You may need to disable parental controls temporarily... So far here no issues though...
Satellite probably has capability to receive control signals from almost any angle, otherwise a blip could put it out of commission for a long time.
Yea, tried the webite listed, me thinks they are a little crowded, won't load
I thought that they had redundant uplinks to prevent this! Im surprised that dish doesnt have a redundant 10 gig fiber loop to route between uplink centers for satellite controlling data and pushing around video.
That would have fixed the weather issue! Guess you all are really missing out on you "game time". Part time hd rsn's tonight!

If that does happen the satellite is supposed to go into autopilot and reorient itself to the earth. If of course the computer on the satellite is still functioning.
Getting further updates...
I am hearing some good news including that they are now going through some procedural checklists checking out the new satellite before putting the new satellite back in production.
If you here on the East Coast I feel very safe in saying when you wake up tomorrow you will have you HD back...

You would be surprised at how many people from DISH Network come here first to find out whats going on... (I wish I was making that up)
I can believe that the way dish website keeps going down
He's in the right thread......he just is watching his DVR and noticed the spam that he has not noticed before.
He is waiting in this thread like all of us to see when the thing is fixed!
If this is supposed to be a temporary situation that should be fixed in the next few hours, why would they go through all the trouble of removing mappings, etc.? They even removed the HD channels from my custom channel list.
Geesh Bob you work in this industry.. Redundant uplinks have nothing to do when there is an issue with the satellite itself, which is the issue we have here.
In addition this satellite is not owned and operated by Echostar / DISH Network, it is leased from SES Americom. DISH is basiclly waiting for SES to get control of the bird, fully check out the bird and before they can reload the satellite back up.
Well if your in the west, go out and see a movie and when you come home hopefully its on in time for Leno or Letterman.
Thanks for the info, I'm kind of a space nerd. So it's all just remote commands?
