Encore HD

[Trek2000]

I was supprised to get Encore HD when I only get Encore West on the regular channels.

 

[Skyhi]

me too.....good job dish!

I would assume Encore-HD is only available to subs with the Encore premium package but some are claiming to have it available on DishHD Absolute without the Encore package. Can anyone confirm this?

 

[jansan]

Yes, I have DishHD but do not subscribe to Encore package. I have this channel as well

 

[dlsnyder]

I have AT250 and HD Essentials. Encore HD is available to me, but not Encore east SD with the same mapdown channel number.

 

[Rey]

i think as long as you have at250 anything in there that goes hd you will get. you have a few encore channels just for having the 250

I subscribe to DishHD Absolute and got the 4 new channels last night and I have the Cinamax penny deal so I also have the new Actionmax channel. I dont subscibe to any other premium packages but none of the new HBO or Starz HD channels are shoing up in the red. I also am not showing Encore-HD. Is this stuff still a work in progress?

I do not get the SD version of encore but as of today i get the HD version!!
as much as folks like to put down dish for being cheap and stingy with channels...this is very cool!!!

of course with AT250 i was getting SD encore west which is the normal encore on west coast time delay...same content at a different time. but the HD version is a welcome addition!

True. But not that particular one. That is why so many were plesantly surprised.

Encore HD will not show up with HD Absolute unless you have subscribed to the Starz package.

but they should still show up in red on the "all channels" listing...

 

[dmendenjr]

is Encore East HD still there on the AT250 w HD Gold pack? They removed all reference to it on the e* turbo website.

 

[capman]

Isn't it that you would get encore hd if you subscribe to the starz pack?

 

[ehren]

I have the HD platninum and AT 250 and I am getting Encore HD.

 

[dmendenjr]

The starz pack is how I get Encore HD with Absolute, but when I was going to quote the E* website in another thread about what pacakges encore e hd was IN, the logo for it is no longer on the either of their turbo gold package descriptions (here) and (here). Wonder if it was added to the gold pack at the last minute? Also, neither show CBS College sports. This morning the graphics where showing CBS College in the Bronze stand alone but not the bronze add on to AT100... guess the bugs are still getting worked out.

(edit: likewise Planet Green and Lifetime Movie Net.... meanwhile the ONE SD channel we got added to the absolute pack, Lifetime, is the only one mentioned in the channel line-ups, weird)

The uplink report shows them as Hidden unless subscribed.

I have the HD platninum and AT 250 and I am getting Encore HD.

I have AT250 and GoldHD and I am getting Encore HD (Channel 340) but we do NOT get Encore SD (Channel 340) as it is in the Starz Pack which we don't get.

You guys need to be quiet and let us non-Starz subscribers enjoy our Encore HD before Dish cuts us off! :

 

[vicw]

Be very, very quiet...........

 

[EscapeVelocity]

Encore HD is in the Gold Turbo HD pack.

Ooops....a lot has changed since yesterday.

CBS College has vanished from all 3 packages.
Big Ten has been added to Silver(and above).
Encore HD has vanished from Gold.

Planet Green is nowhere to be found on any of them.

 

[dlsnyder]

Maybe they are updating the info on the website, but for now all those channels are still up and available to me as an AT250/Essentials subscriber.
