No El Rey.
However, for those who like Stargate SG-1, it looks like Comet is uplinked. That is all that my sister used to watch on El Rey, so she will be happy.
No El Rey.
SG-1 is also currently available on Amazon prime.
I did watch El Rey occasionally and might have watched it more if it were in HD. As for Comet TV, does anyone know generally how long a channel will remain in testing before it becomes available?No El Rey.
The only real way to tell is to just keep watching the uplink reports. Generally, it usually takes one or two weeks, or it could take up to a month. Any longer than that, and it may be time to start getting concerned that the channel might not actually get added.

Last one out turn off the lights and lock the door.
If you want to see Comet TV, it does stream for free, and on several free packages on the Roku. Also OTA in many markets.
I already have access to it, which is how I knew that it carries Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis. I was just saying that the Dish feed would be nice for those who do not have high speed internet access, and cannot get Comet OTA, either.
Geez, I wasn’t expecting my thread to get so many responses. Doesn’t matter to me anymore, though. As I currently canceled all the news channels I stream as well as my premium channels (and currently don’t plan on getting HBO and Cinemax if they come back) as I am paying off my debts and after that’s done I’m going to save up for going back to college. After college plus a good career, I’ll most likely resubscribe to these services. All I have right now is Dish Network’s America’s Top 250 and two SiriusXM subscriptions, not to mention Spectrum internet. And even that stuff is too much at the moment.
Is this the case or did the channels that got taken down decide they really needed the money Dish was offering at the time?
I think it is interested that Dish noted that AT&T was askign Dish to pay for more subscribers than they really have (so pay us for 100 people when only 50 have subscribed).
Now DirecTV is offering HBO for free on their streaming service - who is actually going to be paying for this? So you as a Dish customer tell them you are fine paying more money so other competitors can offer the same service for free to their people? I really think that if the same thing comes over to Comcast, Spectrum and COX cable outlets all get hit with the same demands and all of them decide "we can do without you", it will either drive an exodus to DirecTV or it will result in AT&T having a massive hit on their stocks as suddenly the HBO field has no money coming in (since Direct is not paying them to use it on their services)
After you come back from college it could be a whole new world

I wonder how this will work in areas with internet data caps (which are coming pretty common?)
It will just cost more...…. and more…… and more.
Actually, from what I've been reading these streaming services that were once so attractive, as they raise prices significantly while reducing available content, aren't so attractive anymore.
I have a feeling that people who get their internet through AT&T that it would not count towards their data cap. But all the others it would.
Good point on that. Even if the streaming packages don't increase a lot in cost, the cost of the internet providers will. No data caps here, but I wonder for how long. Of course once 5G gets out, that will be more competition.
And the free ad supported streaming services like Pluto, etc, just keep getting more and more subscribers...
