Another channel gone

[pattykay]

This is a win. Frees up bandwidth so real channels can have less compression.

Up next to replace them: a whole suite of shopping channels in HD!
(Nothing actually uplinked to replace them, yet. Just be careful what you wish for...)

 

[pattykay]

Riiiiiiiight. Like other channels benefited from the disappearance of HBO and Cinemax

Dish had to continue to reserve that bandwidth (and most of their old channel numbers) for their eventual return. Many of those channels are uplinked now.

Must be killing them that they tried to extort Dish and the two reactions they are getting are "so what?" and "who the hell were you again?". Wonder who might be seeking new employment over this decision.

And nothing of value or importance was lost.

Let's be sure to discuss topics and not other posters. Thanks.

Interesting that Z Living does stream, but now a person has to sign in to get the free app on the Roku/Fire Stick. But that is impossible, as when I go to the site on either the computer or chromebook the message pops up it is an unsafe site. So no way to sign in. I can get the Z Living channel from another streaming source that has that channel included though. Strange.

Then where did you get the quote from?

It was a post that was made by MrDRC (who is a member) and deleted. Juans post was made with the quote before it was deleted.

That has since been corrected.

May I suggest that when posts that have already been quoted get deleted, a placeholder should be put there, even if it is just to say "Post deleted for _________ reason."? That would eliminate a lot of confusion in cases like these. Thanks.

Well that does happen, and did.
However when it was quoted, the staff member that deleted it probably didn’t see that it was quoted and left it.
Then after THAT was deleted a note was left stating the reason “quoted deleted post”.
It shows up differently as to why on different platforms however.

I’m sure it’s all a misunderstanding.

That's exactly what happened. I deleted the first one not realizing there was another post. I went back and deleted the second one. Mea culpa and my apologies for any confusion.

Here I am wondering what channel was mrdrc, and reflecting that it seems even fewer people care about it than did zliving.

for those who will miss Hunter, I'll bet a quick search on Roku will find at about 15 free sources.

15? That's pretty close. PlutoTv, Tubi and others that are free.

Liked it for The Adventures of Ozzi and Harriet. They also had some old and recently old shows that are also on other channels. But then it also had some odd programming of health, religious, and infomercials. Can't say that I'll miss the channel, though.
