Thanks to Steve Donohue for the mention!

The techs at Dish and SES deserve the adult beverage of their choice(*) for the extra hours they must have put in fixing this. Also kudos to the programmers who seem to have foreseen something like this happening. I'm amazed that the receivers came back without any user intervention.

Maybe the sportscasters are afraid that they might upset some religious groups that do not partake... 
I can't. He acts as though he's never experienced a power outage before. Same thing. Just gotta wait till it comes back on.I agree with steve on that column 100%
i agree thing happen and we wait till it comes back on but dish should of found a way to tell us what was happening instead of keeping us in the dark until everyone started calling in and chatting with them online.dish should also tell us what happened to cause the satellite to go out
Well thanks to Swanni to then.
BTW a tale of the tape from last nights event..
As noted we broke our all time record for amount of people online, which was almost 6,000!

Thank you to all our members, sponsors and pub members who have made all of this possible!!!!

Easier said than done in an emergency situation, IMO.
I guess I'm so used to problems w/129 I just assumed (there's that word again!) it was something on my end! My only 'net connection at home is my iPad. That certainly would have been up to the task. But it was in my car, and it was already 11 PM...yadda, yadda...! Next time - no excuses...!!! (I could have been #6,001 on line!)Bhelms,
Lesson learned... always check SatelliteGuys FIRST.
I can't disagree with anyone here as I'd like to know exactly what happened too, if only out of curiousity. But to be fair, even my power company does the same thing. When the power goes out, all you get is a busy signal and can't find out about anything. You just sit in the dark until the electricity comes back on.
I couldn't watch Judge Judy in high-def yesterday. I want a refund! LOL
Seriously, thanks to Dish Network for resolving the problem overnight. The inconvenience was minimal. I have been with Dish since 1999 and my service has always been very reliable.

Ty scott and all the dirt team members ses and dish for getting this resolved as quickly as possible and ty for what you did to keep us up to date what was happening
Isnt it funny Judge Judy has the same amount of wrinkles in HD as she does in SD! I don't know how she does it.
Yes indeed a great job was done by the folks at SES Americom and also the folks manning the uplink centers for Echostar.
