Did they come back for you? Those are two of the music channels that were moved from the 119 satellite to 129 last week.Anybody else lose "SiriusXM 80's on 8" and "SiriusXM Symphony Hall"?

No, they're still unavailable. Dish Tech Support was useless. She claimed their system is down and they can't even file a report to engineering, or transfer me to advanced tech support - call back in a few days.
If these channels were moved to a different satellite, I'm beginning to think it was to a transponder that is unavailable in Alaska.
Transponders 17 through 32 on 129 are CONUS (Contiguous US), you aren't going to get that up in Alaska like you do with 110/119. Your only option is to wait for the channel to get mirrored on a 129 spot-beam or back to a regular 110/119 transponder... ...Or install a 16 foot dish.Thanks for that. Yeah, 0 signal strength on 129/29. All I get from 129 are spotbeams 5 and 10.
It will make more sense in a couple of months.I am also missing both, but have only a Dish 500 with no LNB pointed to 129, so that certainly explains why. It's curious that they're bothering to reshuffle these low-bandwidth, audio-only channels. I wouldn't have thought they'd be worth the trouble.
I've been listening to these channels for years and years. An arbitrary decision to cut off Alaska doesn't sit well, to say the least.Transponders 17 through 32 on 129 are CONUS (Contiguous US), you aren't going to get that up in Alaska like you do with 110/119.

Its most likely to do with the impending MPEG2 shutdown. My guess is that it was either a oversight, or it was done on purpose with the intention of putting the channels back in place later when the channel shuffling is finished. Either way I wouldn't lose sleep over it, it will probably get fixed eventually (Unless they forget, that is).I've been listening to these channels for years and years.

Maybe because he is a Dish employee and he has signed an NDA and he cannot disclose exactly what is going on at this moment. All he is saying is that there is a reason for what they are doing and when the time comes it will be obvious. He is doing nothing different than what Scott does from time to time. Be patient and less abrasive...Aw come on. That's a pretty poor (and condescending ) answer for someone in "Dish Technical Operations". If you know why then please share it with us minions -- we can probably understand and handle the truth. If you don't know, or for some reason can't tell us, then why even post this response?
In no way did I mean to be disrespectful or condescending and I apologize if it came across that way. I'm definitely not allowed to speak about what is going on in a public forum like this, but I can say AK/HI (anyone without 129) is affected by the Sirius channel moves and we're working on a solution to bring them back.Maybe because he is a Dish employee and he has signed an NDA and he cannot disclose exactly what is going on at this moment.

And do you receive programming on the 129 satellite?I live in Washington State and I am also missing those channel Alt Nation and XMU and several others.
