Interesting on the 3xx mapdowns of some of the HD-only channels. It looks like all of them but the Voom channels. That's a nice change I'd like to have them all there so I don't have to go all the way up to 94xx to see them.
Saw that too.... I suspect that we'll see the HD channels eventually leave the 94xx range someday based on this.
 
Wow! Well I would say Dish just hit a HomeRun Today!! Well one thing that stood out to me is I wonder why these are still in MPEG2?? Either way Big Day For Dish!! :)

I am a very happy camper today for sure. :) And I am really, really, really not complaining, but was curious as to what happened to MOJO?. I was looking forward to that one since I left Bright House last year.

A great day for Dish!

Because there are still a number of customers with MPEG-2 receivers on a grandfathered HD package that includes these.
 
A quick gander at the D* forum has them asking what D* is going to do to counter this. They are mad that others are getting what they already have?
