Thanks for posting this! We thought we were losing our marbles and then of course couldn't get through to them either online or via phone.

Dish also had an uplink center go down Saturday night that affected a lot of customers for several hours. Two major outages in 4 days, wow!

We noticed all the HD channels gone last night. I told DW then that it was a problem with one of the satellites.

Dish said, "The nationwide outage was caused by a "satellite anomaly," a Dish spokesman told CNN."

Now that says a lot, doesn't. I guess an anomaly would be a mouse chewed through a wire and they had to send a technician up to fix it. Why can't they just say what the problem was, "A computer glitch caused by a technician pushing the wrong button." My words, not theirs.
