View Full Version : Distant Network - No Sound on 1 Channel

I have 8 Distant Network Standard channels (NY & SF).

Been working fine for months.

Now, all of a sudden (2 weeks now), the NBC channel out of NY offers no sound. Picture is fine.

Who do I complain to?

I think Distant Networks offer no support - only sales.

Is Dishnetwork going to deal with this? Why would they even care?

WNBC without sound is better than WNBC with sound. Seriously though, I think you have to go through All American Direct (https://www.mydistantnetworks.com). Aren't they still providing those channels for Dish subscribers? If they don't offer support, maybe they shouldn't be in business.

Who are you paying? Start there ... and if you get no satisfaction you can stop paying (or at least threaten to do so).

OK, I started by calling All American Direct (their old name).

They sent a download again of all the 8 channels I get. That did nothing.

They had me do a RESET on my receiver. That did nothing.

They told me to call Dish. I did.

Dish Tech 1 could not solve it, got bumped up. Next level could not solve it.

Now, it has been sent to their Lab - the engineers will work on it from there.

They do not need me. They just told me to check the channel every so often.

Sounds like, "don't call us - we will call you". :mad:

I will update this Thread in a few days (if there is anything to update).

The thread starter lists his location as Mexico. Is Dish/AAD legally available in Mexico?

Time for the OP to check his receiver connections. It appears that the channel is working fine for others. Are the other channels in your subscription working?

...and still not sound on 241 (WNBC).

And, that is on two receivers - 722 & 622

Very strange!
