    Encore channels

    I didn't realize that until you said something. Starz! seems like the more established brand over Encore, so I wouldn't be surprised if they changed Starz! Encore Black and Starz! Encore Family eventually. I wouldn't mind seeing a documentary, horror, or even a sports-movie theme for one of them.

    Encore channels

    I think Starz! Encore Westerns HD and Starz! Encore Suspense HD would be nice additions, but I believe only 4 Starz! Encore channels are actually broadcasting in HD right now (though I'm not sure the resolution and how much is just SD upgraded): Starz! Encore Action HD (looks good on DirecTV)...

    Universal Sports Network--any successors?

    Perhaps the best successor to Universal Sports Network will be the upcoming Olympics Channel? I don't know much about it, but I'd imagine it will have a lot of the same type of programming.

    Any plans for Dish launching HD feeds of Pop TV and El Rey Network in the near future.

    Add my name to the list of people requesting Pop TV HD and El Rey HD, but I'm on DirecTV now.

    BBC WORLD News

    That's why I find the International News Pack SO great. I appreciate the variety, but I think they could pick one or the other out of Times Now and NDTV24x7 and replace the deletion with Deutsche Welle. I can find DW for FREE on multiple Roku sources, but Dish wants me to pay $30 a month just...

    Channels in Blockbuster @HOME

    I'm pretty sure that Epix Drive-In will not be included in the Blockbuster@Home Pack, but is the Epix On Demand app that I can access on my Roku still available with that pack or do I have to actually subscribe to Epix as well as the Blockbuster pack. It just seems a little redundant and...

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    I think I know the answer to this, but did Dish finally strike a deal for CNN International when they made up with Turner?

    CNN and HLN gone/ Dish-Turner Dispute - Now Back 11/21

    We need to quit pointing fingers about all of our American news channels having some bias. Any reasonably informed person knows ALL of them have some slant, but I will admit Fox News is probably the most brazen in either inventing "facts" or conveniently forgetting them to somehow validate...

    Official DISH Channel Request Thread

    I'd like to toss in a request for Revolt TV. It looks like what I enjoy most about Trace Urban, and it's available in HD if such a deal could be made.

    That is incorrect Bobby. They are Canadian services, but they are and have been available to American providers for the past year. Charter is the ONLY one I am aware of that carries BOTH Fight Network and FNTSY Sports Network. I even get FNTSY on my Roku.

    Official DISH Channel Request Thread

    I would like to request the Fight Network and FNTSY Sports Network. I have the FNTSY Sports Network on my Roku, and I think it is an awesome channel....especially if you are a sports stats nerd. Fight Network for the MMA and other combat sports.

    DISH(R) and A+E NETWORKS(R) Agree to Multi-Year Renewal

    Seriously guys, are you guys who are doubting me even reading the darn thing? LOL "The renewal applies to the entire suite of A+E Networks' channels, among the top brands in the media landscape, including: A&E®, Lifetime®, HISTORY®, LMN®, FYI™, H2®, HISTORY en Español™, Crime + Investigation™...

    DISH(R) and A+E NETWORKS(R) Agree to Multi-Year Renewal

    The press release explicitly states that "Military HISTORY" will be made available, but it does not give a time-frame or any clue about being available in HD (VERY few providers even carry it right now).

    I feel the same way about FOX Sports 2, but (unfortunately) I wouldn't hold my breath on BYU TV HD anytime soon. It really seems like religious channels and those networks in the 9400 range are of minimal interest on Dish's part to get HD. DOD News TV HD (formerly Pentagon) would be another...

    DISH(R) and A+E NETWORKS(R) Agree to Multi-Year Renewal

    It sounds like Military History Channel will FINALLY be coming to Dish Network, according to how I read the press release. I can't wait because I enjoy a lot of that programming, and it is supposedly launching an HD feed soon (something that would just be icing on the cake). I did have a...

    Dish allowed to provide out-of-market locals according to reuters to where not accessable

    I am guessing that my situation would fall under the terms of "where not available," but does this legislation provide the possibility of Dish Network viewers finally getting significantly viewed stations within the market? I don't know anything about that other than seeing something several...

    Official DISH Channel Request Thread

    I would love to see some more combat sports / MMA channels. There are so many available that surely at least one would be able to work out a mutually beneficial contract. I don't need all of them, but 2 or 3 of these would be nice. Fighting Athletes Network (not sure if only streaming or not)...

    FEARnet on Dish

    I can't for the life of me find the article, but a press release confirmed a few things unless they change their mind. Comcast purchased all remaining stake in FearNet from Sony and Lions Gate in order to close FearNet and move all programming to Chiller and Syfy. Sucks because I agree that...

    FEARnet on Dish

    I'll throw in the proverbial "Does this mean we'll get FearNet on Dish?" Don't worry Scott. I will slap myself across the face for that one. LOL If we are going to get the majority of what was on FearNet when all the content moves, I think it's a wise decision to merge brands. Chiller has...

    Showtime Anytime for Dish Customers

    I would rather get some of the additional Showtime channels (even in SD) than be given access to Showtime Anytime. Sho Next, Sho Family Zone, and Sho Exteme HD

    Speak Spanish? Get the playboy channel for free.

    If you want to hear something that is REALLY backwards, I only got Baby First TV en Espanol with America's Everything Pack, but I now have Baby TV (in English) after subscribing to Latino Bonus for FOX / ESPN Deportes. Why is the Spanish channel available in my English language pack, but the...

    some ideas for a dish music channel

    I wouldn't mind seeing Soundtrack Channel, but your requests are probably highly unlikely. If something like that were to come, I have a feeling we would have at least a few of the more popular networks not available like CMT Pure Country, VH1 Soul, mtvU, MTV Hits, MTV Jams, BET Gospel, and BET...

    some ideas for a dish music channel

    I need to cut back on my wrestling viewing. I have been a fan for so long that the first impression I got when bluegras said Rockabilly was that ridiculous gimmick Billy Gunn had for a while. LOL

    I enjoy Trace Urban more than any of the other music channels, but I would like to toss in Trace Sports Stars to the mix. It looks like a really entertaining channel. Oh, and I am back to Dish Network from Comcast after that nightmarish experience. LOL
