Setanta Sports is having a FREE PREVIEW from today until the 26th.

Anyone know what channel would that be on? I'm not seeing it on any of my guides...but then again everything I have is many moons old...

Looking to see if I can get to see some All Blacks rugby this year...

I see SETA on 406 but it's red and not available.

Read the thread.

Does anyone know how Dish goes about picking which cities to add extra HD locals in?
I am in the Birmingham DMA which is #40, larger than OKC which is #45.
The CW & MY affilates here are both owned by Sinclair.

Would depend on spotbeam transponder space too.

I hope Dish gets WKOW's signal uncompressed, they have 2 subchannels 27-2 is RTN and 27-3 is True tv or some crap movie channel. 27-1 is just totally trashed now, they used to have the best PQ for Madison locals.

Probably not...most of the time they get it OTA. Even the cable co in my area gets the stations via fiber after it gets encoded with the subchannels.

Clearly the free preview does not start today.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I am just reporting what Dish posted to their Twitter page.

Any indication on the launch of the alexandria, la SD locals? Was announced previously as August 19th (next wednesday.

Thanks

Maybe they forgot to make the channels available ?

Just in time for EPL this weekend, too bad the online version has more games and better PQ then E*.

I think you mean This TV, and while it does have noting but old TV shows and movies, some movies more recent, I hate to say that sometimes they are showing decent content such as The Outer Limits (I know, but kind of fun to watch). Then again, they air Mr. Ed. Yes, a crap channel, but sometimes better crap than USA or TVLand. Worse, it is in horrid compressed to pieces (as one of the ATSC "sub-channels" in various markets) SD.

SETA had been showing as a green channel on my guides for several months, and it is still green on my guides. I don't know why Dish trusts me to immediately order it via the guide and not another poster who reported it as red in his guide. It currently shows on my guide at the channel 406 location only.

 

[marcschibig]

Thanks Iceberg---Do you think they will go live on the 19th?

 

[Ghpr13]

Help a Newbee, please

I've only had Dish for 2 months now and I was wondering if I could get a little help? How do I know what Satellite name or # am I getting my signal from? Also I've been told that I'm on "the Eastern Arc", what does that mean?
Thanks for any help,

Now all we need is P Smith to tell us what Digiblur missed :haha

ROTFLMAO , gotta love that!

Duh ?

FYI, any intelligence agency gathering info from many sources as possible before make decision and don't trust if it came from only one informant.
But some JSP prefer to listen to one mouth. Well, that's out of six sigma suddenly.
