When will BeIN HD and FS2 HD come to Multisport?

[Deadlocked]

They are both in HD in 250 but not in Multisport. It really makes no sense and makes me avoid them like the plague even though I would watch BeIN constantly if I could get it in HD.

Both are already uplinked so what's the issue with giving all the available customers of the channels the HD feed?

Could you also pass along to the respective group to have the program card updated: http://www.mydish.com/filestream.ashx?ID=6051&inline=true
On the first page, it says that FS2 and Bein should be in HD in the multisport pack.

yea and if they do that then i will have to subscribe to the multisport pack to get it and i don't want to do that and if they do then i will be forced to have it added to our package.

FS1 and FS2 should be at AT120 anyway! Isn't Fox touting them la replacements for ESPN and ESPN2? Fox could take a little hit per sub on both and get them into the basic package. There is no reason NASCAR and Major League Baseball to be in upper tiers. I have to watch them on my SD cable through my cable Ethernet provider (too cheap to pay for AT200). There I feel better now!

You have to subscribe to the pack or AT250 to view them anyhow. HD is in AT250 while its SD only in multi. My point is they both should be HD.

Do I smell a credit since the card says I should have it in HD but I don't?

You do know NBCSN is in AT200 also right? Why not drop the SD cable and use that money for AT200

They should regroup COLLEGE SPORTS MULTI VIEW(151) to channel 148 or 149 . Dish should bring FOXSPORTS2 to channel 151 so it will be right under FOXSPORTS 1....

 

[Chris Leer]

yes they should regroup College sports multiview on channel 151 to channels 148 and 149 and put Fox Sports 2 to Channel 151 and that channel should be right under Fox Sports 1 next to channel 150.

College sports multi view?

Welcome Pack subscribers have been wondering that for years (about the national channels in our package, not the channels that are the subject of this thread).

Well wonder no more. DISH does not want you in the Welcome package, at least long term. Obviously they could make all the channels HD but choose not to so that eventually people will move up. Also part of it as we learned from the Disney dispute some channels cost more to DISH when given in HD.

My thoughts of what is going through Dish Management. Welcome Pack offers minimal if any profits. Why would they offer the HD versions encouraging folks to not make them money? They want to max subscribers, but as pointed out previously, Charlie wants to get rid of the dead beats. I don't mean welcome pack subs... I mean those that don't pay their bills. For instance, it costs $9 now for a 9 day extension. Don't have to charge this fee, but why shouldn't they. Every day a customer does not pay their promised amount, is a day longer on credit that Dish was paying. They also are not taking new customers at addresses that have a balance, if there is any relation at all to the previous account holder. I think that also plays into how they have increased their net profit more.

Well, when I called to close one of my accounts with Welcome Pack, Dish offered me $10 off per month for two years to try to get me to stay. So, they seemed to want me long term!

"One of my accounts"
I assure you DISH is not anxious to provide service for $9 a month, it's hard to believe they offered that even with having another account unless there are other packages added.

Well, being a subscriber for more than 15 years also helps.

Agreed!
