Anyone with Dish have trouble getting the overflow channels yesterday (440-443)?

I only got 439 which meant Buckeye vs. Youngstown at 11am CST. I am worried neither of the next two non-conf games will be carried on 439 and only on the overflow channels.

Too complicate matters I am in California and have Americas Top 250 plus the $5/month sports tier with the additional 20 sports channel.

HELP PLEASE

The Big Ten Alternate channels are now listed at 5440 - 5443. No word as to why they were moved.

ummmmm, ok, i'm getting confused. i have the AT200 and the multi-sports package. i mostly did that for the Big Ten Network (since i live outside the Big Ten footprint). the question is, why am i not seeing the Big Ten Alternate channels? even when i hit the guide button to show all channel listings? i don't even get the 5440-5443 channels listed. it jumps to something higher---like, from 5436 to 5710?
Do you have the channels locked out? Last year they were at both this location and for 440-443 and I had locked this section out and had to take them out of the channel locks for them to reappear at this location (I had done the same thing with the HD versions as well.)

DUH! stupid me!

well, actually, not sure how they got locked out. i noticed that some other channels were also locked out (albeit, ones that i never watch, so, never realized it). anyway, it's all corrected.
Wow! I had no idea that there was a feature called Channel Locks. Now I can get rid of the annoying NBA and NHL channels that I don't use!

Thanks!
Or maybe not...they don't show up on Locks. Oh well.

They sure can be taken out of your guide, go into locks, then channel locks. You chose the channels you don't want to see, you then have to lock the system making sure you choose the hide locked feature. The selected channels are not viewable in your guide or under searches and themes. Note: older models do not have the channel locks feature.
Maybe its a 'favorites' list. You can definitly pick an choose which channels you want to see in favorites lists.
