I thought it was the other way around. ESPNU is the only SD channel I can think of on DISH.
I just got DISH to replace Cox cable so I could finally get ESPNU for the Iowa BB game. Love it so far except it's harder to reprogram my memory than I hoped. Too much tailgating in my younger years I suppose.
I had this problem. Now they charge you 7.99 a month to cover service calls or equipment problems (that you rent) or you pay as you go at 50 bucks a call. Sucks because I have something go wring on average of once a month in the 4 months I have had it. I did the protect plan but I didnt want to and was going to cancel but havent because ar the rate **** breaks or has a problem. I had that problem and fixed it by resetting the genies from main consul after resetting each one.
Had the same issue. We finally furnished rhe basement and tries to move the mini genies from the bedroom down just to see...didn't work.
We were going to get it set up down there anyway so we just bit the $50 bullet.

Did they give any indication, how does the system KNOW that you've moved it? That totally freaks me out.
I have moved many boxes as well and have had no issues. I actually just bought a house and have been moving boxes since the new Samsung and Sony tv's have built in boxes, and haven't had any issues.
I've been Googling this and haven't found much on people having this same issue. Most are saying they can move the H25 receivers around to other rooms just fine as long as those rooms are hooked to the SWiM splitter.
I like how it's specified in the thread title that it's the first time....which seems to imply that it's a foregone conclusion that there will be a second time.
Try resetting the main Genie using the red reset button. Everything runs off of that. The client in our bedroom goes black sometimes, and we just have to reset the main unit.
Maybe this will help? https://www.directly.com/p/directv-i-recently-moved-my-tv-to-another-room-23467
Yeah, I figured. The first time I had issues with the client, I wasn't smart enough to reset the main, but I'm kind of dense. Just thought I'd throw it out there. Good luck.
I'll admit if you have an issue with mediacom and your cable is out....you may have to wait to get it fixed. But for the most part their service is stable. I called in to order ESPNU for the Iowa/IAstate game and had service before I got home. 15 minutes later. Pretty easy. And now they have a feature that when you call in for service you don't have to wait on hold...you just select the option for them to call you back when it's your turn in the queue. Worked like a champ and didn't have to sit there listening to elevator music. Maybe this is standard now adays but I thought it was nice.
Haven't had many problems with Mediacom and the phone service has been much more dependable than Qwest was--every 3 months wet weather would mess up the box. And we must be near a crux as the internet has always been strong.
But I wanted to get cable recently and went on the internet, and saw that i could get the 3 package deal for $99 --and $100 card from Amazon. Turns out it was a third party offer Mediacom didn't honor because I already had 2 of the services. Mediacom's site clearly makes this distinction--the third party site does not. I was a little pissy, and chatted with the third party site.
Eventually, a Mediacom person called me back and I am getting basic cable for only $20 a month and no contract, which is great cuz I'm only keeping it past the World Cup. We set up a time for 1-1:30 3 days 4 days later. So, I'm home at 12:30. From 1:45 to 2:15 I make 3 calls to find out what's up, get cut off twice. Third time I'm going to get a call back, but by then I have to leave home. Get back at 4 and call again, seeing that mediacom had called me at 3:30. My customer service rep calls the dispatcher--too late to get any one else out that day. We set up a time for 1-5 Saturday, and she gives me a $20 credit.
So, I'm home all afternoon today. Finally call Mediacom at 4. Turns out my rep made the appointment, but the dispatcher never got the notice. My next available time is 1-5 on Tuesday, Christmas Eve, which is slightly irritating, but really, what choice do I have for the service I want? I get another $20 credit, and I suppose I'll just have to call at 1 on Tuesday to make sure the dispatcher has me in the queue. Although, I might get snuck in Monday. The rep was very apologetic and understanding.
The punchline : the customer service rep THANKED me for not yelling at her. She said "I get yelled at a lot."
