Odd that they didn't make these changes more public, especially since all their adult channels were available by subscription.. Several disappearing, others moving. They are going to have some annoyed people.

The website hasn't been updated yet (big surprise.) I went under programming changes, and all the old channels were listed. However, two of the ones that were pulled said "$0.00". ALL of the rest of them said $29.99. (according to the website, some of the "softer" channels were $24.99.) My guess is that they are going to offer all but the two Hustler channels as subscription, and switch all of them to the "harder" feeds.

I considered trying to subscribe to the $0.00 channels to see what would happen.

RKTV is Reality Kings who made the the Playboy TV show Money Talks..

Dish might have used the wrong letters. no surprise

That's not the same "TEN" we have in the US. The US company is actually called Colorado Satellite Broadcasting or something like that, and they run Penthouse TV, not Hustler TV.

Mister Coke has the right answer, I think.

EDIT- Yup...

Bob.

Penthouse is going away on Dish. The Pent/XTSY combo will be replaced by the Xsty/Juicy combo with no price change.

Not something I'd tune in for, but if it makes someone happy, cool!

Never knew that channel (Hustler HD) was ever uplinked and being tested. That goes to show that there could be other HD channels being tested that the uplink report doesn't know about, hopefully.

The Detroit HDs still live on 118.7 at channels 5132-5135.

Which is good for me. The receivers never handled having these channels on multiple satellites.

Dish can't add locals to Bluefield-Beckley DMA but they sure can add porno. What a damn disgrace to people in WV.

Thanks, I saw that last night. It actually looks like an upgrade to me. PENT was XX, the new Juicy is XXX. They are only packages of clips around a theme, but many of the PENT movies wound up on XTSY a few months later anyway.

Had a little worry as a few timers for PENT programs wound up trying to record the Hustler programs (@$13.99 each, gulp), but they were for zero minutes so hopefully it doesn't create a billing problem by trying to say I "ordered" them.

I knew SOMETHING was up, as I was scrolling through looking for content on PENT earlier in the week and it said "Off Air" for any content past Tuesday.
