I've been having the same problem for days now. I'm also on EchoStar-XVII beam 53 (SW Louisiana). The system been going out every few mintues. The diagnostic page shows X's every hour for the last 24 hours (uplink problem, code 12.1.12). We've tried everything. Even had a tech come and realign the dish (signal strength 122 - 130). He also put a new LNB? on the dish. Thought it was fixed, but 10 minutes after he left the problem came back. Tech support convinced me to switch to Gen5 and are sending me a new modem. They said wouldn't need to switch satellites, just plug the new modem in. Wish I would have found this thread before ordering the new modem. Seems the problem might be with the satellite and not my modem after all.
