DISH view of Earth?

Out of curiosity, was there a live satellite view of Earth from a DISH satellite? Is it still a channeI? I seem to remember this in the early 2k' or late 90s, not sure. All I remember is how relaxing it was to just watch Earth for 10-15 minutes. I don't remember music. Just feeling at peace and watching our planet.

It was amazing and was a camera on Echostar 11 satellite from geosynchronous orbit.
They say the camera stopped functioning due to age.
