Looks like those who were on Dish Network last night had some technical issues with the WWE HD audio feed coming in and out and skipping throughout the evening. There is a thread dedicated over at SatelliteGuys about this  http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/122742-wwe-hd-audio-issues.html.

Also, I can verify that during the actual Rumble on the SD feed on Dish Network, there were issues with the SAP Spannish Feed cutting in and out every few seconds...

Was watching both the Canadian Bell Expressvu and American Dish Network feeds of the Royal Rumble, and noticed a very interesting difference between the two feeds. Expressvu had the standard SD feed of the PPV, with the WWE logo in the corner and everything 4:3, yet on Dish Network it was the 16:9 WWE HD feed that was being shown to ALL customers. Those who were not watching on the HD station but rather the SD PPV station were getting a converted letterbox feed, with black bars on the bottom of the screen and the WWE HD logo even though they were not watching HD.

It was actually a smart move by Dish Network in the end, because even though the black bars are annoying, the 4:3 feed on Expressvu was still having guys cut off on the sides when they would climb the ropes and such, the same issue many were complaining about on Monday.

Not sure what other providers were doing, but figured I would pass that along.
