I’ve been listening to The Loft all day and evening without any problems. Maybe your receiver?
Yeah sirius still on EPG and I'm listening to the music now. Something must be up with the OP's set-top box. Maybe he needs to contact dish and have his equipment hit with authorization signal again. sometimes in some situations that's all it takes.
Did you switch to Flex Pack by any chance? Not included, but can be added on.
They are still on I am listening now. It was a hard choice this morning. Classic rock or QVC Christmas show

Did the OP change from ViP equipment to Hopper/Wally, or vice versa? That would change the channel numbers where the Sirius channels show up.
Interesting....no changes to programming or receivers for 2 years. Have the Hopper 3 and AT200 pack.
Ok I chatted with dish support. The Sirius channels are there under channel 99 and up. I always went to channel 6000 and up to find them. This worked fine on the Hopper 3 as off last week. So apparently on the Hopper 3 the channel guide was changed this last week for Sirius. I didnt see them earlier there, but I never go to that part of the guide much. My bad... false alarm!

That was my question. When I switched to Flex, I made sure to add Sirius for the $6.00. I use it constantly when cleaning my house, hosting a party, and when we have dinner, I put it on as background music.
My understanding is that on Hopper they have always been on 99. I switched to the Hopper 1 back in 2012, and it's been on 99 ever since. That's strange that you would get it on the 6000s on a Hopper.
I honestly wish I could get rid of them in my package and save some money. I already have SiriusXM radios in both my home and car, as well as online access.

Honestly, having it at home is why I don't sub to the main service.
Yeah, but there’s more than just the music channels on the main service. For example, I listen to a lot of SiriusXM Patriot.

That well could have always been on 99 and up. I just used to listen to them up in the 6000s clear back to my 625 days. Out of habit I just kept going there until a few days ago they were no longer there. I’ve had this hopper 3 for about 2.5 years now and was doing it that way.
Just think "Agent 99". (if your are old enough to remember Get Smart).
Shown below, waiting on hold for Dish support to inquire about their missing Sirius channels:
