You need Platinum.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

You just need platinum... (and as Dish pointed at 72.7 or 129)

 

[Scherrman]

It doesn't matter what base package you have as long as you are paying $10 for the Platinum HD channels you will get both Epix channels.

Old setup

He has a 110/119/61.5 set up. He needs to be moved over to EA as he can't get 129, since it's too low for him.

Did anyone other than me notice that Epix1 and 2, as well as Retro and Indie are now available as SD feeds? I found them on my 510 today when browsing channels.

I have platinum and usually only saw them on the HD feeds for my 622.

 

[Supertv]

yes is a Free preview only the SD

 

[smitty23]

i kinda figured that.. the SD version looks terrible... i will stick to the HD version.

Like there is really an option there?

Yeah, who in their right mind would watch an SD channel over HD?

 

[Yes616]

Why are they even bothering with a SD feed of these channels on EA? All of the receivers that work here are MPEG-4 HD anyway.

The SD feeds are MPEG4 on EA.

The SD feeds are MPEG4 on EA.

I see that. My point is that these channels HD feeds look fine on the last SD set in my house thats connected to TV2 of my 722. Thats why I say why bother.

There are EA people that do not sub to HD even though they have HD capable equipment. They would not see a downconverted picture, so Dish sends it SD.

OK.. That makes some sense.

BTW.. Nice avitar. I was wondering how the world fell apart.

Me.

 

[Bobby]

Me.

Do you mean that you'd rather watch EPIX in SD instead of HD? Now, if you don't have HD I can get behind that.....

Thank you.

curious how much the INDIE,Retro will cost once the FREE preview is done, KNEW it was too good to be true that I was getting this for free. Love those 2 channels, willing to pay for those...and yes I have an HD tv, but nO I am not paying dish so I can get HD programming......I pay them enough of $$$$$$$$$$$$
I have looked on their site and can find no fee for these 2 channels. any help would be appreciated..
Just a note: It would be nice to see a company like DISH have some kind of special pricing for their LOYAL customers(9 years) instead of the newbies!:rant::rant:

Those two channels are part the the $10.00 HD Platinum package, along with several others, including Epix (which is what this thread is about), MGM, HDN Theather, and others. As far as not paying for HD when you have an HDTV...that's your call and trade off.
