they goofed. Its channel 404

Channel 402 is a mirror of 299, which is the SC preview channel
 
Well, Drive-In was the only channel I missed from EV. I think that *C truly has a better standard definition lineup. Too bad the 530 sucks! So bad I went back to EV.

Fight Network is one of my favourite channels :D

I enjoy TFN myself, we are looking into acquiring another area and if all goes well, TFN, Fox News, Sportsman and maybe one or two more will come on line quickly.
 
I enjoyed Drive-In Classics on EV but I won't be subscribing on SC because of its bundle. There just isn't anything else in it that interests me. :(
 

Can you mount Starchoice HD dish on DirecTV mount?
