Well I'm not sure about this I was subbed to spice and got switched to hustler and the programming even though it is xxx, it's just not spice oriented.
 
For what its worth. I was told by a CSR that if you have a monthly subscription to Hustler SD, you also get the HD version along with it at no additional charge. Im getting the SD but the HD channel still says PPV. She said to give it a little time to show up.

Not going to happen Hustler HD is PPV only.
 
Dish much be made at Playboy today. We lost three Playboy channels today. Why!!!

Have no idea if it is related, but the chair of playboy, Scott Flanders used to be chair of Freedom communications - with whom Dish was feuding over HD pricing for their local affiliates. As soon as Flanders left Freedom, Dish and Freedom inked a deal for HD.
 
Dish thinks they can generate some additional revenue by only offering it as a PPV.

They could generate even more revenue if they'd let people in Tennessee see these channels. Some of them are blocked. I realize this is Tennessee's problem and not *E's.

I love having the government in my bedroom...
 
I don't see how local governments are allowed to interfere with interstate commerce. Dish should provide the channels to everyone, and take anyone who complains to federal court.

Is it a decency standard issue or an issue with the satellites he is aiming toward (or MPEG4 / Smartcard issue)? I didn't think that the community decency standards come into play unless you are dealing with free, broadcast content; making said content available to minors; publicly displaying it; etc. I mean, I'm sure that people in that area can access much worse than what dish has up on the internet or magazine subscriptions...

However, if it really is due to local obsenity laws, then so be it. Decency standards are (for the moment) one of the few rights still left up to individual communities and states... let's not invite big bro into that one.
