They have only rolled it out to 25% of the interactive receivers out there.
Patience, you WILL get it soon or later.

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.
Just wanted to check in from the Philly 'burbs. I've got the Channel 100 version working on my 811, but it still shows not available on the 625. I thought that it was kind of strange, but I guess it proves they're rolling it out by receiver, and not necessarily by region.
:
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.

It wil be a lot bettter when they get it working on ch 214. Going to ch 100 is the long way round.
I went to my fathers house to see how it looked.I like it it looks great and works flawlessly on his 301.It loads up to your zipcode pretty fast however when you try to go to another location it is slow.It took at least a minute to change cities vs a couple of seconds loading when you first get on.The temperature as they said does update every 15 seconds.I still wish they would get 214 up and tell us when all receivers will have this feature.
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.

"The feature you are trying to access is currently unavailable. Please check back periodically to see if it becomes available."
Nope, I got the same "check back later" on my 622, my 510, and my 2 508s.. TWC Weather listed as an option on channel 100 after clicking the NEWS tab, but just has the maybe later message....
