The most common tradition that is followed by many families is that of following the path of the jolly man in a red suit during the Christmas Eve. Whether delivering gifts or traversing the world, the sight of Santa is always inspiring, not forgetting the excitement of those little ones waiting for his arrival. For those Dish Network viewers who are interested in listening to Santa’s progress this Christmas Eve, here is the information on where the Santa tracker can be found.
Where can I find the Santa Tracker for Dish Network?
Subscribers of Dish Network have a privilege to access the Santa Tracker through channel 104. This is a temporary channel that Dish makes available every year in Christmas Eve for a limited time. Channel 104 is actually Dish’s Holiday Channel which they use for the Santa Tracker during the holidays.
When is the Santa Tracker on Times?
The Dish Network Santa Tracker on channel 104 should be on by Christmas Eve at 6:00 AM Eastern Time. It will then have ongoing with constant coverage of Santa’s trip around the globe up to the time he gets to the United States. The tracker usually continues until at least 3:00 AM Eastern on December 25 for the tracker.
What is included in the Dish Santa Tracker?
The Dish Holiday Channel changes its interface into a Santa tracking tool on Christmas Eve. Children can watch videos and animations of Santa and his reindeer flying all over the world. There is also a map that will show where exactly Santa is at any given time. Other content includes:
- Santa Trivia: Some light-hearted Santa facts you can use to engage in an on-screen quiz.
- Music: Songs that accompany Christmas while waiting for Santa.
- "Naughty or Nice-O-Meter": Tells whether Santa considers someone as being on the naughty or the nice list
- Countdown Clock: Counts down how many days, hours, and minutes are left until Santa comes.
- Holiday Movie Showtimes: Promotional blurbs for other Dish network channels that were airing holiday movies
The channel is very vivid and really helps to feel the approaching Christmas Eve and the closer Santa is to the town.
Visiting Dish’s Santa Tracker Website
Apart from the channel 104, the Dish subscribers are able to log in online through their Dish account. This allows them to watch a live webcast of the Santa Tracker similar to what is being broadcasted on channel 104. Therefore, if families would like to follow the journey of Santa on phones, computers or any other devices apart from the TV, they can view it on a website.
Is it Possible to Pause or Reverse the Santa Tracker?
DVR recording is not available since channel 104 is a temporary holiday channel. The Santa Tracker show is in fact a real time coverage of the journey of Santa in essence. If you go to him later, you cannot fast forward or go back to any of the scenes that were recorded. You can only see where Santa is right now during his world tour.
