Recived this from ANON.
Ch 9879 - CHNL6 - Is showing Current TV (. This and ch 9878 - CHNL5 (showing dish logo), are currently FTA.

Current TV ... mmmm

 

[BrettTRay]

Thanks goalie. Not much happening, huh.

 

[goaliebob99]

No surprisingly very quiet. I though ESPN 2 would become available today.. but i bet it you it will be by ces

 

[Lucky]

Thanks, goaliebob.

Is there any evidence as to whether ESPN2HD is in MPEG2 or MPEG4 ?

 

[goaliebob99]

We wont know untill it offically launches

 

[bowens]

That sucks! Where is ESPN2HD? I hope they put it either on 110 or 119, because I don't have 61.5 or 129.

 

[Darkman]

http://current.tv/ (that's where it leads) - that Current TV - "current_"

 

[goaliebob99]

Bowens most likely you will have to upgrade to a dish 1000 or a wing dish at 61.5 to get any future hd programming. I think thats dish's plans..

Isnt Current TV the new Al Gore Channel?

 

[Juan]

yes www.current.tv

 

[RandallA]

Why is it in the 98xx range? It's not a PI channel, is it?

 

[TNGTony]

I don't think Current TV qualifies as a PI channel. I'm not sure if it is owned and operated as a non-profit org. See the bottom of THIS PAGE on the EKB for the rules dealing with PI channels.

 

[Darkman]

they Can test things.. wherever they feel like maybe

Well, it will have to be 61.5 because I need my SuperDish 121 for locals. You can't get 110, 119, 121, and 129 all on one dish can you?
