Looks like we can see Fox News HD on 9477 but it's red.

Why?

i saw it too and it says when i click it that it's a subscription channel and to call
I assume it's just not really active or in transition. finally something new happening and starting to show up

I dont know boys, I just upgraded to the gold 250 and I am getting fox Business HD. No one else is yet ?

 

[Dgenx321]

Nope, not here...

I have AT 250 plus HD platinum and I have it in red on 9477. Weird

Are these new channels on the same TP as Versus HD? Man looks like lots of compression on the NHL game tonight St Louis/Detoilet.

Ehren, I thought you were Minnesota alum for some reason

 

[jwgreen68]

Both will be available tomorrow. FoxB HD will only be available in Gold HD

Thank you! Does your crystal ball have any other channels or should we just get more Doritos?

 

[jwgreen68]

No crystal ball. Went to Dish tech support and asked them!

 

[jlhugh]

i guess they can feed us a channel a day so it feels like we are getting more hd than we actually are.

 

[ehren]

my account on dishnetwork.com says I have Gold $10 and platinum $10.

What the hell does this only available in gold HD mean?

 

[cmcnabb]

I have AEP + HD. I can't see having to *downgrade* to Gold HD to get Fox Business HD. Yet, I don't see Fox Business HD in my guide *at all*. Not even in red.

no but I like the Wild.

1) Flyers
2) hawks
3) Wild

 

[jwgreen68]

Some of you are making this more difficult than what it is. If you have AEP plus Gold HD, then you get FoxB HD. If you have AEP only, then you'll get FoxB SD. It's tiered the same as Fox News.

If it was tiered the same as Fox News, then I would be able to watch it right now.

Dish is making this difficult by launching earlier than expected.

Why would you have to downgrade? If you have AEP and Gold HD, then you're set. Each SD package has an HD equivalent. For ex: You can't have the lowest SD package and Gold HD. But, you can have AEP and any of the HD packages that you want.

 

[jwgreen68]

If it was tiered the same as Fox News, then I would be able to watch it right now.

No, you wouldn't because it's not "on" until tomorrow. regardless of what the uplink report says. Remember, thats only tables, not actual streams.

It's not "launched" yet. If we didn't have an uplink report here, we would have no idea what is going on. Till Dish turns on those transponders and starts the video stream, there is no channel.

Well I guess the HD gods are granting only me this channel tonight. I am watching it right now
