[VinceT3]

amazingly are they planning to split noggin and the n?

 

[DBS Commando]

Looks like it. With this uplink, I wouldn't be surprised if Viacoms went live tomorrow.

What a weird channel number though, they need to put it in the 170s

 

[Pepper]

you sure the channel name "N" doesn't mean "Not viacom" ??

 

[JohnH]

Degrassi: The Next Generation

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

John are you saying it has guide data?

 

[JohnH]

Yep!!

I think I'd still be surprised as they aren't exercising the TMPs they added to the tables. Digi says the bandwidth is just of the slate variety. Tomorrow is also holidayish for many companies. Some will be escaping work/town as early as possible.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yep!!

Excellent news.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

It might just be a GOOD FRIDAY afterall.

 

[dishMIKE]

But it's in SD ?Mike

 

[Juan]

we have a deal?!?

 

[Laddyboy]

Yep, the N is SD. Unless a miracle has occurred.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

The N is only in SD.

Currently Dish splits a channel between Noggin and The N. From 6am to 6 PM NOGGIN airs, and the rest of the time The N airs.

This is a sign that Dish is working on the Viacom channels, and also a good sign that Noggin and The N will finally split.

 

[digiblur]

Hmmm... a google search finds this:

Girls Games, Quizzes, and Full Episodes | The N

And the EPG matches. Is that what the Noggin is now?

The kids are used to not getting that channel after we moved to Turbo Bronze. They actually split at Viacom's end a year or so ago, didn't they. E* is the only place they shared channel space.

Wild thought, but maybe that's what the holdup with the new HD is. Viacom is making Dish finally sort out the whole Noggin/N issue before giving them access to the new channels.

Noggin is for the younger ones. The N is teen-tweenish with original series like Degrassi, The Best Years, etc. and reruns of older shows that might be of interest to young teens/tweens.

Well, that'd make a lot of people happy if that's the case.

yeah I've always been annoyed that we couldn't turn on noggin when my and my daughter get home at 6-6:30... I always had to revert to recorded shows.. its nice for those still on dish.. but regardless of what dish does.. saturday I'll have them split up
