Free preview of NTGHD - 9429 till 7/7/06, then HD Gold and up.

HGHD on 9461
NFLHD on 9426
STZHD on 9435 with sub to starz.

Guess I'm slightly disappointed, I hoped NatGeo would be given to all HD subs.


The hard part is I interupted my James Bond movie marathon viewing to look at the new channels, and now I'm lost in my movie Dr No.

 

[psumattDE]

Oh yeah, still no Sleuth????

 

[goaliebob99]

Add to the list

256 Sluth

Sleuth must be AT180, I have HD Silver and it is red. Bummer... Now two channels that launched to push for that $10.

 

[jcrandall]

Add to the list

256 Sluth

Sleuth is on 198.

Observations from a quick downstairs check (I work at home):

Not that I really care but why is the Baby channel not part of the AEP?

If your EPG only goes an hour or two for the new channels, do a switch check which will force an update of the guide.

Not sure if StarzHD is actually HD right now but I'm not that impressed with the PQ so far.

NGHD appears to currently be running an SD program.

NFLHD also currently running SD

HGHD in the middle of a bunch of ads.

I'll check it out a little more in a little while but I've got to get some drawings done right now.

OH, and Sleuth looks pretty good for an SD channel

You guys do know that the Baby Channel IS a SUBSCRIPTION channel, right? $9.99 extra / month.

Thanks - just found out in another thread.

The Dish Network web page for Bronze states that National Geo HD is a part of that package. You mean it is not on for the Bronze people.
