Do you think they might have a weekend crew working???

Time to keep a close eye on the uplink report. The operating permit for Ciel issued today and they can now use the transponders to transmit to our receivers.

You would be the perfect Dish customer then :up

Haha. I just downgraded to Turbo HD Bronze + Dish Latino add on pack. The bill was 50 dollars this month.

Why?? The 9400's are one complete mess. And thats an understatement. I hope they Drop that 9400 mess all together.

I just don't like the mapdowns, never have, and never will. I'd rather all my HD be together out of all that SD crap in the guide. I know others don't like the mapdowns either.

You do realize mapdowns can be turned off? Look in your menu under local channels (its a wierd p[lace but thats where it is)

 

[StonesCat]

Why not just run HD on your guide, which filters all the SD out?

Don't they usually use the upper 200's for free previews?

It's been quite awhile since Dish did this. For some time now you find free previews at their natural channel number. Channel 102 says whats available and where to tune.

Perhaps they are remapping for a temporary preview, like one weekend.

The previews on regular channels usually last a month or so.

Yep I do have mapdowns shut off...but I wish those 3 or 4 channels in the higher 300 range like MGM and Smithsonian and I guess soon to be Crimes and Investigation HD were also in the 9400 range as well like all the other HD channels.

I am really hoping that all these HD channels they have uplinked in the 4000x range would be available to us, at least it is better sorted than the 9400x range, which is out of control, but better than the mapdowns.

I'm guessing they are going to move the Encores to make room for more hd in the 300's?

The mapdowns work great for me (mostly) as I lock out everything except what I'd even remotely ever watch, including all the SD verisons. My All Chan (and All Sub/All HD) EPG consists of 63 channels.

I wonder why more people don't. I visit relatives homes and it's painful to watch them try and find a program.

P.S. Hello Yes616

That's a nice thought. I'm counting on it myself.

Yes, but maybe we'll get them this year!
