DISH is dumping Chiller on 2/1

[Juan]

How about adding BBC World News to AT 250? I am going to call Dish to get a $10 monthly credit for loss of Chiller.

Even if it were in HD, there wasn't much worth watching.

I agree. Some here would tell you that badprogramming in HD is better than anything in SD. But that channel had very little worth watching in any resolution.

Most channels have very little worth watching. I'd say that having it in HD would make the bad programming more palatable, but I can't.

I can't go with that either. There are a few off beat shows that are in SD that I watch and find funny or just different enough to be interesting. Schitts Creek, Teachers, Unusually Thicke (on no more) Impastor (just had it's last season) Night Caps for examples. Or shows on some of the sub channels that I haven't seen in years.All those for me beat a large chunk of new HD shows.

Sure, we all like HD, but like others I have found a lot of jewels out there that is not even available on DVD. I am a fan of a lot of the 50s/60s B sci fi movies.

I hope you aren't calling mine a B movie!

Definetly not a B movie! I remember seeing it when it first came out at the Reseda Theater. I was 12 and, even then, Anne Francis caused stirrings!!!

 

[TheKrell]

I was too young for stirrings at that time.

LOGO is only on AT250 which is irritating. I have to pay extra for one channel for 3 months a year. Does anyone remember a channel called TECH TV that was awesome?

 

[TheKrell]

I do. But my observation is that, no matter how awesome a channel stars out, the owner will decide they can make more money if they change the name and replace the good material with dumb reality programs. I think that happened to TechTV before it was killed completely.

Ah, yes. They began as Ziff Davis ZDTV, then TechTV, then Comcast bought it, merged it with G4, and then G4TechTV was really bastardized, then called just G4, and then dropped altogether in favor of Esquire.

Just got removed in the uplinks.

The B Movies from the 50s & 60s were the ones that kids used to go to the Saturday Matinee to see that triple feature. I watched The Red Planet Mars last night.

One thing I find interesting is that Chiller was removed, and NBCSN is now listed on AT120+ as well as Dish America on Dish's site.

Looks like it happened on the same day. I wonder if that was part of the latest NBC contract - dropping Chiller and the tradeoff is NBCSN gets more subs

If NBCSN is available in the AT120+, would be the best news, I have heard in years

Isn't it rumored NBC U is supposed to shut down Cloo as well?

They did, according to the message that Directv put on that channel.
