I guess they're still negotiating.. since they haven't been nixed yet..

 

[JohnH]

All of em show as paid programming for me. (Dish)

Because that's what they are - infomercial channels.

I saw some other listings further into the day on some of those channels. Sort of like shopping with a particular mission.

The channel is "up there", call or write your local station urging them to allow the retransmission.

All I see in the EPG is Paid Programming for now. As for the content, I don't know, but I'm sure someone with a DishNetwork receiver will chime in.

Maybe they called Charlie and told him that "the check is in the mail"....

I understand that, but they are all called channel "Dish" with no clear programming. All I kind find over the next weeks is a coin show, knife show and jewelry repeat.

I would not say they were "back" by a long shot. I hope they never come back honestly. Use the space for something better.

Why would they rename them Dish? Did they change the names from the normal designation last week? Maybe I missed it as I thought they still had their normal channel titles still up. I wouldnt think changing the names to "Dish" would be a positive for the missing channels.

The names were changed in the past 24 hours.

You really should read the uplink report that goes with this discussion.

I did already. My statement was off on last weeks name changes, that came out wrong.

My reply to cosmo was why does he think the "checks in the mail" if they have lost their channel names to Dish. I would think this is a negative sign. Just wondering if Im missing something as Ive only been keeping up with uplink reports for about a month or so now and am still learning how it all works.

I'd like to have the OKC PBS digital channel, too.

 

[gadgtfreek]

Dont want to get off topic, but is ESPN 1440x1080i right now? Seems like I read this a few weeks ago and cant remember. Any way you guys can tell?
