DISH Network Issues
So I’m on day two of a camping trip and I found out yesterday DISH Network got hacked and much of their internet system is down. When I take the RV out I have to wake up the receiver in the RV since apparently they go offline after a few weeks without use. Normally you can do that online on their app. But I found out I can’t access the app. When I’ve tried to call I get put in a Que with a voice saying the weight will be over one hour. Apparently all their customers are having issues and calling in! This hack is supposed to have happened on February 23rd and they’ve been trying to fix it since then apparently without luck. The Satelite TV system itself still works fine, the only thing down appears to be their website and other internet access. So if you plan to hit the road and need to wake up your received, prepare to sit on hold for a while.
