DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

[vulcanccit]

Your dish is out of alignment. You get some, but not all, channels. You'll need a tech to come out.

well that was last night, today it seems fine, all channels working...

Keep monitoring it and let us know if it fails again.

Can you use a GT Media V8 finder to align a Dish network dish?

 

[wifiguru]

I did change it to 21 in one of the pics but it didnt change anything... should have I changed it to 1 instead of 21?
Today, everything is fine. Today is sunny...yesterday cloudy, but it has always worked on cloudy days. I do not remember exactly what my signal strength was but changing Satellites I am getting 52-69 depending on which one I pick. So we did have some really high winds I think Tuesday or Wednesday of last week, but everything worked through Friday evening... clouds, rain and everything. I wonder if I may have some water issues as opposed to a pointing issue...or a little of both.

As a data point, I had the same exact issue and I do not think it is a coincidence.


Finally restored TV service today.

I’ve used one for I believe aiming at 61.5W once with a single output LNB.
If you try to use a DISH DPP LNB or hybrid LNB, I doubt it will work. The V8 Finder is not compatible with the LNB frequency or something else (if memory serves me correctly).

So, yes the V8 Finder is capable of seeing the signals in general. No, not with a Dish LNB. You’d need to use a generic single or dual output LNB at a frequency of 11250(?) for one satellite location at once (used on 18 inch directv dishes as well as the old dish network dishes for 119 or 110).

Hopefully they recover faster than Red Wing Shoes did:

Hmmm. .
After seeing how Charlie Ergen negotiates, it would not surprise me to hear he hired the Wagner Group to do his hostage negotiation

My dish anywhere is suddenly working again. Watching a program recorded this afternoon. Hopefully it keeps working!

Edit: Working on my Firestick

So do you think Dish did something today to restore it all?

Chat showing up now on dish and mydish.com. Showing chat agents unavailable, but I’m pretty sure that’s a new addition.

From what they told us today, it's going to be at least another day or maybe two until we're back.

I am seeing some resports online that DISH is having some issues including with the phone system and their websites.

Anyone having issues?

sure but it is not supposed to be related; no tuners available.

I think IT did a lot over the past 5 tortorous days.

Dish certainly isn't the only one being hit with ransomware recently:

Tortuous as in painful? Or tortoise as in slow? Ah, both combined.

Spellcheck (and my ignorance on speleing ) has been killing me since my switch over to Android.

That's ok, mine is bad too. I meant torturous, not tortuous. 2 different words/meanings.

Did anyone else get an update to the Dish Anywhere app on iPhones this morning?

Not sure it’s safe to do such an update.

Every time I click "Post Reply" I'm bluffing that I spelled any of the words correctly on my own.
