I too want MAV TV back and, of course, in HD.
Is there such a beastie as an "auto racing channel"? While several sports-oriented channels have auto racing coverage, I don't think there are any dedicated channels.
It is decidedly unkind to label people like that.blugrass, is that you?
His post kinda sounds like to me that he doesn't have NASA at all. I read in DISH's Package Design info that NASA channel availability based on one or more of the following: geographical location, time zone, programming package, DISH antenna. He may not be getting NASA channel 286.

Another 'vote' for MAV HD . Dish should at least negotiate with them... Not a massively popular channel but people that want it will pay $4 a month for the outdoor (used to be 'Sports') package.
NASA in HD would be cool as well
NASA in HD would be cool as well
Another vote for Smithsonian Channel. I would be happy to at least get it in SD, but HD would be nice too.
Sorry for he confusion, I have NASA in SD...which is ok but could be better. I'm told some providers have it in HD, and others are talking 4K.
New York DMA folks have been without a regional sports network for several years now.... Can we PLEASE have SNY back (you dropped it 2-3 years ago). It didn't hurt much when the Mets were awful, but it is excruciating now with them playing compelling baseball..... It's too late for this season, but please add it for next April.... The problem is made worse by the fact that you blackout all of the ESPN games whenever they are on, and exclude their games from the extra innings package. Ditto for MLB.Tv. After 15 years with E*, I am almost to the point that I am going to pitch my $200 a month subscription to head for Verizon Fios.
That you've announced that you would be willing to pay doesn't equate to "people that want it will pay $4".
I hope it returns sooner than later in HD.
The UHD feed is something they're still shopping around; it doesn't appear that any carrier has bought in yet. I don't see much evidence to suggest that there will be an FTA feed (as much as the FTA people insist that satellite is the only logical way to distribute content). At some point the UHD channel will be a streaming Internet feed through Harmonic; NASA's partner in the UHD venture. Bandwidth required: 13Mbps sustained MINIMUM. I don't think my 30Mbps Comcast service would qualify as it seems to level off at under 13Mbps after the PowerBoost has worn off (theoretically after 20MB).
Obviously I was kidding so I sure am glad that I really don't care what you think.
Is it me or has it gotten a little more contentious around here? Watch out for eggshells, folks.
I'm not sure what you're reading, but by all accounts I've read the UHD channel is testing on satellite right now.
