    11/11/2009 Uplink Report

    Just relax. Stuff changes package flags all the time. It's been there forever, and if you were supposed to be getting it, you probably would be. Every once in a while, DISH blows it and a bunch of people won't get something that was supposed to be turned on. You'll hear about it...don't worry.

    This is the most backward thing I've read in a while. Bandwidth is the #1 problem, and money has virtually nothing to do with it...at least not directly. In fact, with ANY HD simulcast channel that is already carried in SD, the carriage negotiations are almost all about bandwidth cost/benefit...

    You can expect any of them to come in "bunches" AMC/IFC/WE/Sundance- unlikely because of the lawsuit, but it would be a package deal. Also, probably Fuse, though they are under different management. BBC/ID E!/Style/G4 TCM/TruTV ...and so on.

    Well, one of them was supposed to be QVC months ago. Just more rumor mill grist...there are a couple of HD feeds supposedly launching in November. Of course, Sundance won't happen, but History International is the other.

    No, it's not a bad thing, but remember, there were already 5 or 6 other TMPs properly mirrored that are still sitting there. from last spring.

    Not necessarily. As I read "The List", there are 6 TMPs ready to go right now. 10,12,13,14 & 15 are already uplinked to 129 and 61.5. TMP 64 is uplinked to 119/72.5 . There are 7 more at 119 that need a mirror at 72.5 (or 77 I guess)...TMP 58,59,60,61,62,63,& 65. I don't know much about that...

    Dish website has been partially updated...main programming page still shows the old channels, but you can order the new channels as subscriptions. They are all the same price now. But there is NO mention of HD under the Hustler description. The SD and HD channels appear to have completely...

    That's not the same "TEN" we have in the US. The US company is actually called Colorado Satellite Broadcasting or something like that, and they run Penthouse TV, not Hustler TV. Mister Coke has the right answer, I think. EDIT- Yup...

    Anybody figure out what "RKTV" is? Doesn't seem to be any of the TEN or Playboy owned channels. Odd that they didn't make these changes more public, especially since all their adult channels were available by subscription.. Several disappearing, others moving. They are going to have some...

    All bandwidth is valuable. Technically speaking, there is no current shortage. But every spot you commit now is one you can't use later. By the way, I figured out why I didn't understand what Scott was saying. As a videographer, that shot looks perfectly normal, because the subjects are...

    GAAAAAAH! What is the point? I'm annoyed that they are using valuable bandwidth for QVC-HD, but to each his own. People must be watching or they wouldn't be in business. And if I DID watch shopping channels, I would want to watch in HD to see the product detail. I also don't complain much...

    No. No one noticed that. I did notice that Bend got an SD PBS with HD in their call letters. :D

    This whole conversation shows what a big bucket of fail the DISH marketing department is. People don't even understand the packages that they already have, let alone the other choices they have. Remember the early days of "DSS"? When you had to buy some channels from DirecTV and others from...

    But there were still six left from the last batch. 7+6 is 13. See the TMP channel chart thread for specifics...HDRoberts has been keeping up with it since I've been busy lately.

    It's part of their '09 marketing plan to keep everyone in the dark about everything.

    Considering most of the call signs have the letters "PX" in them, there is a 0% chance that you are wrong.

    I'd bet that it's just like BET-J...the HD feed hasn't launched yet. There has never been any announcement or indication that Logo HD was even planned. Try googling "Logo HD"...nothing comes up related to the channel. Probably some references will start appearing soon, but they will all be...

    I've never seen the channel at all, isn't it all skateboarding and stuff like that? I don't know what Islands Restaurant is either. But anyway, there IS theoretically a Fuel HD. As opposed to BET-J & WFN (and possibly Logo if you listen to the rumors), which were added to Platinum HD even...

    That's a PI channel that's always been there (I think). Seems like they've been moving the religious PI channels and moving them down to the regular religious section. EDIT- Yup...9408 is STARF..."Starfish Television Network"

    Fuel = a lock for Speed HD and FX HD. Now everyone can start whining that we don't have Fuel HD. ;) Actually, I'm surprised that since Fuel-HD actually exists, they didn't just put it in Platinum and skip the SD version. After all, they've been putting NON HD channels like BET-J in there...

    Yeah, I've heard Logo has some good concerts from what I've heard too. This guy is pretty much the definition of a homophobic. Like, I don't want to see actual gay porn, but to be so afraid of a basic cable channel based on the audience it's aimed at is really really pathetic. By that...

    373 was added, but I don't see anything about Logo. And again, it's not HD.
