Thanks for that info. I didn’t realize that. I have the 54 remote and will try doing that setup today!

Funny how the app completely crashed right before the actual games became available. People use this app to try to look up games in advance, so the timing of the outage was kind of an epic fail, don't you think?
This thread was started on 7/19. With no games to show since March, it makes sense that no one used the app until just before they were available again.Funny how the app completely crashed right before the actual games became available.

Dish is probably just guilty of populating those games a little late....
There were updates to the Game Finder software version in the meantime. Dish is supposed to have people Beta testing these apps, right? Most sports may have had no games, but there were many international soccer games listed in the app the few times I checked during that period.
I wondered the same thing. However, there were a few sports already happening - NASCAR, Golf, Soccer. Still, it does seem like there might be a link.
Uh, the same message also said to check the internet connection, even though there was actually no problem with the internet connection on the user's end. So, not exactly as specific and concise as you put it.
Uh, seeing that both the OP and you said other internet apps were working, the internet connection part of the message could be safely ignored. That leaves the “game data is limited” part, which it clearly was!

Yes, but the message implies that the game data was limited because of a lost internet connection, which it clearly wasn't!
Correct! It was limited because at the time there were no games!!

Nah, that can't be it. I have seen that exact same message many times before, when there actually were games. Apparently, the Game Finder app still has some limited functionality even without an internet connection, getting the data from the satellite signal. For the complete listing, though, it requires internet. So, there was some glitch with the app that caused it to not recognize that there was an internet connection when there actually was one. This is not the first time this has happened (although it is the most severe case I have seen, with an actual pop-up saying that Dish is working on fixing the problem) and it probably won't be the last time it happens, either.
The Game Finder app was updated again today. With Game Finder version 1.19.0 (in Application Software version AN437a) this annoying Multi-Sport ad has finally been removed.
