EPIX is uplinked!

EPIX is uplinked!

Is EPIX also uplinked in HD I could not see?

Looks like only SD for now.

Yes EPIX HD is uplinked, it is on TMP65 which is on channel 4835 which is coming off of both 129 and 61.5.

The reason its not listed in the uplink is because the channel was already uplinked with the TMP65 name. :)

Anyone heard anything about Quad Cities HD Locals?

I know they were delayed (when they were supposed to go live last week), but just curious if anyone knows why, or WHEN?

Is EPIX also uplinked in HD I could not see?
SD, only - so far. Hopefully another uplink will occur today.

Probably one of the much ballyhooed TMP channels.

Epix even has guide data, The Golden Child is on now follow by Iron Man.

CW HD in NOLA....nice!

Another uplink coming today to turn on Epix then? :)

Scott that mean it's on air????

Scott that mean it's on air????
Sort off.

It appears that the SD and HD channels now have data on them. So its on the air for the Dish techs at the uplink.

However at this time it is not available to customers. We dont know when (or ven if) it will be turned on to customers.

There have been times in the past a channel was uplinked but was never made available to customers and later (sometimes month later) was removed form the uplink.

So we are close... how close is the question.

Any info on what package EPIX will be in?

Sounds like Epix all depends on one thing....the signature on the contract.

Any info on what package EPIX will be in?

Same question here since I have only SD receiver.....I can get that channel...& will be great to have in 1 of the package preferably 200 or 250

I figure if it was in Platinum it would be in the 300s channel range so maybe Classic Gold 250 instead.

I have 250 and wouldn't mind having another movie channel to go along with TMC and Encore channels.

Hoping another uplink comes along to turn on Evansville local HD

Odd Epix is is on 292, around ... nothing. The PPV guide and Reelz are the only other channels up there until you get to premiums.

I'd like to see them turn on the Fox Anchorage HD that was uplinked a while back.

While I am hoping for another uplink for today, I am also hoping there is not another uplink today.

My 6 year old son did something and now internet is not working at my house...

I will be leaving work for home in about 15 minutes. :)

Hope there is no uplink between now and then. :D

How about ESPNU HD CHARLIE??????????? really getting old CHUCKLES???????????

I personally thought when they got the new bird in the air there was going to be more additions, but they sure are taking there time. probley saving everything for febuary when they raise the rates.

Plus one on that!!! Add NBC too which has been uplinked since Jun of 07!

I wouldn't be a bit surprised.

Hmm never heard of EpixHD.. Is this a new channel or has it been around awhile??

EpixHD - Big On Any Screen (http://www.epixhd.com/)

It's new... it launched on October 30th.

What package do you need to get epix?


Thanks

What package do you need to get epix?


Thanks

Right now you need an engineering package. When it is launched to customers? No one knows yet...

what about the other TMP HD channels Scott, can you share with us what HD channels are uplinked on them?

what about the other TMP HD channels Scott, can you share with us what HD channels are uplinked on them? That I dont know. I can only go by what my contacts tell me. The channels are scrambled and I cant see them.

EPIX page on Wikipedia lists EPIX on Dish Network channel 292
did someone who works at EPIX change the Wikipedia page?

EPIX page on Wikipedia lists EPIX on Dish Network channel 292
did someone who works at EPIX change the Wikipedia page?
Actually, I got a little excited about it being uplinked so I went ahead and edited that page since I have an account with wikipedia.

I felt since it's coming to DISH sooner or later, I might as well update it.

I just edited it to say it is available as a $15.99 premium package...

j/k :p

Hopefully that doesn't tick anyone off at the corporate level and everyone backs out of contract negotiations leaving Dish without Epix.

Wikipedia does say this...

"The single channel was available to Verizon FiOS subscribers for free for the channel's debut weekend with a monthly subscription to the channel costing $9.99 per month [11](in comparison, a subscription to multi-channel services such as HBO costs $14.99 a month, while Cinemax, Showtime and Starz each cost $12.99)."

While Dish does not have to offer it as a premium, it appears that Epix parents want to make more than $.25 per sub.

Then I found this in a USA Today article from March...

"Greenberg wants operators to include Epix in their packages of digital, movie or HD channels — it wouldn't appear as a separate charge on customers' bills the way premium services usually do. He'll sweeten the deal by making the channel's movies and shows available to their video-on-demand services.

He's asking companies to pay $1.50 a month for every subscriber who can see Epix. That's about 50 cents more than operators typically pay for ad-supported basic channels such as TNT, but far less than they provide to sports services such as ESPN, which costs about $3.65."

So we can all agree I have no idea what I am talking about.

Well 1 channel for 10.00 per month doesnt sound like they will have a lot of subs

When I went to this channel it says stay tuned for a new interactive experience.

Anyone have any ideas???

It's just like channel 99 - just another interactive ad channel.

Channel 99 is showing PPV previews as well as an interactive icon that says "Press SELECT to order tickets".

It's pretty cool. Previews for the movie "2012" is showing.

Makes me long for the Voom days again. F channel, Peladia still nothing compared to Vooms. Now Epix and charging more for less? Hmmmm.. where's the excitement in this?

I liked watching Monsters HD every Halloween.

Hopefully they are taking your advice Scott and capitalizing on being the HD movie channel leader! I know I for one hope so.

How about ESPNU HD CHARLIE??????????? really getting old CHUCKLES???????????

Here, here! :up

I am paying enough for TV and I am not going to pay more. If anything, I am looking to pay less, or at least keep it the same. I think I am paying too much now because of all of the "nickel and diming".

Unless Epix offers something more than movies 9 to 36 months after they are released, what good is it really? There are already plenty of movie channels which do that--what particular benefit accrues from one more?

Fitzie

The only thing going for it is they took a stranglehold on movies from their affiliates. Other than that it will not be worth it if they charge a premium price for a premium set with only one channel, and no special series to pad it.

It should be included in the top 250 with NO price increase at all. Otherwise I don't see many people subbing to it. Premium prices are too high and going up every year or two. Who would think that anyone would be paying $15.99 a month for HBO ? I can remember when all premiums were $9.99 a month. If it weren't for original tv series like True Blood, I would never sub to HBO at all. So charge $9.99 or more , a month for one channel for EPIX and see if they get many takers.

If it weren't for bundling everything with AEP, I wouldn't have one single premium.

Cinemax for a penny is what I pay and for as much as I watch it the price is about right. No other premiums here.

The catch with Epix is that they are supposed to offer free online streaming of the same movies from their site and free access to on-demand content from their library with subscriptions to their premium service.. what makes me curious is exactly how dish will offer the on-demand side of Epix. Perhaps that is the hold up.....

Actually according to Epix if you are a subscriber, you can watch any movie on their site from anywhere.

My Dish Network VIP 722 HD DVR has Dish Interactive,
and it has Showtime Interactive and STARZ ON DEMAND
STARZ ON DEMAND has The International and Rachel Getting Married.

Ive had my 722k hooked up to the ethernet but how do u find starz ondemand? Is it just in the crazy long text list of content on DISHonline?

Go on your guide to Dish channel 100 and hit select button on your
remote or press the silver dish button below play on your remote.

You will go to a screen with 6 video screens scroll over to entertainment
on the bottom of your screen and select STARZ On Demand.

You can only watch the STARZ Movies On Demand if you subscribe to STARZ.

Sort off.

There have been times in the past a channel was uplinked but was never made available to customers and later (sometimes month later) was removed form the uplink.

So we are close... how close is the question.


I remember that Dish uplinked INHD later called MOJO HD
but never made it available.
The channel later went off the air for good.

So there was a post in an old thread today by ShortyT and --sexy-warlock-

http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/188572-new-hd-october-11.html

That indicates that BBC-HD is listed on Dish's commercial site channel 9450.
http://commercial.dishnetwork.com/programming/Default.aspx?chan=53197&section=45570

Anyone know if this channel is actually live and available to commercial customers? And why wouldn't it be available to consumer customers?

I personally thought when they got the new bird in the air there was going to be more additions, but they sure are taking there time. probley saving everything for febuary when they raise the rates.


Not so suprised by Dish handles there channel lineups. it is almost Febuary...and no new HD since November or before. so this quote looks right on.
