We're located in the western Carribean but have a US DirecTV subscription. We use a 1.8m dish and had great reception until about a month ago when we lost all of our east coast channels. We still receive the west coast networks, but none of the east coast. We also lost various other channels at the same time - some movie channels as well as various others (Animal Planet, NFL Channel, etc).

This same issue arose with everyone that I've talked to on the island and it all happened at the same time.

Has there been a change with the DirecTV satellite?

Have you solved this problem yet? What is the latitude and longitude you are
located, and which sat are you pointed at? 72.5ºw, 101ºw, 110ºw, or 119ºw?
