| | | Smithsonian HD dropped and replaced with Crime & Investigation HD
Is this new? Or has this been around for awhile?
Smithsonian was 374 and C&I is 387

Smithsonian HD is a Showtime channel...not a good sign.
Unbelievable that Dish would drop a higher end HD channel and replace it with one that shows rebroadcasts of 48 Hours, Cold Case Files, the like.

| | | The shuffle
Have feeling this may just be the shuffle that will be taking place w/ the HD channels. Right now CI is listed as 387 and is still listed as 374. The CI listed channel 387 is nothing but black on the air. I expect that we will see more shuffling around as they start moving to new sat locations.
Boy I was wrong on that statement. The info button says that E* won't be carrying it anymore. Wonder if it is hard ball negotiations between E*and Sho nets.

It appears that Smithsonian is no longer listed in the HD packages on DirecTv's website...is it possible that they have stopped broadcasting?

| | | Maybe History
It may be gone period. There is no listing of the HD on the Smithsonian web site any more.

Oh GREAT! Another so-called HD channel showing mostly un-HD 4x3 stretch-o-visioned reruns of the same damned programs available on two other channels already stretch-o-visioned replacing a pristine, true HD channel. Yes the channel it replaced showed a lot of reruns, but there is NOTHING BUT RERUNS on CI!
This channel just BLOWS!
See ya

I know this C&I is not HD, it's Strech-O-Vision. I think I would rather have the other channel.

For some reason it seems like they take off a true HD channel and then replace it with some crap like this. I had an 18 month contract with Dish that has about 3 or 4 months left on it. What does it cost to get out of a contract early, not that I'm going anywhere but would just like to know?? Mitch
