    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    OK, here too... Also just got the 2nd e-mail saying to disregard the 1st e-mail that my account was past due. It says the 1st e-mail "was sent in error." What a cluster f... !

    DISH Hacked - Websites are BACK ONLINE!

    Same here ! Just got an e-mail saying that my account is past due and to pay the amount due "to restore your service." I've been on auto-pay since 2008 and have had no paper bills since then. Auto-payment was due today 3-8-23; no debit from my bank account has been taken. The e-mail has a...

    Encore Multiplex HD in Uplink Report

    I'm not getting these new Encore-HD channels, they're still coming in as SD channels. The Uplink Report says they are available. Can anyone see them ?

    Dish MDU with DON 2 help

    OK, so much for this being the "friendly" and helpful site. My apologies to the topic starter for this treatment. Perhaps others here will be able to help you out.

    The OFFICIAL DISH / HBO Thread

    He's a moron because you do not like his humor ? Bill Maher is the main reason I subscribe to HBO. Nothing to do with politics. Just a smart, well-rounded, well-produced show.

    dish movie pack now only 10 channels ... ?

    I have the DISH Movie Pack and I'm still getting the 5 channels removed. Is this supposed to happen in the future or is it a glitch in their system ? I also have AT250 as base package if that helps.

    Odd breakup of OTA channels on only one receiver

    Same issue here..... My two Hopper 3's (no 4K setup) handles the OTA channels without any problems..... But the Joey 2's connected to them started breaking up the OTA channels about 8 months ago..... Totally unwatchable, breakups and pixelations every few seconds..... The Joey 2's had been...

    H3 no information available in guide

    What makes me think this is a national problem ? Perhaps the fact that the posters here are not all posting from the same town, that's why.... Either way, this site is supposed to be the "friendly" site... Not the place where we're chastised for reporting an obviously legitimate problem....

    H3 no information available in guide

    Same here.... No guide info above Ch. 200, including my international channels in the 600's.... Why can't we get an answer from Dish Support to post here... This appears to be a national problem....

    Wow--Rural TV Now Familynet

    Yes, cannot believe they got it done ! (Rural TV correctly re-named to FamilyNet after 3 years of wrong name in the DISH Guide) Wondering if the posts here pushed either DISH or RFD-TV to fixing this--- given the timing of this is a few weeks after our posts.... Or the e-mails and Facebook...

    Why does DISH continue to label Ch. 232 as "Rural TV" ?

    Finally received a response to my e-mail to RFD-TV: "The channel name is FamilyNet when the regular scheduled programming is aired. It is Rural TV when auctions are being broadcast." That's all they wrote.... They must think that DISH will uplink a different channel name to the EPG Channel...

    Why does DISH continue to label Ch. 232 as "Rural TV" ?

    Ha ha, funny..... I'm waiting to hear back from RFD-TV, sent them an e-mail today.... The Facebook response is puzzling because I've never seen livestock auctions on FamilyNet, but I've seen them on RFD-TV..... And why would they want a 24-hour channel improperly named after a particular...

    Why does DISH continue to label Ch. 232 as "Rural TV" ?

    I checked the network's history and in 2002 FamilyNet was owned by Jerry Falwell..... Maybe DISH got into a lawsuit with Falwell back then but I found no record of it... Falwell sold the network to another evangelist, Robert Schuller in 2009..... He, in turn, then sold it to RFD-TV in...

    Why does DISH continue to label Ch. 232 as "Rural TV" ?

    Good suggestions, thanks !... I will do both and report back what Rural Media and DISH have to say about this.... Family Net is a fun network to watch (lots of popular classic shows with limited commercial interruptions).... It's worth it to get this fixed for them.....

    Why does DISH continue to label Ch. 232 as "Rural TV" ?

    I posted the issue here because Satellite Guys has been successful in getting things fixed at DISH..... Whether it's their engineers who check into the site or DIRT members, they've been quite good about getting problems resolved.... Just one example: back in 2011 we were able to get DISH to...

    Why does DISH continue to label Ch. 232 as "Rural TV" ?

    There is already another channel named "RFD" and it's on Channel 231.... The incorrect name still being used is "Rural TV" for Channel 232 where Family Net is now airing.... Rural TV was shut down by RFD on 1-1-13.... It makes no sense for RFD (under any contract) to order DISH to keep...

    Why does DISH continue to label Ch. 232 as "Rural TV" ?

    Assuming RFD even knows this is going on..... Why on earth would RFD want DISH to keep in the Guide the name of a dead network they themselves (RFD) killed off 3 years ago ??? Makes no sense.... How else would they expect DISH subscribers to find their new "FamilyNet" in the Guide ?

    Why does DISH continue to label Ch. 232 as "Rural TV" ?

    It's been over 3 years since Rural TV shut down (1-1-13 to be exact), when it was acquired by RFD-TV.... The channel was replaced/ converted (by RFD-TV) to FAMILYNET Network, airing classic shows and series, nothing to do with rural-themed programs... Yet, DISH continues to label Channel 232 as...

    Full time RSN's on Dish?

    Totally agree ... This is a big mess and they should clean it up.... DISH is not some small town cable stick with a Mickey Mouse head-end that can't put up appropriate viewer instructions/ slates, etc....

    Full time RSN's on Dish?

    This is the most plausible explanation offered yet.... Because otherwise it makes no sense to shut them down for 8 hours every overnight when there are no HD bandwidth needs at those hours... And it has to be generating extra calls to DISH when re-broadcast sports events/ sports newscasts...

    Full time RSN's on Dish?

    Could it be that the reason DISH is blacking out the RSN HD feeds for 8 hours every night is because Charlie's contracts with the RSN's are for part-time HD feeds, which could have lower license fees (than the 24-hour HD feeds) ??? Thus, he may be trying to dodge paying higher license fees for...

    Full time RSN's on Dish?

    Yes, I agree with your theory that DISH changed the flags on Wednesday to hide SD duplicates when they turned on the full-time RSN HD feeds.....However, when the overnight HD black-outs showed up at 3AM (ET). the DISH Engineers realized they had screwed up by now also blocking the SD...

    Full time RSN's on Dish?

    Yes, on my Hoppers with Sling and Joeys 2.0, all the SD feeds of all the RSN's disappeared yesterday when they went full-time HD..... All we could see in the Guide were the HD feeds listed, so after 3AM there were no program listings for any of the RSN's... However, late today they opened up...
