DISH Holiday Fireplace

[JayR]

The yule log/fireplace/bonfire programming is typical of local stations and cable networks; however, DISH decided to get in the game and place "DISH Holiday Fireplace" on channel 456, which is normally used for pay-per-view sporting events.

SD on 456, HD on 455.

Wow a fake fire in HD.

I guess dish felt the need to One up the Hallmark Movies and Mystery channel in the Yule log fight this year....The Hallmark channel does have an occasional Cat and Dog that run around. Dish needs to step up their game next year.

Wow a fake fire in HD.

I think we know who requested that.

It needs christmas music.

Channel 11 WPIX has their log going now. You can watch at http://pix11.com/2015/12/24/watch-the-wpix-yule-log-livestream-and-learn-about-its-history/

SD on 456, HD on 455.

I actually saw it on 102...both SD & HD look the same to me; at least HD 102 was certainly NOT widescreen.

I guess they decided it would be more realistic to provide (just) the actual crackling of a real fireplace instead...& for US to supply the music.

Maybe Santa will take someone off vacation.

It's on channel 102 as well, but only until 3:00pm ET.

It may be a little terrifying if your screen is much larger than 50".

It's so hot here, my wife had me turn it off and put on "A Christmas Snowfall."

It looks great on my 70"er. I feel like I live in a mansion!

Well while I noticed a couple less (cable) stations having "yule logs" this year (UP is one that had one last year, but not this year) I still have plenty to choose from, since I have the superstations. The 3 CW (Tribune) supers have them, but they're all different; the music that comes on KTLA's log is from a simulcast w/KOST-FM. WGN-Chicago (the local) I get has one, & OTA sub Antenna TV had one early this AM as well.

if you live in the DFW, KTXA has a Yule Log fireplace on it right now, but that will end at 3 PM CT.

Noticed Netflix has a 4K fireplace channel.

Don't tell a certain twangy music fan this.

He is still on vacation.

I heard hes enjoying it, so I am thinking about cashing in a few gift cards and extending it for him.
