Well, it's on now. I originally had 247 on in this market, and when the local station started carrying MeTV a year or so ago on its main channel, Dish dropped it from my package (like, immediately). But, now that it's gone from the locals again, it appears they've turned it back on in my...

In the DFW market, starting today we're losing MeTV from the primary channel it was on (KAZD 55; moving to one of the sub channels). The banner that's been displayed says to watch it on Dish 247. I'm just curious if Dish is going to turn that channel back on for subscribers in this market. I...

I'll check that when I get a chance. Thanks!

Thanks! I'll give that shot and see if that fixes it.

How do I do that?

No idea. I just read about that, so I don't know. I don't think I've ever seen 77 listed as a satellite for any channels I watch. Yesterday morning (Sunday), when I turned it on, several of the HD channels (not all) just weren't there. No error message or anything. I would switch to them...

I have a ViP 622, and in the last few months, it's started just randomly rebooting. It turns off completely (I guess it's the normal power up cycle), and then I get the "Acquiring Signal" notice. Usually, it takes a couple of minutes to go through that, sometimes it just takes a few seconds...

I've never once had that sort of issue with UPS. They have ALWAYS driven down (in an actual UPS truck, not a rental truck) and either delivered the package face to face or left it on my porch (if I wasn't home). In the rare instances that chose not to leave it if I wasn't home, they would...

There was no notice of delivery of any kind (physcial or email). The only thing the tracking site says is "Left at: Gate". I have neither fencing nor a gate.

Let me make clear before I start, my interaction with Dish concerning this matter was not the problem. The customer rep I spoke with was courteous and promptly resolved my issue. However, because Dish is invovled in this process, I feel it's necessary to share my experience. On Tuesday of...

Thanks for the reply. I think they made the switch permanent a couple of years ago...I would think that would be enough time for Dish to make the change on their feed. Apparently, I'm wrong. :)

I'll often put on one of the music channels to listen to in the background while I'm doing other things. SiriusXM lists channel 41 as Turbo (90's and 00's hard rock), but Dish still seems to have the old Faction (punk) feed on that channel. Mistake or intended? Not a big deal, though I'd...

This weekend, I was flipping through channels, landed on 191, and...lo and behold...they're showing MST3K. I never watched this channel in the past because I didn't care anything about it's programming, but it seems that's all changed now. Lot's of strange programming on the schedule. So...

I have both of those channels in HD. KPXD (ch. 68) is the only local channel in my guide that doesn't have HD.

Dish doesn't seem to be big on communicating things about programming with their customers, unless it's some sort of dispute.
