Ditto on the best wishes for the east coast.
Dish Earth - It's been Temp. Unavailable every morning for over a week, but has been
viewable later in the day. I saw it yesterday afternoon with a decent picture.
Program guide say Off Air, but lists it as usual for rest of week.

I heard the last pictures transmitted was a little bugeyed dude trying to put in his ATM card,guess he got pissed off when it didn't pay out?
I'll miss it too. Wish it had been an HD camera with much better exposure control, so you could actually see something.
Effective October 29th, DISH Earth (Ch 287) will no longer be available due to the cameras being decommissioned. This is all the details that we were provided with.

Like many of you, I wanted to check out Sandy.

I actually used to show it to my daughter. She couldn't comprehend that it was a camera from where the stars are, looking down at us.
When I saw it gone from the guide, I was sad also. I have a great recording of when it was the first day of Spring 2012. Recorded about 3Am. Shows the thin ring of light all the way around the planet. Nice.

The only way I would have improved that channel was to have it on a more Eastern Sat. Michigan was hard to find most of the time.

Well darn, I just assumed the channel moved and had been too lazy to look it up ... but sucks to see it's gone. I also enjoyed watching it, and sometime at night while working I'd just turn it on and listen to whatever music was playing and enjoy the view.
RIP indeed ...

I wonder if there is a new camera on Echostar XVI, I don't know if we will get that lucky, but we can hope. I always enjoyed watching the earth on television because it put things in perspective. Especially with a "You Are here" sticky note on the television.
