cookj5 Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 We got a message on our Shaw Direct TV Satellite system that "Receiver has lost signal. Network connection lost" Normally this only happens when a rainstorm interferes with the signal and the signal is regained as soon as the rain lets up. There has been no rain today and the signal has been lost for a couple of hours now. Is this happening with anyone else? Any thoughts, solutions?

lcscats Posted July 16, 2021 Report Share Posted July 16, 2021 It has been cloudy all day. Clouds can block the signal like rain. Maybe you need to adjust your dish to perfection as it might be out a little. See other posts on same subject for more info. It has been discussed over and over on this site.

johanson Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 I have had a few very short outages during periods of heavy rains etc. But so far most if not all of the Shaw Channels I normally watch are viewable most of the time. Maybe it's time to call your satellite dealer to either fine tune your antenna or if he deems it necessary, to increase the size of your satellite dish.

mexbound Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Was it out on all channels or a specific few? Is it still out this morning (Saturday)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ajijicbound Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Michael Merrimans crew from Ajijic Electronics got all ours back. Needed a new LnB and a realignment. Works great now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickS Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Needed a new LnB because it was bad OR because Shaw changed something that requires a new one in order to get those channels back I wonder??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyPanda Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 Nothing Shaw has done requires a change in hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LnB was bad. Hadn't been changed in 8 years. Now everything in perfecto! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geeser Posted July 17, 2021 Report Share Posted July 17, 2021 When I get that notice you have lost signal, I press guide and select a very strong channel like one of the US networks. So far it has always found the signal. It mostly happens when I am on a weaker channel like Cottage Life, which I watch a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
