    No idea, I never got the concept of the ReelzChannel. I tried watching it a few time but it was as exciting as watching paint dry.

    They should put it next to the "TV GUIDE" channel

    I honestly figured they would have settled on more discussions and popped the signals back up. Disney is losing so much advertising considering many companies produced certain commercials for HD and some others for SD. Many people like myself won't even let their kids watch SD as it's hard on their eyes so they lose out on the advertising for another reason. I know this is pretty much going with the Disney/Dish threads but ya gotta wonder Dish's motives with adding a temp HD channel and if they will advertise it to get sales.

    I did not read the reelz-HD press release as a temporary channel, but as a free preview for Dish subs until May 4th. Then I could see it moving to platinum or other tier.

    It doesn't matter where it is assigned to it. It will be in the EPG data on all the satellites. Enjoy the OTA guide data no matter if you are on EA or WA.

    It seems like this mini-series could not be sold to a major network or a premium channel, not even Starz, or it would have ended up there, since this means that only 15 million subscribers will have access.

    This does not make too much sense to me, from anyone's viewpoint.
    I thought the reason it is on reelz was because it was made for a&e or some other channel but it has some parts that don't hold true to history so they would not air it. If I am wrong please correct me but I think I heard that somewhere.

    be happy you dont live in Minneapolis. Because Reelz is owned by the same people who own the ABC station here (Hubbard Broadcasting...owned USSB years ago) on the news and some other shows thats all they talk about. And there are commercials constantly about it
    Winegard 76cm dish, SG2100 motor, Sadoun dual KU LNB..... Directv Slimline SWM 3 LNB.... GeoSatPro 36" dish with Sadoun dual KU LNB... Coolsat 5000 on motorized.... Manhattan RS1933....Directv HR34 (yes the 5 tuner monster) GeoSatPro 200 to aim dishes.... few receivers not set up yet
    Two 6 foot Fortec dish with GeoSatPro dual C-Band LNB "ghetto moved" to various C-Band satellites

    Reelz was movie related, now they show programs like Cheers. To their credit, they are airing Cheers in HD, (unlike Hallmark) much like HDNet is doing. Only problem for me, is the insane number of commercials. So, while I may (only may) watch The Kennedys, I have no patience for any channels that air commercials (except ESPN). I now stick to PBS, HBO/SHO/STARZ, some HDNET, and Netflix. I can't wait till commercially sponsored broadcasts die their deserved death. (oh, and I fracking can't stand pop-ups, announcements, and other garbage they overlay on the program (although I'm ok with a small dimmed station logo, but I'd prefer to not even have that).
