Man, still no Tulsa Locals in HD...

A-man brotha!

 

[digiblur]

Well they can now.

I think that the reason for the 9 HD PPV channels is flexibility. When needed, they can use this TP space for say the Big10 HD games on Saturday afternoon,

No, that's what the ALT10 channels are for.

408 - TEMP [MPEG2 SD] added to EchoStar8 110W TP 19 ConUS beam (Not Available)

Could this be NHL channel since it's low 400's? I doubt it is YES. Looks like they're gearing up for Center Ice HD with FoxOhio HD (Blue Jackets) and Altitiude HD (Avalanche).

 

[tsduke]

Wonder why they did one of them in MPEG2.

539 - HDPPV [MPEG2 HD] - EchoStar8 110W TP 13 ConUS beam changed to Available

A-man brotha!

where are you at?

 

[Cyclone]

Actually, its looks like those ALT10-HD channels are taking the HD-RSN TP space. Which makes sense since a lot of RSN games are in the evenings.

This one has been there for quite sometime in the 9400's they just mirrored it.

Isn't that what I said?

 

[tstolze]

Don't think anyone commented on prices yet, I am seeing $4.99.

I have not ordered a ppv in my short time with Dish so far, how does one go about saving the ppv?

Is the new NHL channel going to be both HD and SD as well? If so, that looks likely.

Although, given the numbering, it could also be a Setanta overflow channel...

SLTV is probably this

[trido]

Gotcha thanks.

Now we have to start the chant for TBS-HD by Oct. 1.

Yes we do as the Playoff schedule is out and the first TBS game is WED OCT 3.

You will be brought to the DVR screen when you purchase a movie, just create timer.

You're probably correct Juan since it's also in the 8xx channels.

I'd say you're correct as it is also mirrored in the 800's.

 

[db2]

hmm bigten plus alternates now in hd, but all not available, do you think theyll turn them on for saturdays only?

They'll turn them on with a slate showing when there isn't an overflow game.

 

[tigerfan33]

Any word on what the hd test channel will be? Will it be the BTN hd?

 

[RandallA]

"BIG TEN HD added along with HD "overflow" channels but are not available yet. "

 

[digiblur]

[pdxsam]
