Problem getting lock in beam 34?

[BillyGoat]

Anyone else having issues these past few days? I've gotten full signal and been able to surf maybe 2 or 3 times for less then 15 minutes out of the past 3 days. The modem goes through all the motions of getting a lock, starts of blinking slow, then the double flash, and then the triple flash but it never goes solid except for once in a great while. I've had 2 trias go out before but they never got past the first stage for connecting.

Beam 34 has been fine for me.

The wind here is gusting very high, do you think your dish could have moved a bit?

A newbie here. How do you find out what beam you are on? I'm in South Central PA.

Thanks in advance.

Harrywb, if you have service through an NRTC, then your beam is indicated in your Admintool page. It might also be in your paperwork. If you have service from Dish Network, AT&T or Wildblue directly, then one must use a beam map, the date you obtained service and possibly a Trace Route. There are two possible satellites, Anik-F2 and Wildblue-1 (WB-1). See Beam Maps. If you can not figure it out from the beam maps, then tell me your ZIP code and when you got service, and I'll try to figure it out.
