I don't think that is correct (or there is another report coming in a minute).

What should it be?

What should it be?

It may just be the signal, rather than the tables.

Over the past hours, 213 and 214 have changed back and forth a couple of times, producing weird results as reported by Scott himself in:

http://www.satelliteguys.us/dish-network-forum/213936-dish-network-launches-weather-cast-2.html

That changes whether the channels match the uplink report description or not.

PS I think that someone decided that the usual "close of business on the preceding day" was when they could take down TWC, and then they were overruled by someone who decided that they better wait until actual midnight.

I have also heard that the package flags for WeatherCast will be different when it replaced TWC (i.e. it will use the TWC package flags, so everyone gets exactly what they had before in terms of weather channels).

What's this "everyone"? Those of us with 119/110/61.5 aren't getting Weathercast in HD!

It's a moot point as Dish and The Weather Channel have come to a last minute agreement.

Nor are they getting any of the other 16 HD channels which launched over the last 2 months.

 

[dbstv]

I am getting them now
I had to add eastern arc dish 1000.4 to get 61.5 and 72.7 plus my dish 500 as my locals are both on 119 and 110 only into a DPP 44 switch was expensive way to do it but dish paid for it

Nor are they getting any of the other 16 HD channels which launched over the last 2 months.

I spoke with a supervisor at Dish last night. They said that TWC would not be going off the air at 12am eastern time last night. Due to an extension in the negotiations.
