New HD is up!

129

Don't think I can get 129 as it is very low (18.9) on the horizon for me.

 

[HDRoberts]

Alright, signed up for DHPP (622 was starting to go on the fritz anyway) and talked my way into the 1000.4 EA dish installed for $15, plus got them to give me the 3 months of Showtime and HBO.

Any commitment?

I got the song and dance about paying $95 to "upgrade" to get the new HD. I'm in talks with the loyalty dept as we speak.

I've never had a problem with Dish in the 4-5 years I've been with them, but I won't pay an "upgrade" fee to get something that others get with the same package. That's a bunch of bull.

 

[HDRoberts]

Any commitment?

None.

 

[yaz96]

None.

Well, now you can knock 4 of those channels off your sig!

 

[desifan]

I have classic bronze + HD. Am I getting any HD channel other than E!HD?

 

[HDRoberts]

Well, now you can knock 4 of those channels off your sig!

Yes, indeed. I did just upgrade to AT200, although that was mainly for they MSNBC Olympic coverage.

Also, which of these is new?

187 - HMC
185 - HLMRK

185 HLMRK-HD is the new channel.

Hello everyone, I'm sure this is going to be a very common question for a while, but I was wondering if anyone could help me out with this whole 61.5 HD ordeal.

I live on the east coast and currently have both a Super Dish and a Dish 500. Is there ANY way I could get these new channels without calling Dish?

I would really like to avoid having them come over to upgrade anything, if possible.

Thanks in advance!

 

[jlfarris]

Now I'm being told I can't get the "upgrade" to 129, so I'm screwed...meanwhile I'm paying for HD I can't even get!

 

[Dish VIP]

Someone help me here. Is the problem that people who are on 61.5 for locals are not going to get new HD?

That's what it appears to be. Dish is even confirming that 61.5 won't have the new HD for a while.

Dish CSRs will not have any "official" information on these channels until tomorrow.

Try again then.

In fact if you havent called yet the WAIT until tomorrow.

 

[Poke]

Yeah I would think folks could get a different dish setup to get these channels as well. Sounds like folks are on some old setups still.

 

[jmccurrytech]

I have a Eastern Arc and a Dish 1000+, I think I'm good

 

[avp]

Bingo! They don't care about the people in the Ny area
that cannot receive the other sats. Spoke to loyalty department nothing they will do.

I think they might have the data. I chatted with a CSR. After confirming the time with me, she directed me to Indieplex, asking if I could see it (of course not). So they mush have some info on it.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yeah they have some basic info, but it wont be in the system officially until tomorrow.
