Some may remember the fuss when QVC (??) got moved to channel 84 and speculated that they paid to be there. On my local Time Warner lineup, they're channel # 2. I suspect the local NBC, who is "channel 2", doesn't like this though... Then again, TW and this same channel can't agree on carriage for their digital channel anyway !Yes, but part of what (some) shopping channels pay for is a prime channel number placement. I would say DirecTV is more guilty of allowing this than Dish...
