CONFIRMED Dish Holiday Channel Rumor

[Dekek9]

I don't have the other two channels yet. I have the gold metal package

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yup its up I see it myself (well hear it)

However where are the other two channels mentioned in the Facts Blast.

 

[BillH]

What Channel is it on

What channel is the holiday music on?

 

[Dekek9]

982

 

[JohnH]

How about the other 2 channels?

No show.

 

[TV Junkie 12]

Why is it mono?

Why do they carry all of those other Muzak channels in mono-including the Holiday channel? The extra bandwidth for music-only channels is miniscule.

 

[Chris Walker]

The holiday channel 982 isn't mono is it?

 

[Pepper]

Why do they carry all of those other Muzak channels in mono-including the Holiday channel? The extra bandwidth for music-only channels is miniscule.

Musak is mono because it's designed to be piped thru PA systems in businesses, just speakers all over the place, no specific design for stereo separation.

 

[JohnH]

The holiday channel 982 isn't mono is it?

Yes, it is mono.

it may be old but still has merit

Stone - Nice note. Missed it last year. What about adding 721's in your list?

 

[kvhollis]

Well unfortunatelly I am told its not a rumor, I guess its listed in the Retailer Facts Blast (I have not got mine yet to see it)

However some good news there will be 2 Holiday Channels available if you have AT120.

Continuous Christmas music will be broadcast on two SIRIUS channels through Christmas Day, December 25: StarLite (ch 2) (DISH ch 6002) will play traditional and contemporary Christmas holiday music, and The Roadhouse (ch 62) (DISH ch 6062) will feature holiday country music.

Bah humbug! Fooey on Charlie. I was really looking forward to it again this year. I turn it on while we are putting our Christmas stuff out and have it on the rest of the season.

Fooey. Fooey. Fooey.

Never mind.... it's there today and no rumor. Hopefully we'll see some Sirius Holiday Music too.

*** THIS RUMOR HAS BEEN CONFIRMED ***
*** PLEASE SEE http://www.satelliteguys.us/showpost.php?p=728942&postcount=19 FOR MORE INFO ***

This is just a rumor, but I am hearing that the Dish Network Holiday Channel (which will be uplinked this week) will ONLY be available to AT180 subscribers.

Let's hope this one is NOT true.

Just passing along what I am hearing.

Why do you say confirmed when it is just a rumor?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Sorry but it is confirmed from an official email from Dish Network.

Please see http://www.satelliteguys.us/showpost.php?p=728942&postcount=19

No idea where the two channels are that both Dish Network and Muzak are advertising but this again was confimed with an official email from Dish Network.

 

[JohnH]

The channels MUZAK is reporting have been available to their Commercial customers for years.

The channels E* is reporting in the email are the same channels and one of those is now available to all subscribers of DiSH Network on channel 982.

Do not expect the other one to become available regardless of what the email said.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Thanks John.

I can only report what I receive.

Happy Turkey Day!

 

[EJMCOL]

Dishnetwork is ungrateful. I'm going to call my Congressman and tell him so.

.....oh, wait.....

 

[cablewithaview]

at least SC has the "Fireplace Channel", to bad no one can do something like that here.

 

[Sparkman]

I now only have supers & CBS HD & I have 982 also.

 

[kd4ulw]

I'm not sure that D* knows what they are supposed to be doing!

Right now, 6002 'StarLite - Light Pop Hits' is playing Christmas music.

6003 'Sirius Love - Christmas Love Songs' isn't playing any Christmas music. The info page says, "Happy Holidays from Sirius! Sirius Love will return on December 26th!" Maybe someone should tell them they need to PLAY Christmas music!!!

Also, 6086 'Sirius Pops - Classical Christmas' is playing some fairly 'highbrow' holiday tunes.
