Different satellite. The standard stuff is on a different signal from the International programming. One could possibly be down.

that could be it. He should remove his card and put it back in and see if he receives a signal

That'll make no difference, and it could possibly damage the card as they are static sensitive. Most of the newer boxes don't even use cards anymore. Simply turning the box off and on again will work, or going into the setup and checking for signal.

Nope. Watching G4 on Echostar 7 right now.

Hey where are you?

If it's snowing you may want to check for the obvious.

Been there, done that! 🙂

Damn. That's a lot of snow. Luckily I've never had any problems with snow build up over the last 5 years of so I've been using satellite. Rain fade during heavy storms, but never any issues during the winter months.
