DISH Network unexpectedly ceased transmission of U.S. television content from the 77W orbital slot earlier this week. We have issued a sales/technical bulletin that addresses:
  • What we currently know about this outage

DISH Network cessation of U.S. channel broadcasts is affecting all subscribers to U.S. content via the 77W orbital slot in the dark shaded area in the map, regardless of manufacturer or model of satellite TV antenna.
