You get Encore HD channel when we say you do?

Had to drop down to ATHD120 just lately,then I thought I would get Encore A La Cart,well it went well till the other day,because I had Encore HD-340 then I lost it.When I called in today to complain DISH says you need ATHD250 or the Starz package for Encore HD-340.I told them I have the HD For Life commitment,they said sorry can't give it to you unless you change your package.The good part is because I called to complain DISH offered me the Encore package for $2.50 a month for 6 months which is about what it's worth because it's HDless.

Although i wish they were, Encore East SD/HD (340) and Encore Family (347) are not included in the $5 a la carte Encore Movie Pack. Channels 341-346 and 377 are included.

341 Encore West
342 Encore Westerns
343 Encore Action
344 Encore Suspense
345 Encore Drama
346 Encore Love
377 MoviePlex

340 Encore HD is included in Dish America Gold, America's Top 250, America's "Everything" Pak, and Starz.

340 Encore SD is only included in Starz.

347 Encore Family is included in America's Top 250 and America's "Everything" Pak.*

340 Encore HD, 341-347 Encore themed channels, and 377 MoviePlex are in America's Top 250.

344 Encore Suspense and 377 MoviePlex are included in Blockbuster @ Home along with 353 Starz Cinema, 378 IndiePlex HD, and 379 RetroPlex HD as well as other movie and variety channels ( along with one-disc at a time from Blockbuster).

I hope that helps.

*Note: Recently, I noticed that Encore Family was in free preview. Then, it went away. Then, it came back when OWN, GSN, and The Hub were added to the Heartland Package. I am not sure if it was added to Encore Movie Pack, Heartland package, Starz, or is just in free preview again. I like that it is back since the Encore channels are uncut and commercial-free. I wish Dish would add the rest that are available in HD, and I wish Starz would add the remaining SD Encores in HD.

Guess the boys are giving me a break because I'm still getting Encore Family,I'll get ready to lose another one!

Face it if you subscribe to the Encore Movie package a la cart like I do, you should get everything Encore.:rant:

Last count I do believe Encore Action and Encore Drama went HD.

Too bad Dish does not. You can listen to SiriusXM Spa on Dish Earth on channel 287, though.

Since I'm saving some money with Dish America it doesn't bother me that the audio channels are not there. I use my Roku to listen to Live365 and other services to get my music for free. But thanks for the tip about Dish Earth!

We listen to Pandora on the Roku. I saw a few more free music channels on there, but I did not get then from the Channel Store, yet. There is a Sirius XM private channel, but I cannot figure it out.

Not true. Action and Drama are SD only--at least on my WA list.

They are available in HD but not on all providers like Dish for example.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne

Get it?

An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Monday 11/2 is a full slate for NBA League Pass as all 30 teams are playing and 14 out of 15 total games are on NBALP. Only one national TV game on Peacock/NBCSN (Thunder @ Cavs).

DirecTV is even having to use several MLB EI channels (from 745-748) and a NHL CI (770) channel to fit all of them in the guide close together. 5 games at 7:30 ET, 3 games at 8 ET, 2 games at 8:30 ET, 1 game at 9 ET, 3 games at 10 ET. Luckily NHL CI is light on Monday (3 games on CI).

DirecTV is providing both broadcast feeds for all League Pass games except Hornets, Magic, Bucks & Raptors that night. These are all teams that have local broadcasts via a OTA channel which is on spotbeams and have streaming deals (DTC) that are not exclusive DAZN teams which DirecTV just signed a deal with (à la Spurs, Grizzlies, Cavs, Pacers & T'Wolves). Its also very common that we don't get Raptors broadcast very often from TSN or Sportsnet Ontario on League Pass.

11/2/26 (MON) EASTERN	7:00 PM	7:30 PM	8:00 PM	8:30 PM	9:00 PM	10:00 PM
Peacock/NBCSN	Thunder @ Cavaliers
NBA League Pass	None	Pistons (745) @ Hornets	Kings (755) @ Mavericks (756)	Celtics (760) @ Rockets (761)	Trail Blazers (764) @ Nuggets (765)	Suns (769) @ Warriors (770)
		Hawks (746) @ Pacers (747)	Pelicans (757) @ Grizzlies (758)	Jazz (762) @ Spurs (763)		Raptors @ Clippers (766)
		Nets (748) @ Knicks (751)	Bucks @ T'Wolves (759)			Heat (767) @ Lakers (768)
		Wizards (752) @ Magic
		Bulls (753) @ 76ers (754)
		*No Hornets, Magic local broadcasts	*No Bucks local broadcast			*No Raptors local broadcast

Only the Knicks, Nets, Wizards, Bulls, Celtics, Rockets, Lakers, Warriors, Avalanche, Sharks and Bruins feeds will be using remaps of 24/7 RSNs that night. The rest will be relying on the part time feeds, including the Nuggets, Blackhawks and Kings who will be on their alt/overflow channels, and MSG Western NY will be live on channel 635-1 to carry Buffalo area ads during the Knicks game.

The NHL Network alternate will be live on channel 215-1 with Red Wings @ Panthers for those blacked out of Golden Knights @ Bruins on the main feed.

The Thunder @ Cavaliers game will be on one of Peacock Game Pass channels that night for commercial customers, they'll also have the back to back U-Conn Women's and Men's Basketball. One of the part time feeds will also be in use for WWE Raw via Joe Hand promotions.

RIP Patrick Stewart

Patrick Stewart died yesterday, October 28th at the age of 86. We lost yet another great actor.

Patrick Stewart, ‘Star Trek’ Captain and ‘X-Men’ Superhero, Dies at 86

He’s forever known for playing Jean-Luc Picard and Charles Xavier, whom he “admired for their morality, for their kindness, for their sensitivity, for their compassion.”

Since it was already "paid" for, I spent the two hours of my time watching the John Cena action movie on Apple TV, "Matchbox The Movie" even though the reviews were brutal. It was better than I expected, so I didn't feel like I had wasted an afternoon watching it. But it felt like another "Reacher"/"Neghley"/"Mission: Impossible"/"Fast & Furious" crash and blow stuff up with lots of automatic gunfire mixed in movie featuring covert CIA operatives.

I don't think we'll get a follow-up movie from this. I expect Mattel will have other toy lines to exploit.
