I take it you are referring to The Horror Channel. I'm really hoping that Dish Network gets this channel, but I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. It's too new, and both companies don't think there's a big enough demand yet.
I think if it were online and coming they would have done their best to roll it out the night before halloween. But then again, they should have rolled out THT-HD on opening night of the NBA on 11/2. Somehow comcast sports SD and altitude SD were more important.
