MOD REQUEST: Can we please start a, "I am not getting the new HD and I'm upset" thread for Absolute, Turbo and 61.5 subs?

If history repeats itself these posts are going to take over this forum by the end of the day.

Congrats to Glendive, MT, the smallest DMA, for getting it's local (not plural) uplinked.

Looks like they are getting ready for round 2 of screw the legacy HD customers, ERRRR, new HD rollout.

 

[tempVAdish]

OK, subs with 61.5 now are officially F@*^%D.....let the complaints continue

I 2nd that

 

[dreddick]

How long before Remote Access site gets updated? Want to schedule the soccer match that starts in 17 minutes!!!

Yeah, hasn't changed yet. I had to use the backup remote access...call the wife and talk her through it

Well, although that's what these boards are for, complaining won't make much of a difference (although it will make some of us feel better).

Do what is best for you (e.g. switch, swing a dish, upgrade a dish) and let news get out that the reason behind this is problems with one of Dish's satellites. Coupled with the fact that they really have no idea when a good part of their customer base will be able to see these new channels, that'll be enough.

The package subs chose that and are probably resigned to the fact that they will get little or no new HD. Not 61.5 subs with 250, platinum, etc...

 

[Juan]

piece of BEEEEP charlie couldn't even throw the 61.5 subs one bone..

 

[Mr Tony]

hmmm......Dish added locals from 4 markets with one channel
Presque Isle, ME (well 2 with fox subchannenl)
Mankato, MN (again with fox subchannel)
St Joe, MO
Glendive, MT

could Dish possibly be able to start importing neighboring loclas to fill in these markets??

As long as we don't have 500 threads on this in the DishNetwork forum I'm fine with letting people voice their opinions.

But remember folks...this is a family oriented site so any posts with foul language/pictures, posts all in caps, etc, expect them to be nuked from the uplink thread.

 

[digiblur]

If anyone has any updates on the locals with missing or incorrect affiliation information, please PM them to me and I'll get the database updated on the uplink PC.

 

[jeffdan]

yes, i too can't wait for top gear

Just thinking about watching Top Gear has me at half mast.

 

[vaylon]

I have Absolute and all I got was the indie and retro channels. BBCA HD isn't even showing up as red.

My 'backup' is at work. Argh! I set my timer for normal FSC hoping that maybe it would tune to '149' and get the HD version, but I know I will be disappointed, wont I?

 

[dangue]

I'm counting 12 more temps on 129/72.7. That seems to affirm the "Phase 1" comment from the tech chat. Very interesting times. I wonder what Direct will do in response. There new sat should be online soon, so they better add soon or they'll fall behind. A nice HD war would be good for all subs.

More channels coming? Or are these for Alaska and Hawaii?

I'm totally fine with letting people voice their opinions. I think this thread would help them do that.

What happens is that every thread started about the new HD spirals into, "too bad I can't see this channel on Turbo", "Why am I not getting this channel on Absolute?", "Why is Charlie screwing over Turbo subs?", "Who do I call or email about this?", "here is a trascript of my chat with a CSR about why I'm not getting these channels on 61.5"

And on, and on, and on.

Don't say I didn't warn you

Wouldnt be AK/HI as they are ConUS transponders, and on EA as well as WA.

 

[dodger72]

they added more temp channels does that mean we will get more HD channels?

The only reason why I think they're something different is because the temp numbers are different. It'd make sense for them to be consistent with their temp numbers. Then again, I probably assume too much in thinking that Dish would be logical on something like this.
