Well that was odd. I just have a live chat with a Dish Network CSR about why I am not receiving the BTN anymore. He started out by telling me I could upgrade to AT100+ today to receive the channel.
I told him I already had AT250 with HD Ultimate so I should receive it. Then he tells me the FCC will not allow Dish to offer the channel to my zip code. I tell him that according to the Dish site, the BTN should be included with my RSNs. I type my zip code and he checks again.
He then tells me I SHOULD be receiving the BTN(really?, I had no idea
). He had me do a receiver reset and both the HD and SD versions were restored.
I tried receiver resets twice when I realized I was no longer receiving the BTN and it never worked. That chat CSR(but could he have?) had to have changed something on my account to allow the channels to be viewed. I'm just saying receiver resets didn't work in the past but once he told me to do one, boom, channels restored!
All in all I'm happy now.
