wow bout time fox business now make it available

 

[jdmacor]

SD? Well, I guess I won't be seeing it...

 

[jwgreen68]

Just because it's SD, doesn't mean that it won't be uplinked in HD. I would think that this is a good sign that an agreement was reached with Fox. And it wouldn't make any sense for such an agreement to not include the HD feeds.

 

[digiblur]

Yep...I'd say I smell FOXB-HD coming shortly.

 

[Skyhi]

I hope FX will be coming as well!

 

[M Sparks]

I hope FX will be coming as well!

Most likely...they've already indicated Speed and FX were on the way. This was probably the final sticking point.

Either this Wednesday or next should be good ones.

With all the TMP HD channels, it could already be up there.

Perhaps with all the rumors bout what was coming in Feb, they wanted to throw us a hint.

 

[Jeff0575]

could already be uplinked as one of the temp channels.

 

[M Sparks]

Not that I care about this channel but...there went yet ANOTHER chance to add some value to the Platinum HD package.

 

[M Sparks]

Hey, is that other SD TMP channel still floating around? Logo? FitTV?

Are you trying to say you would prefer they put HD channels on the top tier? That makes no sense to me.

This old dog will take that bone!

Yep. It seems like they're going to have to add some channels to get people to pay $10/month for it.

 

[jwgreen68]

Are you trying to say you would prefer they put HD channels on the top tier? That makes no sense to me.

My personal opinion is, I think Dish may end up restructuring the tiers. There's not much offered in Platinum right now and really not much incentive to sub to it. Yes, they could add all new HD to that, but if so, then they could be underpricing themselves then. I bet only a handful of people really know what's going to happen.

 

[jwgreen68]

FoxB is live! SD , right now!

 

[Skyhi]

FoxB is live! SD , right now!

Yep. I can second that. Today is probably the only day I'll tune in

 

[tigerfan33]

Yep...I'd say I smell FOXB-HD coming shortly.

If it is, you can bet that FNC hd is right around the corner.

 

[Hemi 6.1]

What channel do we lose to get this one? MGM?

 

[dennispap]

What channel do we lose to get this one? MGM?
