VIP-211K Receiver + Dish 500 / Can't get any t.v. stations to show up

When a receiver is "out of the stream" for more than a few days which means it isnt communicating with the satellite the access card (that tells the receiver what programming you subscribe to) goes inactive. The result? no channels other than maybe 101

Best thing is to either call Dish, do a chat or as noted contact a DIRT (dish internet response team) member. All the receiver needs is a rehit which will give you the programming back. Takes like 5 minutes once they send the hit

Ok I have the VIP211K and Dish 500. I did the check switch and 119 and 110 are OK and green. Why cant we see any t.v. shows?? I can change the channel. When I change it nothing pops up on the top to let me know (I.e. screen stays black and no numbers pop up)
Any help is appreciated!

Thanks,

Cody

Cody, I can help you get that reauthorized. Send me a PM and we can get that corrected for you.
