Dish adds Smithsonian Channel as part of CBS Agreement

[ChadT41]

God'll get you for that, Chad. <-- extra point if you know where that expression comes from.

All in the Family?

Golden Girls.

Smithsonian Channel content is available free on ROKU right now including full episodes of some programs (probably their entire line-up ) Just saw 3 documentaries yesterday on this Roku channel.

That's like saying Fox News content is available for free on ROKU. Just a very small selection.

I switched to Uverse and now can watch the real Smithsonian Channel, I don't have to constantly beg Charlie to add it , or FXM HD, or Ovation HD , or Military History Channel, among others.

Dish has a better receiver in Hopper but that is about it. I bought a Slingbox which serves me just as well.

All in the Family?

Close!

Golden Girls.

No, harshess got it right. It was a TV program called Maude staring Beatrice Arthur and Bill Macy playing her character's fourth husband. Maude would often say, "God'll get you for that Walter". Maude was a spinoff of All In The Family.

 

[thomasjk]

Bea Arthur was also in Golden Girls.

Bea Arthur was also in Golden Girls.

Yes, she was! But, she didn't use the phrase that is being discussed in Golden Girls, she used it in Maude.....

Sure taking a long time to sign them there CBS contracts. I hope they don't forget to add the Smithsonian Channel and in HD!

Charlie states expect to see national geographic soon.

I would assume that Showtime Anytime availability should be around the same time, maybe? Looking forward to having more Showtime on demand.

In HD??? (not joking, they might just pull a stunt like that of putting it in SD ONLY, since other providers now offer it in SD as well)

Like KYW in Philly. I end up using the skip keys rather than waiting.

If you hear anything about the Military History Channel, please be sure to trumpet it from on high.

That's from A&E Networks, no?
