why do channels not show up in the guide???

[bnewt]

there are several channels that do not show up in my guide even though I was receiving them until the special offer expired.

Paladia, Velocity, PIXL HD do not show in my guide. Neither does the pentagon channel. System is set for all channels but they
do not appear in the map down area.

what signals do you get

[sethwell]

go to the point dish section of the menu and see what signal levels are for the 61.5 satellite, transponder 14. pentagon should be on channel 9405 and should be in your list but the other channels you mentioned might not show unless you subscribe to the BB@H pack.

Once free preview is over, non-subscribed channels are hidden from your view by Dish.

Maybe it's just me, but I'm confused...So you received channels thru a special offer and now that the offer has expired you aren't receiving the channels anymore but you want to know why you aren't getting them anymore?

Kids...Who needs them!!

On a unrelated note my wife & I are both the oldest out of both of our clans sibling wise. She has 3 sisters & I have 3 sisters & a brother, they all have kids yet after 20 yrs we are still happy without any. As far as pay TV is concerned it is not a high priority for us, thank goodness.

I just took it to mean he was asking why some non-subscribed channels show up in the all-channels guide, but some don't. Which is a perfectly logical question, to which the answer is, nobody knows what the hell Dish is using for logic, not even Dish sometimes!

[Teehar]

I don't know why they would want to hide them from view either.Simple logic would dictate that customers scrolling through the guide being able to see whats on those channels in red or green might be enticed to subscribe to them.The more eyes that see them the more potential subs.If they keep them hidden many customers won't have a clue that they even exist.

[Jim S.]

Well my point wasn't just that, it was also that there's no consistency as to what appears in the guide and what doesn't! The latest example: my free year of Starz just ran out. Everything disappeared except for Starz Black, which is still there but in green. Why just Starz Black? Why not the main channel, or the whole package? (Note: I didn't check the 4-digit channels, if Starz even has 4-digit channels, but even if they're there, this one, with 3 digits, is still an anomaly.)
