Whats this channel?

[Scott Greczkowski]

While taking a look at Dish Networks website I noticed a channel in the HD lineup which is not in the lineup currently.

The channel is "Palladia" and all I know of it is that its a music channel which shows concerts and special music events and that the channel is owned and run by MTV Networks.

Could this be some kind of clue about the future?

I saw that in my local newspaper ad today, also.

Another Dish website mishap??

Now looking at things, I am wondering if MHD changed it's name, as I don't see MHD listed in the channel listings.

Maybe that is the way E*will get us to 150 HD channels until the end of the year....just start adding non-exiting/cryptic channels

Is the E* vs. Viacom dispute finally over???

MHD is changing it's name to this. It's on google searching Palladia MHD

On September 1st, MHD will be rebranded to "Palladia" a channel that's 90% live HD performances and 10% HD Music Videos

Hmm perhaps RAVE LIVES.

Yes, after some further search I also found that MHD is becoming Palladia.

Found this on one other forum:

Now one must wonder if at the same time MTV, VH1, and CMT will also start showing real HD...and if so if dish will be adding 'em before September 1...

Scott, we love you. However, you know good and well that uncensored, commercial free, repeat happy Rave HD is not the same as censor every swear word, slur, un-PC/family friendly (guns, drugs, sex, etc.) phrase and run a gazillion commercials, repeat happy MHD.

Makes sense. They are following the Discovery model of programming.

How does one properly pronounce this new channel name?

 

[dmendenjr]

Pa-lady-a (would be my guess)

Back the dial off a few notches on your literal mode.

Notice the smiley face designating tongue in cheek mode was in effect.
