smart card unauthrized mesage when i am authrized.

[joeh]

Hello,
This week my dish network 301 receivers has been acting funny. On my locals and other channels in my top 180 package, I have been getting a message that my smart card was not authorized to view this channel, press select now to purchase. Then in a few minutes it will go off, and come back on. Is this because of dish moving channels around to amc 15 or is it because I haven’t received the new smart cards that dish is suppose to be sending out to everyone.
Thanks guys, love the site, visit frequently.

I have seen this pop up twice once on each of my 510's. Stayed there for about a second. I rebooted and have not seen it since. If gets to be an annoyance call DishNetwork.

try the reboot

pull the plug for 2-3 minutes than plug back in

You might also try resetting the smart card

from what the wife has told me, it hasnt done it since about 8 last night.
I did go ahead and reboot them though just now.

If it comes back, and you have a blue card, you need a new card. Call Dish if it comes back. they'll fix it in 2 minutes

Yeah I don't think we ever got yellow cards but they talked like most everyone should have on the last Charlie Chat I watched I replace both of my recievers recently though and the new ones have yellow cards but I do have one of my old ones still activated.

I had my 921 show red for USA HIST SCIFI and some more. I turned it off and pulled and replaced the smart card carefully and it rebooted. Now it works. It had done the overnight reboot.
