OK. Now I get it. But I hope one day Dish does something about it because it is very annoying. There in fact are no duplicates on DIRECTV. Dish could replace the duplicates with ON DEMAND channels if you know what I mean like in the 6000s or 9000s.
Why don't DISH remove one of the SUNDANCE Channel duplicate feeds and create more space? In fact why don't they just remove all duplicates period? I mean all the 6000s, 9000s, and MGM, EPIX, EPIX2, INDIEPLEX, RETROPLEX, etc?
Dish in my opinion does not want BBC World News because BBC America airs their main news program. And they may already have enough in news programing.Just like Dish not wanting FUSE or any other music channel because of enough music programing.
What if it were California or Texas? Different story? Anyone in New York State who love sports and their teams should not have Dish at all. I mentioned that in the SNY GONE! forum. How can any sports fan subscribe to any TV service without their local sports channels?
Oh sure! Pour out more money on more video rental services, satellites and radio rather than the channels we subscribers want like MLB Network, Fearnet, Fuse, MSG, YES, Disney HD, etc. I really thought that Joe would be just as dumb as Charlie. We customers want channels! Not companies!
I recomend all you people of Abuquerque to dump Dish Network and sign up for Comcast. I think there HD lineup is one of the best in Comcast markets (even better than Dish and Directv), and they have HD channels that Dish (& Direc) don't have like BLOOMBERG HD, ESPNU HD, HUB HD, PBS KIDS SPROUT...
