Thanks for the info! Love Holiday Traditions, and miss the annual XMFan Thread.

To bring back those subscribers who have left?

I’m in the Fox Sports MW market, Cardinals. MLB Channel is broadcasting the Cardinals game now, and its blacked out on Dish. I can understand the MLB Channel blocking the game telecast on systems with Fox Sports MW, but Dish doesn’t have Fox Sports MW ! I‘m not a big sports fan, but...

I have just one TV, so called DISH about the Hopper Duo. They said that for now, it’s only available to new customers. I have the Hopper 3, and she recommended I keep it, even when ( and if ) the Duo becomes available to existing customers because the H3 has more features and “ costs the same...

Thanks Dish, for adding your Traditional Holidays channel, to the Flex pack.

The ota dongle that Dish will install with the antenna, is it the same dongle that has been reported to overheat, or is this a new and improved device? Thanks

Flex pack is great for me. I don't watch sports, nor do I watch local networks. My favorite channels are AMC, FX, TCM, Food Network, and Weather Nation. I also have Netflix, which later picks up a few network shows that might be worth watching like American Crime from ABC.

Great news! From "Cowboy Flavor" to "Cowboy Church", to their great country music shows and everything in between--an excellent channel....:):)

I totally agree, and it was one of the reasons why I chose Dishnetwork over Charter. I especially like the Marty Stuart show. I have sent the e-mails asking that the channel not be removed. I suspect many rural Americans watch this channel.

Sci-fi Thursday nights, showing Lost in Space, Time Tunnel, Land of the Giants, and Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea. I'm tempted to trade one of our HD channels, for this SD station (that people have wanted, for years now).

Are the MLB games blacked out, that are repeated, the next day? I notice that these regional channels may show a "repeat" ballgame, from the night before.

Everyone seems to be just stumbling onto this, as there has not been a PR about it--there are about ten new music channels on XM's internet music service. I'm listening to a Hawaii music channel now--pretty neat. They seem to be furnished from AOL.

Looks like they have also yanked "folk town". I like the additions of Coffee House accoustic, and the new age channel, but don't like the idea of taking out two genres of music--big band and folk. I guess they plan on combining them with other channels.

Nothing about new HD channels--except those 12 top markets who will get HD locals later this year. Thats kind of old news. Okay--now its Dish Network's turn to do/say something.

This might result in less Stern fans purchasing a Sirius radio to listen to their guy. For less than the cost of a radio and monthly radio fee, Stern fans can just watch the un-censored show, with the ability to freeze frame, re-wind, fast-foward, etc. I assume the "best parts" of the...
