Rumor NO MORE!, SpeedHD, FX HD & More THIS WEEK! (NOW LIVE)

[theedge103]

Sigh... now FX HD not being on Absolute does kind of bother me...will it make me abandon Absolute and move to a Turbo HD package? Probably not... I can still watch most FX shows on Hulu... but cool to have more HD programming on a grandfathered package!

Thank you Dish for Speed HD. I am so happy now. Thank you very much.

Added Platinum and had them rehit the receiver.
SPEED HD looks great!!!

I just now registered to comment on this --

I turned on SPEED for NASCAR practice a while ago and did a double take - rubbed my eyes and made sure I was awake and not dreaming...

SPEED IN HD!!!!! OH - HAPPY DAY!!!!

 

[Cowchip]

ditto!

So, are MAVHD, Fashion TV, and Logo HD all exclusive to Platinum? Just wondering as I have seen the question asked, but not answered.

 

[SarKen]

How long does a re-authorized take? I called a little over an hour ago and still no Speed HD or FX HD.

TO ALL THOSE WHO DOUBTED ME.

I HAVE ONE THING TO SAY TO YOU...

NA NA NA NAAAA NA!

SatelliteGuys Rules!

I admit I was doubter Wednesday, I'm had my faith reaffirmed today Thanks to Scott, Digi, JohnH and all the others at SatelliteGuys that work so hard. This is why I paid for two years on this site. I recommmend all others do the same.

Now, how about Outdoor Channel HD and RFDTV HD

I have HD Absolute, and am receiving FTV, LOGO, MAVTV

Now you have 2 channels called MAVTV! You can watch a Mavericks game on Sunday night on one tuner and watch MAN-TV on the other tuner!

 

[bebop]

So once again, Dish Network is giving new HD channels to packages that had no price increase AND not giving the channels to the TurboHD packages that had a $10 price increase -- even when Charlie specifically said that price increase would be worth it because of all the new HD coming.

It's worth it to CHARILE, not to the turbo subs. (Thank stinks by the way)

BTW, Turbo HD would not be a good solution for you at this point!

That's the package I have and it was just there for me... do you see it in your guide? If not try a power-cycle on your receiver and see if it will download the guide. Then if you see it in red in the guide - call and get an authorization re-hit.

BTW - I have a 211 with hard drive DVR and a superdish 1000.

Call Dish Network Tech Support and ask for an authorization rehit. Talk nice, some CSRs don't know that new channels came on today. You might be able to follow automated prompts about "channel I should have" I had to talk to CSR about 10 minutes and the rehit did the trick. A check switch and receiver reboot didn't.

Do you need HD Platium to get Logo and SpeedHD?

 

[dmendenjr]

Trimmed from an e* message in another thread:

FX HD and SPEED HD are located in DISH Network's Classic Silver 200 HD programming package and above.

FTV HD, Logo and MavTV HD are available in PlatinumHD

 

[Phil Taylor]

I've got the GOLD HD package and get SPEED but don't know about Logo...

 

[jbernardi]

Thanks to this website and this thread, specifically. I have AEP, premiums, Gold & Platinum HD. CSR and (alleged) supervisor told me FX HD and Speed HD were not active. I asked for a hit on my receiver and was told they are not authorized to do that, but transferred me to the technical department.

The pleasant woman there laughed and said I was the second one who reached her today with that problem. FX HD and Speed HD turned on in a minute (while she stayed on the line to verify that they were on).
