Just one.

you get to choose how you're screwed

I'm so glad there's nothing that I'm anxiously waiting for Dish to provide in HD. SciFi and Spike don't light my fire. But if TCM-HD pops up on Direct one of these days, I would seriously consider switching providers.

 

[Smitty7831]

Looks like they are staying put for now. You're fine unless you want locals in HD.

I do want locals in HD. I guess I will pay the $60 no matter what.

5409(409) - CSNWS EchoStar5 129W TP 08 ConUS beam MPEG4 HD changed to (90) CSNWS - EchoStar3 61.5W TP 32 ConUS beam MPEG4 HD

Ok. Confused here, too. This is still showing as 129W TP 08 on my box.

I'm calling dish and howling later...see what I can get out of this...

 

[j_perry_31]

i would much rather pay 60 for locals rather then sign up for 2 more years of the circus known as dish

The way this biz changes on the flip of a switch (or launch failure) I think if it was me, I'd pay for the "screwing".

Hmmm...wonder if I should run for office in NY?

just guessing here but since the report isn't shown top to bottom now i think they 'moved' the channel from 129 to 61.5 then 'added' it back as a mirror on 129. at least that's what i hope happened since my locals made the same moves

 

[cj43]

Same old news:

D* launches Disney HD, Toon Disney HD, and ESPN News HD. E* replies with "SOON".

 

[JamesJ]

Yep if you look at my RSNS for example, they were taken from 129 added to 61.5...then added to 129, so they have both 129 and 61.5 up there (FOXOH, and STO)

 

[teamlazyboy]

the big question is, was any HD markets actaully made availabe today? i see alot of moves and things (available) but i don't know what was available before

 

[GRExpert]

Digi and Scott will have some interpretations and explanations, ... they always do

Yeah, I saw that too. Are those the SD channels?

*edit* nope. I see they were listed as HD.

 

[Keyser Soze]

No, those are the HD's. I had to pay extra money for that stupid big dish just to get 118, and now there gone...but where?

 

[Primus]

Aren't they also on 110? or are those the SD locals?

 

[russ222]

switch to directv and you guys wont have to worry about all this junk every week...im just amazed at why people stay with dish...

 

[slammers2121]

No, those are the HD's. I had to pay extra money for that stupid big dish just to get 118, and now there gone...but where?

They are still there, I am watching KSDK HD(6455) on Slingbox as I type this. Not sure why it said they were removed.

 

[DSpud]

Ok, if anyone hasn't figured it out yet....THIS REPORT IS COMPLETELY WRONG!!! ITS SAYING CHANNELS HAVE MOVED WHEN THEY HAVEN'T...ITS PROVEN WITH THE STL HD LOCALS ON 118. I wouldn't put much stock in this report until dig works his magic.
