as of right now CHILLER is now active

[bart2fan]

So only one question remains: will DISH be able to keep their promise of CHILLER being launched today? opinions?

 

[MikeD-C05]

50/50 chance I would say.

 

[KAB]

5:00 p.m. Eastern was the stated time.

Personally, I wish they wouldn't waste the bandwidth with new SD channels.

Personally, I wish they wouldn't waste the bandwidth with new SD channels.

1 SD channel likely takes up next to no bandwidth and is being put on an existing transponder with other SD channels.

And since Chiller HD is not yet available, it's this or nothing.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

You should see it around 2PM ET today.

You can get more than one MPEG4 HD channel in place of one SD channel.

 

[Peter Parker]

So now are we compalining about the fact that we ARE getting trhe channel?

 

[Bradp56]

I cant wait to get this. I checked dish networks site and Chiller is listed on there.

Nope. Not unless you compress it so much that it's completely unwatchable.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Got this in my email...

 

[Poke]

Yeah this is will be ok but let's all hope we keep seeing more National HD as well..

I don't mind, plus it may lead to a new HD channel later this year.

thanks guys for the replies, so if anyone does see it on their tv around 2pm just post on here and keep me updated, since i'm at school and have no way of accessing DISH right now.

I don't see any national HD coming this week, to much shuffling for Eastern Arc.

 

[milslim]

[Scott Greczkowski]

As of last night, yes.
