KMSP in Mpls St. Paul was out this morning. Screen said something like "no need to call Dish is aware of the problem"

That screen typically comes when you are trying to get a SPOT and are out of it. I got it when they moved PITTS to Spot and I lost my conus SPOT ironically.

KMSP in Mpls St. Paul was out this morning. Screen said something like "no need to call Dish is aware of the problem"

Comes up anytime you lose signal on a local. I've got it when the channel was actually down (i.e. the transmitter was out where Dish gets programming), during rain fade events locally, and during rain fade events at the uplink center that delivers my locals. Could also come from spot issues. Your receiver is just programmed to say that for locals whenever the signal lost screen would normally come up. They are just trying to prevent calls.
