This morning I did my monthly check and updated the 3 posts at the beginning of the thread to be accurate as of 6/1/2024. Incredible how stable the channel locations have been since the 129 satellite went out of commission.

And I think it was today - when I go to Dish's channel listing for it, it still shows it is only available in SD. Usually 24 hours after a channel changes to HD, the individual webpages for each channel automatically update, whereas the PDF channel listings take a month. MyDISH

And very recently, Dish launched 260 in HD. TBN. Either yesterday or today.

Either yesterday or today, Dish launched TBN in HD. Channel 260. The SD version is gone. The HD channel is on 110, TP 21, which is an interesting transponder choice because there are no other HD channels on the transponder.

I am guessing that the NFL did the math that it was more profitable to go the route of YouTube. YouTube is paying the NFL north of $2 billion per year - guaranteed money regardless of how many subscriptions they sell. If they went the PPV route available to all providers, at a $400 price tag...

I am excited for this channel! I feel like this was Boomerang in it's earlier days.

MLB.TV has the option to buy a single team, NBA League Pass has the option to buy a single team. Now, the prices are ridiculous for a single team - if I remember right, NBA Team Pass was $90 for a season, but $100 for the full League Pass. MLB.TV single team is $120, which the full blown...

When I heard this, I was shocked. I had no idea he had cancer. Growing up I always enjoyed him and Steve "Snapper" Jones were working NBA games on NBC. R.I.P.

I did the monthly channel scan, and everything is status quo in terms of what channels are on what transponders. But the removal of the ESPN alternates last week got me thinking... 144, 145, 146, 147, and 148 are all free (although I do know 148 is sometimes used for a mirror of TrvTV during...

And there is talk that the NFL will opt out of the current deal 4 years early - at the end of the 2029 season - and renegotiate deals. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/get-ready-for-all-nfl-broadcast-deals-to-be-scrapped-as-of-2029 At that point, will the streamers...

This past week Dish removed channels 144 and 145 - they were the ESPN alternate channels. I don't recall the last time they were used. In the past they were used for the reverse mirrors of games on ABC/ESPN2 as well as the women's NCAA basketball tournament. But the past couple of years those...

Hard to believe that just 2 years ago, in order to watch all the national games, I just needed my OTA antenna for CBS/FOX/NBC and Dish for NFL Network/ESPN games. (Amazon prime was optional because the games were also on FOX or NFL Network) Now to watch all the national games, I need...

Thanks to Jimbo for pointing out that I put this in the wrong thread...but I was hoping that this wasn't going to be the case and all the MNF games would be on ABC again. It was so nice to have games OTA every Monday night last year. I don't know the economics gained by putting the games on...

I am in the same boat as you. I got the Peacock $20 deal for a year on Black Friday, and the $20 will go a long way - got me the Christmas weekend NFL exclusive and the exclusive wild card game this past season, and will get the Packers/Eagles exclusive this year, will also get the Big 10...

Next Month is the "Still Unexplained Dish Scape" set at the base of Devils Tower, is full of peculiar happenings, alien visitors, and more excitement than ever. Seems like they are reusing the March 2020 Dish Scape as that one was at the base of Devil's Tower. Unless it is a different view?
