I dont watch Lifetime, Lifetime Movie, Oprah Network, etc.

but until Ala-Carte is a realization there are channels that will be in packages that you, me, or anybody else dont want. Simple solution......set up a favorites or lock out channels

I really can't believe that you ICEBERG, don't like The Battered B---h channel or Okra Windbag. Because your picture makes you look so sensitive.

Well this is very interesting...DISH now carries EVERY OTA HD channel in my (real) DMA, including ALL 3 PBS's. (our local MNT WCIX-49 is NOT broadcast in HD, & probably never will, since it shares the same bandwidth with WCIA-CBS HD, on BOTH channels) As small as DMA as we are, not only am I surprised DISH did this in our DMA, but that it happened THIS quickly!

And DirecTV is still missing PBS WEIU-51 in HD currently.

BUT, DISH still has NO PBS's in HD in Chicago...even though they have 3 PBS's total, & carry ALL the other major nets + IND WCIU-26 in HD - go figure!

So BOWL TV is now available, with a place card, in HD and SD. The program guide shows the KNBC lineup. Maybe they will be showing the Superbowl there for those without a local or local in HD??

I am thinking the same thing, although I am not sure how they are allowed to do this legally, unless they got a special exemption from NBC directly.

That would be the only way I can figure. It is one of the NBC owned channels.
