WTFBBQ? (Dish's website)

[Beachbum]

Dish's website registration messed up?

So i'm TRYING to sign up on dishes website to take a gander at my account or whatever may be there, but I cant sign up! "Unable to logon to system due to technical difficulties. Please try again at a later time." Anyone else getting this?

Happens all the time - they just can't keep their site running.

They use the rejects from their DVR programming teams to run the website.

You hit the nail right on the head! Acctually, it can be whatever you want it to be..... Good job justalurker!

i'm actually happy that I didn't know that, you gotta be f'n kidding me...

I've been getting the same error for a while.

I sent an email and all I got back was the standard canned response. No help on that end.

To all you old people that dont know the meaning:

j/k about the old thing, really!

I'm 25. It's not an old thing, it's a "how lazy can people get that you're abbreviating everything" thing...

Or as the kids would say,

I25INAOT, IAHLCPGTYAET

Yeah, the website is having 'technical difficulties' 23 out of 24 hours... I quit trying to access my account online.. It is quicker to call and talk to a non-english speaking CSR.

Whoops, I usually don't use "kiddie abbreviations", but "WTFBBQ" makes me laugh uncontrollably for some reason, I thought I'd share.

My install isn't until the 20th, so they have plenty of time to fix things.... I don't NEED to view my account, but I like to view it for shites and giggles.

I'm pretty young and I still don't get it or how it's funny.

Same here. I'm in college so I am certainly not THAT old. I've never seen it before, don't understand it, and don't find it funny.

I check my account every day to see about equipment upgrades being offered. There was one day a couple of weeks ago I couldn't get access, but I've connected to my account info all other days. I occasionally check my bill while I'm there too.

I haven't seen/heard of that acronym before either.

 

[Beachbum]

I guess i'm special. I'm weird, I laugh at strange things....

 

[Purogamer]

Yeah, you're weird, no problem agreeing with you there...=)

I've been on dish's website a bunch over the past week, and it's worked every time. That dish tech depot that was off-site (the rweb thing), is now also incorporated into dish's site. Seems like the dishnetwork.com version is a little more updated too...
