Not that I care (even my wife doesn't watch), but Time Warner is claiming they will add Oxygen HD on 9/23/09. Odd...there's just no mention or rumor of this channel anywhere else that I can find. Just thought I'd mention it since DISH seems to add everything from NBC pretty quick. Of course...

Can't get a signal in my home office today with my trusty SkyFi home kit. It's always a little touchy there, but usually I can tweak the antenna and get it back. It's just dead today. If I tweak it, I can get it back for a second and then it goes away. If I go to the boombox on the other side...

Getting ready to move and checking out FIOS options. I noticed that they recently picked up the Viacom HD channels...MTV, VH1, CMT, Nick, & Comedy Central. No Logo or BETJ of course, but also no BET. Has it ever been determined if BET-HD is for real? Every time I've ever looked in, it was...

Firefox forced an update to 3.0.13, and now I crash about half of the time I come to this site. Doesn't happen with any other site. Just thought you should know...I just need to get off my butt and download 3.5...hopefully that will take care of it.

So, I finally had a sales tax show up on my bill...we've never had one in AZ before recently. It was only 43 cents, so I didn't really think about it. Then I started thinking...WHY is it so small? I have a $100+ bill. That's like .3%. (It's actually a really odd#...like .3376328678132746 or...

Surprised no one has mentioned it (or at least I couldn't find any mention)...Fuel (SD) was uplinked last week in that big flurry of activity, but it was never turned on. In fact, we knew Fuel was uplinked before we were even sure about Speed HD and FX HD. I would have figured it was all a...

I was thinking about why only some channels are being made available to Turbo packages and not others. I really don't think it's the usual Cheap Charlie problem...I believe it's the channels themselves. Here's why. If you read these boards, you will see a lot of talk about how "As soon as I...

Let's sum up... this week DISH managed to... ...drop a channel from their most overpriced package. ...Roll out Turbo HD packages to existing subscribers, giving HD Absolute subscribers the opportunity to pay much more for the same thing they already get, and giving the rest of us the...

He knows something! :D

I got an invitation to join the Sling Guide beta, but whenever I try to sign up, it says my 622 is not online. All the diagnostics are fine, and it says it's connected. Triple checked the receiver ID, reset the connection a few times...no luck. Has anyone else managed to get past step one...

Thought this might be interesting/helpful to people...list of national HD TMP channels in the uplink tables as of this morning. I copied this for a OneNote table, so it didn't quite format right...basically, the first column is the TMP # (or letter), the second is the channel # (doesn't mean...

They haven't been uplinked to EA yet, so there might be more to come. And of, course, they could all go away. But what do you all think is INTENDED to go in those TMP channels? Easy money is on Comcast channels, since they premiere the the night of the Charlie Chat and we already know Charlie...

I don't want to get the Voomers going again, but it's late October, so I'm starting to miss Monsters. The only consolation is that by this time last year, it was already starting to get lame- gotta tell myself I'm not missing anything good.

Seriously, I can't for the life of me figure out what that logo above TLC is...

There are a ton of channels showing "Off Air" in the EPG later tonight. Normally, this wouldn't be that odd. It's pretty common for, say, ALL HBO channels to go down for a couple hours every once in a while. But these are all different channel ownerships, and spotty. For example, Showtime HD is...

Anybody notice that Planet Green appears to be a DOWNconverted HD channel? All the programs and promos are 16:9, as are some commercials. Also, normally, if an SD channel is going to show letterboxed programming, the logo bug is still down in the corner, at least partially in the black bar...

The new HD channels are improving, it seems. All of them, actually. I'm flipping around at 11pm pacific time, and I saw... -HD cartoons on both Disney and Toon Disney (or Jetix, or whatever they call it...) -An HD movie on Bravo...IN OAR 2.35:1! (I'm sure it was censored and packed with...

Sent this email to HDNet today... I have enjoyed your channels for several years, particularly HDNet Movies. However, as you know, DISH Network recently moved HDNet Movies to a tier that sells for a $10 monthly premium over standard HD service. This tier (“HD Ultimate”) included HDNet Movies...

To HD Ultimate subscribers... How do you feel about the HD Ultimate pricing stucture now? It has gone from $10 for 19 channels to $10 for 7 channels. Regardless of how much you valued or didn't value Voom, what's your reaction to this? As a reasonable, logical person, I understand how...

I used to be semi-regular around here. I enjoyed having intelligent arguments and discussions with people. (Who could forget the battle royale over Pixel Aspect Ratios!) And there was always good gossip and information. Now, it seems like most of info is kept secret, like the Pub Forum is...

After I was done marvelling that Cartoon Network HD was merely stretched and not in "stretch-o-vision", I flipped over to TBS and -GASP- they had Family Guy in regular stretch mode as well. I'm pretty sure I saw it in stretch-o-vision a week or two ago. Flipped to TNT but they actually had a...

Well, they're back now...but did anyone else have problems today? Lost all Phoenix locals, HD and SD sometime in the last 24 hours. I checked the signal meter- they all looked super low, but I haven't checked them since they updated the software...anyway they were all green. Tried tuning into a...

For about 45 minutes this morning, Setana Sports was "covered" (you could see the edges and hear the audio) with a graphic concerning satellite taxes. The strangest part is, for about 30 minutes, it was being edited. It took them that long to add a couple sentences and correct the spelling...

OK, I don't hang on this board like I used to, but I haven't seen much (any?) discussion about this announcement Scott posted about DISH starting a parallel MPEG-4 service. Even in the thread he posted it in, it wasn't really commented on much, at least in the first couple days- everyone was...

Is anyone else seeing one of the shopping channels (I think HSN) mapped to channel 084-00?
