So I timed it, and this month's Dish Scape loop is 20 minutes, unlike the previous 15-minute loops. Also, it is evenly split between day and night. So, that means that the March Dish Scape actually takes place around the same time of year as when it is airing, near the spring equinox. The wild west Dish Scape aired in January, at the start of winter, yet its day scene was longer than the night scene.
Devil's Tower is Close Encounters, flying saucer is more Forbidden Planet
The only thing that would make it better would be if it said, "I am Groot!" (I know, Dish would never pay for the rights to actually do that. Some parody of that might have been nice, though.)
Do you mean on the Dish Scapes channel itself, or just this particular Dish Scape? As someone who got to see the Dish Scapes channel when it was in testing last year (long before Dish started releasing these to the public) I can tell you that the original idea was to do more of a NatureVision-type channel, with relaxing nature scenes, artwork, and maybe even aquariums like the old HD demo "fish tank" channel from back when Dish first started rolling out HD channels. Dish started testing this idea when they were still in negotiations with National Geographic, so I think it was originally intended as a replacement channel in case National Geographic got dropped. By the time Dish finally made the Dish Scapes channel available, the idea had changed, and they started with a Holiday scene, kind of like a spin-off of the Modern Holiday Yule Log channel. Now each month, the Dish Scape changes to a scene to tie in with Dish's "watch event" to promote the theme of the channels that are being featured in free preview that month.
