channels 550-552
ADVERTS 1
Should I assume that these are going to be by subscription only, since the graphic on them says "season pass"?

If it's anything like what they did for the 2008 Olympics, they'll be free. On my old cable company, at least, NBC turned on the three temp channels to carry some of the less popular events for free over the course of the games. They weren't 24/7 channels, but they did have some good supplementary material.

So I go to check these channels out (have my guide on HD only) and can not find them.
Switch guide to "all channels" and these are in SD?
Are they going to be SD only channels for the Olympics?
If so I guess I'll be watching the other NBC programming that is in HD.Mark A Sparks

550 [0n 110], 551 [on 119], and 552 [on 119] are Olympics 1, 2 and 3 - all SD. Originally Posted by Jim S.

EDIT: These have been live since the new HD went up this afternoon. Dish "Season ticket" logo and music - not intermittent.Last edited by chicagonettech; 02-10-2010 at 08:43 PM. Reason: typo, addl info

I don't get that. Maybe it is gone now or is intermittent. Originally Posted by Jim S.

Well there seems to be normal programming them now. So I don't know why the stupid "season ticket" graphic. Unless they're going to pull a stunt like someone, maybe it was the cable company, did a while ago, and let us have the channels for a few days and then charge us for the reason of the season.

They went live today. Showing background on the Olympics.
Don't expect any actual event coverage, however, NBC / Comcast has all of that under tight wraps.Self-installed Dish 1K.1, DPP 44, 110, 119, 129. and 118.5. 2 x 722K w/OTA, 1 x 722
