Service Restored to 129 Satellite!

[whitewolf8214]

Well lets see our Logitech Review which was posted last October has over 54,000 views... this thread here which is only a few hours old and it already has over 28,000 total views.

I would say its been a busy few hours.

Very busy few hours

So glad that this site is up. Can you imagine if we all had to rely on dishnetwork.com or the 800 number to figure out what's going on?

I know I'd be going bonkers.

You would be surprised at how many people from DISH Network come here first to find out whats going on... (I wish I was making that up)

SAT 129 down for all channels in Phoenix AZ. I just looked for a possible twitter account for Dish Network. Turns out they do have an active twitter account @dishnetwork I am watching MTs and traffic between them and customers via TweetDeck application.

down here too, dish 800 number constant busy signal
perhaps dish needs twitter page so they can let peeps know whats up

Checking in.

I was just about to blame the fraud service technician. I just phoned DISH and their automated system let me know what's going on.

The service technician signed the service contract, in my name, as well as put my initials down. I thought that was a crime, forging a legal contact with somebody's name, etc. Thankfully, I can prove that it's not my signature (if we hire somebody to compare the two signatures)

as per dishnetwork facebook account:

DISH Network
We sincerely apologize if you are currently experiencing HD channel loss issues. We are working as quickly as possible to restore your channels.

Until these channels are restored you can watch most Standard Definition channels by pressing the menu button on your remote control, and selecting Program Guide. Or you can access your DVR content by pressing the DVR button.

If SD channels are not visible in your Program Guide go to www.dish.com/outage for instructions.

No 129 signal in the Texas panhandle. Does anyone at Dish know what has happened? Is 129 toast or is it fixable?

 

[LJALLEN97]

Might as well join the crowd. Sunny Oregon no 129 signal so that rules rain fade out. Darn

Dish gave an update of hopefully fixed within 4 hours...and that was an hour or so ago

I was just about to replace my 1.2 lnb. Was getting my ladder out.. And I figured I would come on here and take a look.. Love this site.. Just saved me a trip up the ladder...LOL

 

[One Wolf Productions]

You should definitely check out the dishnetwork facebook page it's actually quite hilarious on some of the responses, people are freaking out because of the no HD and people are like GO OUTSIDE AND READ A BOOK lol..

Just an update, I guess SES Americom mainly controls that satellite out of Gilbert, AZ and at the moment that area is getting slammed with heavy rain, so that is slowing some of their recovery / restore efforts.

Rebooted to get my SD channels to show

Initially I could not see or access my SD channel options on the default "my Channels" menu. I rebooted my 722 and they all returned. Now watching SD successfully without changing my preferences from HD to SD in set up.

That is most likely because their HD counterparts disappeared from the guide...

Thats because they removed all the HD channels from the guide.

How are they able to control/configure the satellite, if it's 22,000 miles up, especially when something serious happens, like for example it gets turned, not pointing at the earth anymore?
