Funny you mention JIP. I have the MLB Extra Innings package and the number of channels defined/available for MLBEI was 15... has been all season. In the last few days, I think Sunday night/Monday am, this has changed and there are now 25 channels, all with HD available and no JIP in the menu...
I am "foolishly" hoping when ESPNU on 148 goes away next Wednesday, Nov-4, that they flip the HD switch on 141 at the same time. Yes, probably very foolish, hopefully, stupic, etc... thinking...
For the Stars, it appears to be home HD broadcasts although I missed Monday nights game vs LAKings. But, the 14th and 16th were Home HD and blacked out while the 17th at CHI was in SD only (on an alternate ch 448 due to FSN HD CFB) and last night's road game vs Anaheim was in HD. TOR on Oct-28...
Speaking of Turbo HD, Scott, any "reportable" updates regarding the "missing" Viacom and Fox in the Turbo HD packages? It has been 2+ weeks... just thought I would ask...
Well, to HDRoberts comment, they did not activate 61.5 for the 8 new HDPPV so maybe some combo of 61.5/110 for new national HD.
Hey, desperate times call for desperate thinking (hoping)! :eek:
I may have missed this, but wanted to put this out. I am in the DFW area and have 211 boxes with the HD Absolute package (or whatever it is called). I was checking all channells last night and noticed 5 channels in the 6401 - 6406 range, excluding 6405. The EPG had them listed as ESPN, TNT...
More money for Charlie! Let's see, we are at up to 114, going to up to 150. With 8 new HDPPV, that means there are 28 up to HDs left. Great! Thanks Dish.
Scott, thanks for the rumor/tip but any idea if this will be a reality today or might we have to wait 'til Monday for Tech Chat (I think it is on Monday)?
Hey Scott, have you heard ANY rumors re: new Dish HD... anything? I seem to recall rumors that there would be some new HD late in August or early in September... even a small bone?! :confused:
