Thanks Scott. I noticed it was removed in the Uplink report and sure enough it's not longer available.

Awww c'mon fixing encoders take a lot of time. They didn't have time to type up the release till this morning.

It would be nice if this would lead to E* adding TV One to their DishLatino MAX and 120+ packages. BET has really changed its focus; Several years ago, I used to watch it all the time for sitcoms and movies; I haven't found anything appealing lately. I think TV One would have a much broader appeal.

BET has gone down since viacom bought them. I watch college football and thats it.

Thanks for the info Scott. When things like this happen I always have a few customers call and ask. Sometimes I miss the stuff on the retailer website or email.
