guide data for subchannels if you get your locals OTA

 

[RandallA]

Ah, thanks Berg!

 

[db2]

Does this mean those of us who get locals OTA but don't subscribe to dish locals will now get EPG data??

depends on the box

If you have a box that requires you to subscribe to locals via DIsh to get guide data (like the 622), then no

But if you have say a 811 and dont subscribe to locals, then yes you'll see the data. I have a 811 and dont subscribe to DIsh locals and see the guide for the -1 only for most of the channels

Is A&E HD a simulcast of A&E (and another TNT stretch-o-thon)?

I never said that there was a difference between the two groups.

The BellExpressVU users have had A&E HD for a bit. I remember them saying CSI Miami is HD and few others but a lot of shows are in stretch-o-vision mode. Maybe like TNT?

I have A&E on ExpressVU and AT&T Uverse (IPTV) and its not worth the bandwidth.

I would rather see MHD (I want my MHD!)

BTW I am a Tanya Memme fan too. (And shes a Scott fan) (Ok I can WISH can't I?)

[Hall]

What do those references to Mount Jackson, Monee, New Braunfel, Spokane, etc refer to ??

 

[lakebum431]

Hall - I beleive those are the uplink facilities

 

[nitstalker]

A&E I still wont hold my breath till I see it live on my tv

HHS? How About "HD Home Shopping" Network?????

 

[jself1982]

I have A&E HD on StarChoice, not much is in HD on that channel, except CSI and a few "select" shows and I think its a lot like TNT Stretch-o HD in my opinion. And yes I do believe it is a pure simulcast channel, or at least I haven't noticed any difference.

interesting they moved the distants (NPS ones) to the spots of the old NY & LA spots (241-248)

This means that E* is comfortable that the legal challenge to NPS distants on E* equipment, is now over. Presumably, they kept the NPS distants only one new channel numbers, so they would look as separate as possible. Now they feel they can give NPS the same channel numbers as the old E* distants (which is more convenient for customers, of course).

 

[cosmo_kramer]

What?? No RSNs??

 

[ScottA83]

OK, I'm trying not to get too excited about this but a few (but not all) Cincinnati channels are listed with a Spotbeam assignment. Can we dare to dream that local HD channels are on the way? HD channels started showing up in my TitanTV Dish network grid so maybe they know something...

Once channels are assigned like this, how long has it taken in the past for them to be made available to the subscribers? Since not all the Cincinnati stations are listed (NBC and Fox are missing), I'm assuming it is going to take a while.

Comments from those of you who have gone through this process?

I just found a Wii game today so if this is real, I'd better go get a lotto ticket before my luck changes.

Don't you remember the recent uplink report that added all the channels we were waiting for?

Neither do I :haha
