Physics, Astronomy & Cosmology / Have the Pioneer anomalies also affected other probes?

This is just to hopefully clarify the situation.
Nasa speaks of the Voyager spacecraft making an anomalous acceleration towards the sun. This is gobbledegook for meaning the spacecraft are slowing down.
Using the same logic, a decrease in red shift can be seen as a blue shift. (or an anomalous acceleration towards the sun)
If this theory of time dilation within the solar System is correct then everything we observe from outside of the Solar System is slightly gravitationally red shifted. I believe the effect is so small as to be insignificant for anything other than craft we are tracking leaving the Solar System.
All clear?
