How Long Does It Take to Restore Dish Network

After you have gone through the steps above to restart your service, it may take up to 15 minutes for your channels to return. It takes us a few minutes to beam your order up to our satellites and back down to your TV!

What happens when you reset your DISH box?

Anytime you want to erase changes made to your Dish Network receiver, you will need to reset it. Resetting the receiver takes it back to its factory defaults. Your “Favorite Lists,” except the “All Chan,” “All Sub” and “All HD” will be deleted.

How do I reactivate my DISH receiver?

If your receiver is not connected to the Internet, please call 1-800-333-DISH (3474) to activate it. Note that you will need to provide the receiver and SmartCard numbers onscreen to the DISH agent. Your receiver will go through the activation process, which can take up to 15 minutes.
