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 know. that bugs the sh*t out of me. everybody he talks to he stands like that.
They've also mapped down all the HD-Only channels (UNI, HDNet, etc.) into the 300 range...all except the Vooms. I'm liking it, now if only they'd do the Vooms then i could be done with the 9000 range...
not stretch o vision on weather channel. that is good.. saw some hd but now is 4x3 SD. quality is still very good.
Even thought TWC and CNBC do not have HD content they still look really good with the graphics and the better PQ.
I am impressed all around. Good job Dish!

toon is stretch o-vision... down and out... what else to expect from the creators of tnt and tbs. boooooo...
Oh, and let's not forget that guy on one of the more recent Law and Order spin offs that thinks he's Columbo.
puh-leeze. Peter Falk, he aint!
Hmmm...wonder what that could mean?!? No admission to the 300s...perhaps they'll soon be evicted from the 9000s as well?
Remember its all stretched or upconverted on all of the new national channels. Not real HD. .... jkn.
Hello... I can watch most of these channels in standard def. All you are paying for is maybe one third of real, native HD programming on SOME of the channels. Everything else badly upconverted, it looks better in SD. I'm not bitter, I just don't understand paying more for maybe 30% of real HD programming. WHy is everyone here so excited about coughing up 10 to 20 bucks for a sham? You should all call Dish and say, when you offer more than 50% real HD, I'll gladly pay for it.
Some comments are actually happy about watching Full House unpconverted. Upconverts are grainy and have poor resolution. They look worse, but hey, bring em' on and take my money while you do it. More Kool Aid gang?

Yup, We're all a bunch of HD crack whores
And you settling for BAD CRACK and willfully paying for it!
Hello.... Some of us sub to the dishHD (only) package and don't pay for SD period
So even new HD channels w/ a lot of up-converted SD are a lot better than a blank screen.Talon Dancer
I think the new channels look pretty good. Even the non-HD shows are showing clearer to me.
I like the locals on the 8's page much better than the SD channel version (not that we see our locals but it does look good). Next month TWC-HD officially launches so it will be even better then.
I would hate to loose Vooms. Especially Monsters and Rave. Charlie has every right to be mad at them but please don't get rid of them. Hopefully they learned their lesson and will spend more on programming.
