The equipment & DVR charges are waived during the 2-year promo; they revert to regular pricing after - THAT'S why it's a "promo". (unless you call in after & get them to put you on another such promo, which may/may not exist) I know this because this was discussed on my dealer board; any new...

Well try it & see...worst that can happen is, that it doesn't work. BUT...the REAL test is, unplug the receiver from BOTH power & the dish, THEN try plugging it back in to power & see after the boot-up phase, if it eventually does switch to the streaming feeds. I have a suspicion it's NOT...

If it's any consolation, neither D* sat or stream have it, only the freebie version. The only providers that appear to currently carry it are YTTV & Xfinity.

There are HD streaming versions of the following shopping channels: QVC 2 255 QVC 3 253 HSN 2 286

Is this just on sat, or is it already (in HD) on stream? Also a little OT curiosity...is Cowboy Ch doing "pay-to-play" now for some reason, as all of a sudden it's been popping up on other providers like FiOS, & notably Comcast (though in SD-only o_O ) which has steadfastly refused to carry...

Did you go to ch 115, which is where they normally place them in free access for everyone? They already had 2 channels there since 11/4 & have since added the other 7...

On another dispute, YTTV restored all the Televisa Univision channels: https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/univision-youtube-tv-deal-renewal-televisaunivision-1236592488/

It's very much coming for (at least some) sat subs too: https://www.directv.com/support/article/000115551 DIRECTV satellite customers in good standing with a Signature Package will get an email by November 30, 2025, with a link to add the ESPN Unlimited App to their account—at no extra cost...

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

If you still have those remotes, they WILL work with the new receivers, though only in IR mode. I still use them myself with my Ho's to this day.

A good analysis on why this blackout is exactly what ABC/Disney was planning on all along, as well as how we're now in cable 2.0: https://www.lightreading.com/video-streaming/why-isn-t-the-game-on-disney-s-squeeze-play-on-youtube-tv

I understand those areas are NOT Continental US, that was my point. And obviously the new sat will still serve the Continental US. I guess I would have just said it would be serving "all US territories", if being nitpicky...

And if this satellite (or any others) also serves HI, AK, PR, or USVI, which E* DOES currently serve now, then saying it's "serving the CONUS" is technically not 100% accurate, either... ;)

When THEY say CONUS, they mean the satellite - spotbeam or not - is serving the CONtinental United States
