Solution 1: Check when the program airs
Check the programming schedule. The event you want to watch may have already ended or has yet to begin.
The event may be blacked out in your area. Learn more about sports blackouts here.

Many issues, such as missing channels, can be fixed by “refreshing” your receiver. Please visit the My Equipment page and then select the Refresh Receiver link next to the receiver you’re having trouble with.
Solution 3: Reset your receiver
Unplug your receiver’s power cord from the electrical outlet, wait for 15 seconds, and plug it back in.
Press the power button on the front panel of your receiver. Wait for your receiver to reboot.
