The dish is on a pole, probably about a 75' run from the house (cant run the wire straight, it has to run an L shape, up and over). Its tucked behind some shrubs, but the DTV techs pruned the shrubs way back. I did wonder if they thought to scope up higher and see if a hanging tree might affect the signal. Also, I havent been back to check the signal. Often the DTV guys get in a hurry, dial in the first three birds, which around here puts the HD sats in the high 70's. Plenty of signal to work in fair weather.

The client claims that other TVs dont have a problem. But this is also the only DVR. Getting her to go into a research frame of mind would be harder than to get Bruce to vote for Trump. It just aint happening. So I have no idea of how to narrow down if something else happened around the same time.
