Sci-Fi HD...when can we watch?

**Paradox-SJ** · 12-13-2007 03:33 PM

Tech question:

What 'kind of bugs" are there that could be causing this issue?

Back haul?
Up link?
Modulation?
(i am pulling terms out of my a**)

Anyone versed in this broadcast science that could speculate for a purely academic discussion?

Heck, again, it doesn't HAVE to be technical. It COULD just as easily be contractual, but of just such a nature that Dish thought it would be worked out quickly enough that they chose to leave the stations uplinked.

Or, E* could just be playing with us...."nobody buys HD PPV anyway, let's throw up something interesting and watch the guys on the web dance".

Again Dish is losing money by having these two channels up there but not using them, so something happened. They would not have dropped revenue generating PPV service just to have the space sit there empty.

Do these PPV channels (the HD particularly) really generate a lot of revenue for E* or are they truly taking up premium real estate space that could be better used for more national HD channels to satisfy clearly hungry customers (at least in this conversation)?

Why does Spike tv have 2 channels up on ch.168 and ch.9395? It says Spike V on ch.9395 but is showing the same programming as on ch.168. Thank you for any replies

Remember, Scott said he liked Friday's, crap, that was last Friday.

It's been there for a week, don't know why though.
