That channel showing Dubai Sports has not been officially available on Dish Network at all! I don't know how you could have been recieving this channels on a legitamate Dish receiver. But "INTL4" is a test channel for Dish right now.

See ya

He's in Canada and receiving channels not authorized to subscribers. I wonder how that could be? :rolleyes:

Was it / is it in the FTA mode (with no content now), John? (i am not there to check currently), ...or it lost it's PIDs maybe and became simply a Data channel?

It is not FTA and has next to no data on the Video and Audio channels.

Currently anyhow..
Time will show i guess..
