Scott. Do you really think that Eastern Arc will be pushed back a few months?

 

[dangue]

Wow, I have a busy day at work where I can't even check this forum and Dish uplinks a bunch of HD... If this happens I'll be very impressed.

 

[digiblur]

I would have to guess hans has a non echostar receiver.

Tmp 2 Twc

For curiosity sake, is MOJO a slate or is there actual data?

I've been waiting for this channel quite awhile now. Sorry if I could not decipher it myself, I am a newbie to this stuff.

 

[digiblur]

My bad.... 1,7,13 were the empty TPs on 129.

 

[kstuart]

Okay, so the list supposedly is rumored to be:

TravelChannel-HD
CNBC-HD
MGM-HD
Mojo-HD
Smithsonian-HD
WorldFishingNetwork-HD
Biography-HD
HMC-HD (Hallmark Movie Channel ??)
Showtime2-HD
TheWeatherChannel-HD

and previously rumored:

ESPNEWS-HD
ToonDisney-HD
DisneyEast-HD
ABCFamily-HD
Bravo-HD
CartoonNetwork-HD

which leaves 6 unidentified ones

 

[tigerfan33]

Several of those were not listed on the Charlie Chat that showed the logos. Not sure which one though.
Halmark
MGM
Smithsonian
WFN
Mojo
Travel Channel hd

I think these were the ones that were not listed.

The channel is just named TMP, so the only way anyone would know which channel is by viewing the channel...

 

[rfischer4073]

Ahh, thanks very much for the info.

I'll get a hang of this eventually.

 

[jself1982]

leave that poster alone long enough for us to find out whats on them temp channels, then send him a copy of terms and conditions LOL LOL LOL!

 

[kstuart]

Interesting that the 4 channels that are not HD versions of SD channels are in the 300 range, rather than the 9400 range...

 

[tigerfan33]

Well, next week will be very interesting. Tech chat on Monday. Uplink on Wed.
Something else is happening next weekend.

The content can flip flop in a heart beat so it's not a big deal just yet.

How does Dish get the rights to carry a video for testing??

Do they have to get any kind of permission from the networks to test their channel??

You would think so...but looking at the past thats not always the case.

If these go active I'm think my HD Only Package purchase will come sooner than I think. The only thing is I do not feel like fighting with the local Dish Retailer yo-yo. Only LOS to 110/119/129 is where my KU dish is at on a pole. They aren't going to use my extra coax in the ground nor are they going to dig in my yard. I don't want 129 anyways. Decisions decisions.... Have a perfect spot for LOS from 50w-95w or so though.

I'd sign up with a retailer in a heartbeat if they'd ship me a 722, Dish 1000.2 w/ a wing dish and let me install. And no, I'm not paying for the equipment up front. If I had to pay up front I'd might as well go with a self installed cable DVR.

See I am NOT nuts.

Being right and not being NUTS are two different things, Scott.
