Theory- Why only some channels in Turbo?

  • Server Issues.

    We are very aware that there have been system issues the past few days. In troubleshooting the system, it has been determined that the issue is at our provider and is hardware related. The provider was going to move us to a new server, however we are now told by the provider the issue is at the data center in St. Louis. They have offered to move us to a different datacenter on the East Coast or West Coast, however at this time we have declined the move to a different data center as it would affect the speed of connecting to about half our members.

    We are waiting for more information from our provider, however we are trying to ride this out to stay in the same data center, so that when the server is fixed all users in the US will get the fastest connection possible.

    If after some time the issue is not resolved we will be forced to move to another data center, if this happens there will be down time, as they will need to transfer everything to the new server and we will need to update the DNS and other settings for the new IP address of the new server. If we have to do this, the time it will take to move will be out of our hands.

    We are going to try our best to weather through this, so we thank you in advance if you encounter any issues.

    Sorry for the issue!

I got one theory
E* knows you want these channels ,so He's making you pay for them.
Thats Business.
Same reason channels in the top 250 pack aren't in the top 100 pack.

It's underhanded, slimy, used-car-salesmanesque business.

They used the Turbo packages to win over people that wanted HD and were willing to go with Dish to get it.

Then they raised our rates and stopped giving us the rest of the HD channels.

Yea, it's business. But it's bad business. They're not winning a long-term customer by doing that in this house.

I completely agree. And despite what others try to speculate, ultimately Dish Network is the behind the debacle.
