Christmas Channels

[GaryPen]

Does anybody know the numbers of the Christmas channels on Dish this year?

I'm trying to find Christmas music, and perhaps visuals as well, for my workplace Christmas party. But, we have a commercial account, which doesn't have SiriusXM or DishCD, iirc. I do believe they add the holiday channels, though.

Also, are there any channels that show Christmas graphics, like a yule log, snowflakes, holiday scenes, etc? I wanna display something at the party, as well.

All the Christmas music channels are SiriusXM or DishCD (which are added each year). So if the account does not get them.....

they have a set of channels starting with ch 88 and goes through 91. not sure about the commercial accounts.

It would be nice to have a graphic like a yule log, but I don't recall Dish ever having anything like that. I know that Comcast has that, it's in HD and has holiday music with it. As for Dish, no joy lol. Not sure about your commercial account either, perhaps a very helpful DIRT member could assist.

I thought I remember DISH having a yule log. I could be wrong through. I can submit a request to have one added.

Not correct. The Holiday channels are in addition to Sirius and DishCD, and are open for commercial accounts. As I said, my company's receivers get them every year.

Thanks. Actually, I did a little searching, and it's even more than that! Channels 73-80 and 88-92. (73 should work best for us. )

Yes. A Yule log would be perfect. I may have to rig up a pc-to-video dealio.

That would be awesome! Our party is tomorrow, though.

Well, that would possibly make it difficult to have the yule log at your party, but I did get the submitted so hopefully it will be available next time. Time is always against us it seems.

I was not incorrect as stated. Now if they did add them to your account, Merry Christmas!

No. You are incorrect. But, that's ok. I was wrong once, myself.

As expected.

Yule Log runs Christmas morning on KTLA, KWGN and WPIX. Sign up for Superstations and "yule" have it.

It's a pity the Superstations are not in HD, though ...

... but that's another topic entirely.

If you have access to a Youtube app, you could always use this. Not HD but 480p should look good enough for the still images.

Thanks! But, I was originally looking to avoid using a PC for this. But, as long as I have to use a PC for visuals, I'm going with a looping PPT on the projectors, and Pandora for music. But, I would have liked to have Dish-carried visuals for the flat panel displays, which are connected to the sat receivers. I'm in no mood to rig up a special component-video source just for them.

I'm totally familiar with WPIX' Yule Log. I grew up with it!
Ironically, I hated it as a kid. But, it's actually a pretty cool thing to have for parties. And, mine is today. So, that won't work for my situation.

I'm guessing the flat-panel TVs don't have a wifi Youtube internet app...

I wish.
Sadly, they are older Samsung commercial displays. They have LAN capability, but only for displaying limited file types. No SmarTV apps. And, only component video cable is run to them from the central rack.

I am currently researching replacements for 2013.
