Sign-In Issues

If you are having trouble signing in to the Dish, or trouble staying signed in, here are some likely solutions:

Username/Password Problems:

If you have forgotten your password, please go here to reset it.
If you have forgotten your username, it’s most likely the email address you subscribed with. If you still need help figuring it out, please email us.

Cookie Settings In Your Internet Browser:

The most frequent reason that subscribers have trouble signing in or staying signed in is not having cookies enabled in their Internet browser for the Dish and our partner, TinyPass. To do that, find your browser below and follow the instructions. If you have any problems with this process, feel free to email us.
