I was tuning my dish this morning when I lost G10. I thought it was me but then it came back and was watching karate kid and it went off again. From what I've read somethings up, does anyone know for sure whats going on?

I was having problems with G10R/Ku today. Signal was in the 80's with quality in the 40-50 range. Seemed to be on all transponders.

This was just as it was beginning to rain, though it was not heavy at all. I usually don't have problems with this sat.

The C-band side is working fine now. Can't switch to Ku right now, because my remote is downstairs, and I'd have to get out of my recliner. Maybe your system caught the 1 day flue that my system caught earlier in the week, when 3 different dishes went out, then came back to life the next day.

The Equity stuff on G10 has been up and down for the last couple days. They're in the process of putting in a new back up system

Does G10 = Galaxy 10?

Yeah. G10 = Galaxy 10, actually= Galaxy 10r = 26056 = 2000-002A

Interestingly, most sats with the "R" designation are replacements for a previous sat that died, however the original G10 never made it due to a failed launch.
