What is the problem with Dishnetwork when it states acquiring signal on and off all day?

The correct answer to your question is: you have a weak signal strength.





Several things can cause a low signal (the guy a few answers above me touched on a few).





Most common reasons are:


improper dish alignment


poor connections from the dish to the receiver


something is blocking the signal (trees or heavy cloud cover)|||1) It can be a static build up. Unplug the receiver(s) for 3 minutes. Take out the card. After 3 minutes. Reinsert the card. Plug it back in.


2) If that doesn't work, the connections between the dish and the receiver may be loose so that it is losing signal. Try to tighten those up.


3) Your dish may be off target and may need to be realigned.





I've had all three problems. Good luck.|||I don't know if you have tried it but shut it off at the box and turn it back on. If that doesn't work then you are going to have to call them.|||Your settings for the angle and stuff for the dish is wrong


you can get he pproper ones at dishnetwork.com just search around for it|||the problem is that with dish, every time there's a storm or it just clouds over you lose the signal. i don't like dish. i don't know if direct tv is any better, but it doesn't happen with cable.|||don't listen to the person 'bout direct tv. my aunt had %26amp; in sunny it would go out for 6-12hrs at a time %26amp; at least once a week.my other aunt had cable and it would black out for about 2-4 hrs and everyday you would hear truckers on their radios even though were she lives she is lets just say far enough from big streets.


you should call or log unto dish probaly some wind from a storm or strong winds wacked it out.


had dish only time it went out was went it was raining really, really bad and the satellite ended hanging from the cables from the side of my house.
