I haven't seen anything about this on SatGuys, so I thought I'd share. The picture is from this Facebook Page:

It appears that EE is off Dish temporarily while they "finalize a distribution model" with the BBC.

I don't have a subscription to EE on Dish, but I am a fan of British TV generally. These days, many UK/Commonwealth soaps are distributed by Hulu (TOWIE, Neighbours, etc.)

I wonder if Dish plans to move EE to an SVOD offering?
 
I thought it allready was

It was showing as a PPV special event. At least it was a couple of weeks ago. A young agent asked me about it, she had someone calling to order it, I just told her it's apparently a very popular British soap opera type show. She had used our show finder, and it appears some episodes showed up on this customer's local PBS, but I admit...I am not familiar with the show.
