Funny you mention JIP. I have the MLB Extra Innings package and the number of channels defined/available for MLBEI was 15... has been all season. In the last few days, I think Sunday night/Monday am, this has changed and there are now 25 channels, all with HD available and no JIP in the menu...
I am "foolishly" hoping when ESPNU on 148 goes away next Wednesday, Nov-4, that they flip the HD switch on 141 at the same time. Yes, probably very foolish, hopefully, stupic, etc... thinking...
For the Stars, it appears to be home HD broadcasts although I missed Monday nights game vs LAKings. But, the 14th and 16th were Home HD and blacked out while the 17th at CHI was in SD only (on an alternate ch 448 due to FSN HD CFB) and last night's road game vs Anaheim was in HD. TOR on Oct-28...
I may have missed this, but wanted to put this out. I am in the DFW area and have 211 boxes with the HD Absolute package (or whatever it is called). I was checking all channells last night and noticed 5 channels in the 6401 - 6406 range, excluding 6405. The EPG had them listed as ESPN, TNT...
Scott, thanks for the rumor/tip but any idea if this will be a reality today or might we have to wait 'til Monday for Tech Chat (I think it is on Monday)?
Hey Scott, have you heard ANY rumors re: new Dish HD... anything? I seem to recall rumors that there would be some new HD late in August or early in September... even a small bone?! :confused:
Stating the obvious - it would be really nice to get this Wednesday so we can confirm/deny exactly what we will or will not be getting. I can't believe Dish has not publihed "official" details (as far as I know) for us - you know, the existing, already paying customers! Come on Dish, throw us...
You did a better research than I, M Sparks! It will be interesting to see how many of these channels will be used for the Aug-1 rollout as they get reuplinked (so to speak). I guess at the least, there will be 6 available. Does anyone know how many will be gained by the mpeg2 to mpeg4 transition...
There are 20 current uplinked (I think) temporary available HD channels, according to The Link. We know what 17 are scheduled for and when. Any "rumors" on the other 3?
Forget if it was DirecTV or Dish, but one of them tried to put both HDNet and NDHet Movies in the highest premium HD package. Cuban sued/complained; they setlled/agreed HDNet would not be in the highest package but MDNet Movies could be in the highest.
Actually, I think the real issue is Dish has not made it clear (at least to me) what happens if you don't do anything to your existing package. Remember, all this info came from the retailers meeting which typically involves new customers, not necessarily existing customers. For example, in...
