Dish's site

[Mr Tony]

The site is so jacked up

go under International Basic for $10 and see this "gem" as the description

Our most popular package gives you AMC, Bravo, CBS Sports Network, NFL Network and much more. A huge bang for your TV buck, this package jams your TV full of all your favorite TV shows and much more on more than 220 channels.

CRACK!!!
Trying to compare packages and they all have the same channels in them!!!!!
WTF Dish.
DISH YOU SHOULD TAKE IT DOWN TILL YOU LEARN HOW TO MAKE A WORKING WEBSITE!!!!!!!

 

[digitalblue]

So when can we expect ESPNU HD, ESPNEWS HD, ABC FAMILY HD, and DISNEY HD or is it just going to be the same old Dishnetwork!!!!!!!!!

Just checked an HD channel update that I got from DISH .. no mention of Disney, DisneyXD, & ABC Family in HD.

Since DISH knows that the channels are there and haven't removed them I can only guess that it is NOT a mistake.

WOW! So they literally change everything in a day - not just the consumer site, but literally everything on the backend, and your mad that it isn't 100% perfect in hour one on day one. You need something better to do.

I would be almost completely happy with Dish if they added ESPNU in HD. ESPNewsHD would be nice too but the U is the main concern. The women in the house would love ABC FamilyHD too.

They have been erasing the complaints I had about Dish when I signed up last winter one by one. I hated losing MLB Network when I switched to Dish and they added it towards the end of the season. I hated watching my Detroit Tigers games on FSN Detroit in SD. Part way through the season they allocated a few extra channels to part time HD RSNs and there wasn't a single Tigers game that I tried to watch the rest of the season that wasn't offered in HD. If they added ESPNU in HD I would be really happy not to watch any more college football or basketball in SD.

The only thing left after that would be full time HD RSNs. If I don't miss anymore Tiger's games in HD this season and a minimal number of Red Wings games I can live with that. However, if they offered full time HD RSNs as well I don't think I could come up with a single real complaint about Dish. That is, of course, if these Disney/ESPN changes turn out to be true.

I agree. Plus the fact that they're listing Disney West - which was never in HD on DISH.

 

[goaliebob99]

I pointed out the mistake with ABC Family and all the Disney Channels being listed in HD on DISH's new website to the powers that be and instead of saying something like "whoops we will fix that ASAP" they instead thanked me for looking at their new site...

The channels are still listed there in HD...

I just got a call from a friend at ESPN a few minutes ago who told me they are about to get wired with a DISH Network headend. (They already have a DIRECTV headend) so now I am thinking...

Did DISH and DISNEY come to a deal and settle a long running feud?

Could we see some nice surprises today from the NEW DISH in the uplink report?

I don't honestly know for sure, but it does appear that anything is possible with the new DISH.

Scott I recently installed a dish headend at BTN also. It might be something that everyone is getting. If I could get full time hdrsns I would switch in a heart beat! Aside from getting the cband masters at work, the lack of full time hdrsns is a deal breaker! Also, I like dishes new web page Nd it could be the start of the new dish! Now if they can get the sports programming to go with it!

As I recall, it has taken some time in the past to correct errors when channels have been listed in the wrong package, etc. I'd like to think these HD versions are on the way back, but with all the lawsuits, I won't hold my breath. Also why are they even listing these as being available in HD when they currently aren't? Shouldn't they actually be available before being listed?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I haven't been able to log into any of the engineering boxes that I have access to tonight so I haven't been able to look, but it would not surprise me if all the HDSKED's they uplinked today are something different.

No in the past when there have been channel listings mistakes and I notified them the channels were removed from the page in a matter of minutes. This time when I told them they only thanked me for checking out the new site.

You got to read between the lines there I guess... or perhaps I am reading too far between the lines.

When comparing packages all the channel tiles will be listed. When a channel is not included in a package, the Tile will be transparent. I can see how this can be confusing, and I will forward your feedback.

I hope you're correct, but I still don't understand why they are listing channels not actually available.

It wasn't working correctly to begin with, nothing was showing up transparent. Now its working correctly.

 

[The Fat Man]

Leave it to Dish to get our hopes up. And now the part we've all dreaded... The waiting. I feel like a Disney cartoon or movie "Just think happy thoughts". Then again I'm the one guy who's sticking to the uplink reports over Universal Sports of all things. Like a chain smoker who just quit. That channel grew on me like a fungus. Especially in winter time.

Worked correctly for me more than 6 hours ago ..

I have the old site back up versus the new one!

Just got to my computer and saw the new site, wasn't working on my HTC. Did anyone notice the banner on the existing customer site that discusses perks? That has a sub tab of new channels. Not up yet, but there.

Remove the dev from the beginning of the url and it will work. It appears that it is just going to be a spot they will post new channels and package changes after they occur.
