what did that person do? WMUR has been available for years to all NH residents but because Dish had their hand slapped 6 years ago they no longer could offer it there
Nice that the FCC relaxed the rule for dish to once again offer it
BEIN sport is live on Dish Network on Channel 408. Should be an uplink report soon. Free Preview ends 9/11 (how brainless is that ?)

So, Fashion TV SD is on channel 596 in the International Basic package ($10/month). My guess is that one would have to sub to some type of international programming. Another guess is that one would need a setup in order to view the international channels. I am not sure if that would really be worthwhile.

The FCC rules had been relaxed for over a year.....in September 2011 Vermont's southern counties were finally allowed to watch their own Vermont stations even though they were technically in the Albany or Boston DMAs. That was due to the efforts of US Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont. Dish was not self motivated to add out of market stations. In NH, US Senator Jean Shaheen was the squeaky wheel backed up by NH Senator Jeb Bradley and a few others.

nah. The rule that Dish still had to abide by was the only ay they could import a station to a different market was if there was no affiliate there. There were plenty fo threads on it back then
correct but that happened after Dish was allowed to import neighboring stations if the market was missing one. That law took effect after that
Dish wanted to add WMUR but the FCC still said they couldn't. Threads on it back then

No uplink report on that due to my stupidity.
Each time the uplink is run (which is every 13 minutes) it creates a number of large dump files as it pulls information from tsreader. Doing this so many times a day over so many months = lots of files eating up the hard drive.
So every two months or so I go through and clean things up removing the old files. Normally when I delete these files I sort the files from oldest to newest. Tonight I messed up and sorted them from Newest to Oldest, so when I went through and selected them I deleted them all including all the reference data from today. So I had to have it run the uplink tool to rebuild a new base image, so it had nothing older to compare it to so it didn't catch the beIN changes (which went from not available to Available then to Free Preview)
So totally stupid move on my part.
But I did free up 40 gig on the hard drive. 
At this moment, SD only, tomorrow, who knows... But, that said, I just watched a piece of a match and it looks like s**t on my 70". I'll not be looking at a lot this way.

So there is an actual satellite at 148 slot now? I thought the main reason DISH lost the license there was a lack of an actual satellite to put at that location.
And equally important, wasn't Echostar 5 deorbited (which, in geostationary terms, means pushed to a higher orbit out of the way) 3 years ago?
LIVE REAL TIME SATELLITE TRACKING AND PREDICTIONS: ECHOSTAR 5
Could Dish be reusing some ID that was used for E5 for a different satellite?
Not to mention MSNBC, CNN, Bloomberg, The Weather Channel, NBC, ABC, CBS, HBO and on and on.
Beck is changing the name of GBTV to Blaze TV next month.
A few months ago, They asked me to participate in a subscriber survey. One of the questions asked if I had any interest in subscribing if the service was available on a platform other than the internet. They specifically mentioned Dish. This might be it. Or not. We'll see.
I am sure you are correct, but I would not dismiss the contributions of the NH legistlators. Check my 6-19-12 post in that last thread. Senator Shaheen's office predicted the addition of WMUR this summer. It seems to me that if they knew in advance this was to happen, they must have had some involvement in the deal.
No matter if it was Dish's initiative or not, we are just glad to have WMUR on Dish.
