That was the answer I got from the email I sent to the ceo address. "Feedback" sent me that reply that it was unavailable in my area.

Got home today and Chiller was in my guide and I'm able to view it.

Same sat as SCIFI and USA HD.

Thanks Charlie, now how about we trade Chiller for the other two.

But just think instead of watching BSG in HD on Friday, we can catch Bride of Chucky instead.

Good point!

How stupid is it that Chiller is in the clear for all customers(including Alaska) that have the 250 package and we can watch it, but SciFi and USA HD are not in the clear for all HD customers?

Do you think any Dish customers in Alaska will be complaining if they can't get Chiller and it's part of the 250 package?

Scott mentioned in the recap of the retailers chat that they showed Sci-fi and Usa hd being broadcast form the wing satellites. Maybe they believe that they are on 61.5 and 129, not on 110. Couldn't be that dumb could they?

That may be why they are not activated for us. I think the right person at Dish just needs to be made aware of the situation and this will be fixed. Maybe if we complain long enough it'll work it's way of the chain.

Maybe getting closer. I doubt it will be until next frakking week, and not within the next 2 hours.

"Feedback" has now said the channels are on 110, and I need to confirm I get 110. Of course in an earlier email I said I got the channels in red on the guide and had a green locked signal on the tp. Sent another email, its been taking several days for the reply, and with the weekend I'm not holding my breath.

Hopefully this is a step in the right direction.
