The 301 was already on the the list. When I upgraded from a 301 to a 221K, years ago, I was told to recycle the 301....
Which is why the excuse that they are waiting for 8PSK capacity gain on the WA for these channels was just a red herring by Dish's PR machine. They are going to have to get those 301 replaced, which will be quite the chore.
I just took a look around, and looking at Lyngsat it does not appear any of the ABC / ESPN / DISNEY HD channels are on C Band satellite.
I posted this in another thread and the same logic may be applicable here:
The news of the contract signing was leaked. Dish is under no obligation to appease customers by quickly providing channels that they weren't even supposed to know that contract terms were agreed on. Presume the contract states April 1 as the start date. That gives Dish almost a month to get the technical stuff taken care of, marketing department to make promotional stuff related to new channels/services/etc, and so on.
The smart thing that Dish and ABC/Disney/ESPN could have done was denied, denied, denied that anything was final. We wouldn't be having this debate if they'd have done that.

Agree; it's obvious disinformation. I have 3 obsolete receivers: a 301, a 111, and a 4900. The only one that can demodulate 8PSK is the 111. Guess which receiver is the only one on the list Scott gave earlier in this thread?
Everybody who knew anything has been incredibly tight-lipped for the last 6 months. Imagine the pressure they built up in all that time!

Assuming Februrary's increases were done with Disney deal in mind, yeah, I guess one could make that argument. Then again, maybe the increase was done assuming a 4/1 start date (otherwise, the increase would have been $ 5.50, not $ 5

lol your evil!
But are they viewable by a consumer. I dumped my 4DTV when the stream was shut down and you had to jump thru hoops in order to get any reception.
Let be honest, they knew in December what the new pricing was going to be, in fact if you search it was posted that they agreed to pricing before that. The big hold up at that time was how the digital rights were going to work.Assuming Februrary's increases were done with Disney deal in mind, yeah, I guess one could make that argument.
