B for the past few weeks. Partial to full signal loss. Sometimes it says we are experiencing a weather event but there is not a cloud in the sky. Signal is 50+ when it's working properly. Irritating.

    Call Dish again and tell them how many times their tech support have tried to resolve your problem. Tell them you want them to send a Dish tech person out to your RV to diagnoise the isssue.
  • wow...you can see the sun?! what's that like? been so long here since we've seen it. the dog had a peek at it the other day and freaked out! oh, sorry. off topic. :B
  • I'm using Dish in my house and on the HM also. Here lately at home between 5 and 7 pm we've been experiencing the complete signal loss intermittently. The strange thing is, when we press the GUIDE button during one of these episodes, the picture comes back in the window and stays there. Eventually, the Guide times out and switches back to full screen where we get the signal loss message again. We're using a Vip211z receiver. I think the problems has to do with the sun overpowering the satellite signal but I'm not sure.
