    How to re-authorize a Dish 301 receiver?

    All's well that ends well Dish took my son's subscription although no one even suggested that he would be sent a new card. Obviously the subscription didn't work and calls to them resulted in no help as they wanted him to be in front of the receiver and he didn't have phone service yet. All...

    How to re-authorize a Dish 301 receiver?

    Thanks for this great info. I found the link where they want you to pay either a $149 fee or a $99 activation fee. Does it really cost this much to turn it back on if you have your own equipment? Why did they set the S00 smart card address to all zeroes?

    How to re-authorize a Dish 301 receiver?

    Yes, it locks. Turned off for 30 minutes. When turned back on, comes on at Acquiring satellite signal and Progress stays at 0 of 5. Software is listed as P452 for DP301 receiver. The R00 number looks ok, but the S00 number is now all zeros!
