I'm experiencing frequent video/audio dropouts on CBS-HD off of DISH network's 61.5 satellite, something apparently no one else is seeing since I've seen no posts on this subject. Does anyone know what specific transponder is assigned to CBS-HD on 61.5?

At the moment it looks like Transponder 20. HBO HD is using 10, and Showtime HD 28. You can tell this buy going to the signal strength screen after tuning to any particular channel first.


Transponder assignments for 61.5 are also shown here: http://www.lyngsat.com/dig/dish3.shtml

Dan:

I just did as you suggested and also noticed transponder 20 is being used currently for CBS-HD.

I watched the signal strength screen for several minutes and did not notice any loss of signal during that time. These dropouts have got me baffled as I am not seeing anything similar on my HBO or Showtime feeds. Seems like if it was some sort of terrestrial interference I would see periodic loss of signal via the signal strength meter.
