Dishonline thinks I'm in North Dakota!

[kmkohler]

I have a very strange problem with the guide at dishonline.com. My local HD channels are all replaced by channels in North Dakota. I'm actually in the Eugene, Oregon DMA. The SD versions of the channels do show up. This problem has occurred off and on for months

Here's a screenshot for those who think I've *got* to be making this up.

What dish moved you instead you moving?

 

[MattG@DISH]

That's.... interesting. Does this only happen at dishonline.com, or also using dish remote access?

Will you send your phone number or account number in a PM to me please?

 

[kmkohler]

Yes, interesting!

Remote access works correctly. That may be why I thought the problem was erratic.

I've sent you a PM.

Apparently so! I have nothing against North Dakota, but it is quite a long way away.

I had the exact same problem and Zach from the DIRT team fixed it.

Nothing new to me. Dishonline includes and sometimes replaces my Ct locals with Raleigh NC locals. It always includes WRAL.

Yeap, this is not new or unusual. Many threads about this in the past..... My Dayton OH locals were routinely swapped with locals from Arizona or somewhere in the southwest. Let me check to see if it's happened again.

Edit:
Nope, still showing proper locals at the moment.

Something similar happens to me. Occasionally, the program guide will not only include my CT locals, but will include a lot of significantly viewed stations from RI and Boston that I do not normally subscribe to.

And now it's not....

Channel 2 (cut off - WDTN), 7, 16, 22, 26, and 45 are correct. The others are not from my area... Note channel 29 and "Eyewitness News at Noon" at 3pm ?

If you log out and back in (try more than once), does it still show them? And are you using DRA, or dishonline.com?

 

[Hall]

It's dishonline.com (if you go to the Dish Remote Access page it nags you that it's going away and to use DishOnline instead )

Note that when it did this before (with DRA), it didn't show my locals at all. Now it's showing mine and someplace else's.

Logged out and back in (one time) and it's okay now.

I have Dayton locals and it has happened to me too.
