Why is my Cisco Receiver displaying 'Program Not Authorized'?
- CCarolyn HooverSep 8, 2025
The 'Program Not Authorized' message on your Cisco Receiver indicates that your current subscriber services do not include authorization for the channel you are trying to watch. To resolve this, verify that your services are authorized. You can check the signal status in the Dish Setup menu or contact your service provider to confirm.
