OK, I “moved” to North Mankato, MN (zip code 56003) only an hour after my installation and when you put in the zip code to look at the locals that area offers it says that I would get national PBS as part of my lineup but I don’t actually. I called Dish twice about this and they did some troubleshooting about it but the CSRs knew nothing about them dropping it. The markets North Mankato, MN gets are Mankato, MN and Minneapolis, MN. I know that the Mankato-only markets at least USED to get national PBS (and I remember years ago Iceberg said he got national PBS with the North Mankato zip code), but Minneapolis has four PBS’s of its own. Did it somehow change because I get the PBS’s from Minneapolis or is it something else?

It’s likely a receiver authorization issue. I had to email ceo@dishnetwork.com to get it fixed for me.
