"We are currently experiencing technical issues with the satellite location 129. This has caused signal loss on some channels.

Confirmed "0" signal on all TP's, hope is an uplink problem, and the sat didn't get hit with something as there are no solar flares right now to worry about, oh well is back to SD programming for a bit.

update:

"We are currently experiencing an interruption affecting the 129 orbital satellite location. We have identified the issue and are working as quickly as possible to get your channels restored. We apologize for the inconvenience."

Some Jr. engineer probably tripped over the wrong cable at the uplink site.

Dish Network satellite 129 outage knocks out HD channels nationwide

If your Dish Network-connected TV is claiming total signal loss, then at least take comfort in the fact that you're not alone. While the company hasn't revealed exactly what the problem is, Facebook and Twitter posts indicate a "technical issue" with satellite location 129. The really bad news comes when we learned that bird is responsible for carrying many HD channels and HD locals (check the links below for a list of all channels on 129). Switching over to SD channels will let you watch (if that can really be called watching TV) most content in the short term -- DBSTalk posters advise hitting menu and selecting 1 on your remote to pull up the guide if you're having trouble. If you currently hide standard-def channels, press menu, then 8, then 1 and uncheck the "HD only" box to see the working channels for now. We'll keep checking for any updates on the situation, but for now you're on your own in a 480-line wilderness, so good luck.

Sorry but that one wasn't pointing at us, (thank goodness) look at this site,
http://www.swpc.noaa.gov/rt_plots/pro_3d.html if the green line goes above the dotted line it's not good for satellites, and it looks very clean for that time period.

And please no live outside links in the posts, make them dead as I did to yours.
