Going into and out of the setup screen on the Dish box brought a full signal level displayed on 6.1 so all is well. The only problem seemed to be something odd with the Dish box and channel 6.1.

Weird...
I think what's likely is when they messed with the coax cables, one didn't get tightened down quite right, or one of them got bent and "notched out" the signal a bit or something. Or even some corrosion which didn't rear it's head until the disconnects/reconnects. I've seen this happen. If you haven't manually run a "check switch", you should.
