Am I reading that chart correctly? Starz-HD and Cinemax-HD are now both on 119 (E7)?

If so, when did that move happen? If that's true, that's terrific!

You are not reading it correctly.

There are no HD channels at 119°. The HDTV logo in the channel name is there to tell people the channel is also available in HD. The HD channel is mapped to the same channel number. The logo on the left column is the one that tells you if the channel is in HD or not.

Be sure and use the real channel number, not the mapped one when referring to the dishchannelchart.

Hey Tony!

Part of your signature reads.. "Truth is irrelevant when you have a good ad campaign."

Where did you get that? D* maybe?

That was my bad...thought the mapped-down was the one. I see what's what now.

Starz-HD is 129 TP30 and (sadly) Cinemax-HD (along with UHD) is still on TP27 on 129.

It was a comment I made when discussing HD channels in another thread. I kind of liked the ring to it.

See ya

It's a principle that's been used by all governments for the last 10,000 years or so... and maybe for quite a bit longer than that. Did you know that chimpanzees in the wild, have political contests, and that the candidates kiss babies in order to gain the favor of the female vote ?

Probably nothing has changed for the past several million years...

Sad but true but some of us still resist. For instance, I have a tee shirt with a: but I still buy Liberty Mutual insurance. I love the Capital One ads but I use Amex. The Bud Lite & Miller Lite commercials crack me up but I still prefer Heiniken or Becks.
