100 HD channels in Puerto Rico?

I may not have been clear that the false advertising claim was not made by you, did not mean it to be something you said, it was made in a post however. In fact it was from your post that I did conclude Dish is at or just about at 100. It begins to sound like even when Dish makes improvements, it will never be good enough. I undersand and agree for some reason Puerto Rico gets treated differently. And by differently I mean worse. But when I see a post that Dish has false advertising, over a count difference of a couple of HD channels, it just seems like trying to find something to complain about.
I don't get why for the some who are so upset with Dish that have to count be sure there are exactly 100 HD channels don't just use another service.

I don't know all the in's and out's of providing service to Puerto Rico in regards to programming restrictions. And I also understand there might have to be changes to the satellites that could adversly affect PR, but benefits the 48 or 50 states. That said, I have said from quite some time ago, Dish should come up with an actual package for PR, so you have something concrete to go on. There was one at one time.

I don't get the following, I don't know if they are available to PR; anyone who does get them, please confirm either way
368 CI
9418 PIXL
9421 VLCTY
9427 UNIHD
9467 NFLRZ
9495 CBSSN

So here we have a total of 89, or 95 with the ones I don't get. If we add the VOD (which I also don't get, anyone please confirm you have indeed watched them), it's either a max of 96 or 110, depending if you count the VOD as one channel with 15 movies or as 15 channels (should be one channel, right?)...
(For the really picky ones, please note that TEST and VLCTY are the same channel, so maybe we should count 88; 94 with the ones I am not sure; for a maximum of 95 or 109...)

Hope this list is useful. Any omissions or errors, please post... (By the way, I am counting Fox, even though is not yet available)

That's impressive work bro. & is actually quite a impressive list. Let's leave it to that & as mention above let's not behave as whatever good is done we end up finding something to bitch about.

As I said before....dish is giving Us more HD channels now then before. Let's enjoy what we can get...I mean I didn't expected that we will get networks in HD but here we have them now. So let's be thankful that we are getting quite a lot more HD now.

Let's hope that when dish get all modulation to 8psk we can get some more HD channel unless dish finds a way to add more before.

The only thing I realize after seeing your list.....Galavision over science channel in HD......grrrrr
 
Can we get blockbuster at home? Last time I tried I they said no but now I can access the upgrade from the hopper menu.
 
I wish Dish would authorize WAPA in the USVI so we would be able to watch the World Series on our local channel package.

When we didn't get locals in the USVI we got a $5.00 discount which partially offset the cost of buying locals from AAD.

The only thing I realize after seeing your list.....Galavision over science channel in HD......grrrrr
Thanks, rajmarie. Agree with you and Tampa. Things are getting better for us. Didn't mean for this thread to be seen as a complaint, I was just surprised by Dish announcement, curious to find out the facts, and trying to help folks that were asking the same question.
I also hope we get more in the (not so far) future. I for one, wish our lost premiums come back sometime.

:)Sorry about the Galavision thing:D
 
I'm not receiving most of the BB@H channels, including Sony (SD), Palladia, Retroplex, MGM, Indieplex, MAVTV, Logo, Epix3, Centric. Not quite sure if these are available to PR, but at least Palladia is, and I am not receiving it.
 
Those last four channels are not available in PR since they are part of the Blockbuster package for which we not authorized. I don't get them and I have 3 dishes with the AEP/Sports.:rant:

EPIX HD is not authorized in PR and is not even on 119/110/61.5.

Thanks for the info in the previous post.
About these channels, Sony is not available in our sats, Palladia is (i do receive it with AEP), the rest are not available. Epix3 is there, but only as a spotbeam for AK/HI, not as CONUS, so not available.
 
364 Velocity
366 UNIHD
368 CI

In the US Virgin Islands, we do not receive the channels you listed, but Velocity is in HD on channel 5710 today.
We also do not receive:
2 WKAQ
4 WAPA
8 WSEEP
11 WLII
27 WAPA2

but we are getting the HD version of WSEE at 18 (CBS) and PBS in SD on channel 60
Very, VERY happy with the new HD networks and continued improvements.
