Multichannel News ?? How many mainstream people read that ?? Hell, I only read it when someone links to the site ! It's not exactly CNN or MSNBC.... Trust me, I don't foresee Dish's call centers being inundated with calls from people who read about this from Multichannel News....since they are now hyping it in the media, here's proof, and if it isn't there, people WILL call dish network and complain about it.

They must still be working on it because this morning it had Twc under news and it was number 1 with instant being 2.Instant is now number 1 and it says Twc weather instead of Twc and it's moved to number 5.Anyone else noticed this.Also my father says he is getting it on his 301.He says the reginal radar works but when he clicks on Fortcast nothing happens.
"The feature you are trying to access is currently unavailable. Please check back periodically to see if it becomes available."Go to 100, pick "News" from the bottom, then pick weather. Screen may go black for a few seconds, but it will show up, possibly asking location information first.
I have it on my 508, 721 & ViP622. It's really quite good, but takes too long to call up. When they have it so I can just tune to 214, or tune to 214 and press one button, it will be VERY useful.
I tried this morning and I can access it from ch. 100 on my 211. Is there suppose to be a "radar " feature available ? I could not find it. The 5 tabs on the top of the screen were listed as Forecast, Current, Favorites, City Finder, and DISH Home.
Also I had to input my city, DISH did not find it automatically.
It sounds like you went to the instant weather one.TWC weather has the radar.
