110/119 Listings Post 129 Transition (Updated 9/1/2025)

Dish has uplinked the yearly Christmas channels:

78 - Santa's Workshop (119, TP 20)
80 - Past Holiday Dish Scapes (110, TP 21)
88 - Classic Yule Log (110, TP 21)
89 - Modern Yule Log (110, TP 02)

What is interesting about 89 is that it is the only nationally available channel coming off of 110, TP 02...

Channel 209, MSNBC, was renamed to MSNOW, in preparation for the brand change tomorrow. (11/15/2025)

With Cowgirl Channel shutting down, that means 110, TP 19 has an extra slot that could be used for an HD channel

BINGE TV ch 218 is going HD streaming-only this Wednesday 11/19

The December 1st uplink had the addition of 79, the Christmas search on 119, TP 21.

Today's uplink had QVC2 move from channel 255 to 74. It did not change transponders.

Also, Smokey's Holiday Soul Town (SXM49), Country Christmas (SXM58), and Christmas Spirit (SXM63) were mapped down. No change in transponders.

Finally, the Cowboy Girls slate from 233 was removed.

Hopper only maybe? Channels are not on my 612 receiver.

Binge is still OTA here.

Yeah, I don't get them on my VIP211k. I believe they are just Hopper and Wally you can get the streaming channels.

My mistake not reading correctly. He clearly said streaming in HD. Of course VIP receivers do not have streaming channels. I never consider streaming channels since, I don't have them on the receiver....

And maybe that is a good reason that Dish is moving away from VIP receivers as they have more and more streaming channels. Perhaps, someday, they will all be streamers.
