Never watched it but would be a good place to put a another movie channel that shows all no-commercial movies like a few others on the EPIX package in all HD!

If they aren't going to add any interesting content, don't add any more movie channels. The stuff that most of them are playing is not very interesting.
MAV TV programming was relatively unique and in that, it was superior to most of the replacement suggestions I've seen.

They gave it to me for $5 a month for 6 months and I was interested in checking out the Crime & Investigation channel (downgraded from AT200 and lost ID).
We had that deal and it had just run out. We had BB@H free for the first 3 months of contract, then got the $2 outdoor pack for 6 months and last week before the races my husband wants to see started up, asked for another deal on one of the mini packages that carried MAV. The rep I chatted with said they weren't able to offer the $2 one again. In any event, BB@H is canceled now too. If it weren't for these silly moto races he loves, I'd be happy with something like Sling to round out our Netflix and Amazon accounts.
Chatted with a rep today about the possibility of downgrading from Hopper to a 211 and weighing it. Would require losing our 8 months or so into this contract, but could keep bill at around $20 and have basics and see what new TV services/streaming options develop in the meantime.
Do NOT downgrade from the hopper. Just chat about not having MAV and ask what they can do. Should get a credit or something

I am just curious, can you keep a Hopper if you downgrade to Welcome Pack? (I am assuming that is the $20 package Freckle was referring to.) I have Welcome Pack, and the last time I asked Dish about upgrading to a Hopper, they would not upgrade me.
It's my understanding the Welcome pack isn't a package you can get a new Hopper installed on (upgrade or new customer), but you can downgrade to it with an existing Hopper. We are downgraded to Select and with the first 12 month promotional credits, it comes out to about $20 now.
I don't see dish EVER putting Smithsonian Ch. back up.Good place to put The Smithsonian Channel!
I wish they would.............I've never had the opportunity to watch it
Scott mentioned in another thread. Smithsonian slot might be placeholder for CBS to put something new instead. So I don't think Smithsonian is coming
MAV is donezo. No one cares and we're now talking Smithsonian haha

Just as DISH has complained about other channels, notably AMC about higher and higher prices when you can get their content for free or sometimes very cheaply, so can you for Smithsonian.

X2Some of us care!!
This stinks. When Speed/SpeedTV/Speedvision went under, I was glad MavTV picked up some of my shows.
Ugh. It should be back.
