Yep, they were uplinked quite some time ago and made available last week or the week before. They will probably actually make some money off of them with the kids home from school...
I don't think customers that use the 61.5,110,119 setup can view these 8 new PPV. Only customers with the 1000.4 and 1000.2 satellite dish setups can get these. These PPV were only uplinked to the 77 and 129 satellites. So again the HD count looks good for new customers, and all excisting 61.5 HD customer , don't see nothing.
It is true that customers who are on 61.5, 110, and 119 only cannot see these channels, they are only available fromthe 77 and 129 slots. So it isn't just 1000.4 and 1000.2 users, but users who are pointed at one of those two slots.
Yea HD PPV are dumb. I can see them ,But I got quite a few friend that have the 110,119,61.5 setup.
Maybe once the 129 sat is up and running some of these hd pay per views could be converted to real hd channels . But if that is true then DISH will have a lot of satellite dish repoints or change outs to 1000.4 sat dishes. THose with 1000.2 sat dishes will be able to see them just fine as long as we take off the aluminum foil off the lnb for 129. THe only reason I use 61.5 sat is for hd stability in picture and audio quality. I really want to use my 1000.4 sat dish once I get my smart cards in the mail.
