Server Issues. We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. As of 12:05 PM ET our provider has moved us to a new server.
Things seem to be running better on this new server. However in trying to diagnose the issue (before finding out it was a hardware issue) we made some system changes which we need to undo. So if you find any issues or errors please let us know in the Operations Center Forum.
Thank you for your patience! Sorry for the issue!

I just did a chat. I asked about credits for the walking dead. the lady said she couldn't give me any credits. but, she said she could give me showtime free for 3 months. i accepted the offer. that seemed fair to me.
I called in and received a $42 credit. Asked if I qualified for any offers and the rep said premiums for 1/2 off for six months. When I said I probably wouldn't watch them enough to make it worthwhile he offered to give me Showtime, Cinemax or Starz for 1/2 off with a $5 monthly credit for six months so that it would only be $1.90 per month for one premium. I imagine I can get that much value out of a premium so I took Showtime for their original programming.
Just did a chat, got offered three months of all the premiums other than HBO, told the rep I likely wouldn't watch them, got escalated to "an account specialist" who offered my an additional $10 discount for 12 months on top of the $10/mth for 12 months already given for Breaking Bad....so I'm quite happy! If they keep this up, by the time Mad Men rolls around again they'll be paying me to watch! 
I've been a VERY long-time customer (probably close to 15 years?), but not a big spender...currently only have Dish Silver and no premiums and also. So I guess loyalty does count for some things!

there have been hundreds (maybe even more) posts in the past hour on the dish facebook page about amc.
Yeah this is looking to be a waste of time. When I click "already registered?" after several minutes I get a blank page.
Yea there appears to be an overload on the AMC 4 dish stream page.I checked it with IE,FF,and Chrome,all the same thing blank page.Did a quick google search and found this yahoo topic.

Well, doesn't work for me either. This sucks.
Guess I'll have to wait a bit, and then just download it.

You know, If Dish and AMC would quit acting like 2 year olds(I may be insulting 2 yr olds) none of this be happening, Now I am mad at Dish and AMC for this. You can blame who you want , I blame both for playing chicken at our expense! Neither is worried about the sub just the win! Guess what you are both losers in my book!

Yeah their facebook page is blowing up with complaints. Hopefully they might actually get a deal worked out.

AMC didn't cause this problem DISH NETWORK did. They are the ones acting like children, or maybe I should say Charlie is. Charlie is the person that took his ball, and went home with it, NOT AMC.
#dishsucks is a busy hashtag on twitter tonight. I wonder how many pissed off dish customers there is?
like I said.... you blame who you want, no pushback here. That was and is My view, thats all.
Those of your stirring this all up again at the eleventh hour are the ones acting like children.
