DISH is dumping Chiller on 2/1

[pattykay]

Isn't NatGeo Wild also only on AT250?

Last summer, it was rumored to be moving down to a lower package. At the time, there was an oddball unannounced free preview of the standard-def feed of National Geographic (the main channel, not Wild) that lasted for four months before Dish fixed it. I think Dish was trying to change the package-flag for NatGeo Wild, and they screwed up by putting the wrong channel in free preview instead.

Yes I'm still waiting/hoping for NatGeoWild to move to AT200. That is the only channel I miss from moving from AT250 to At200.

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

looks like an error, went online, saw it listed under Top120, 120+ and Dish America, decided to give Dish a call to varify, CSR told me it was an error

NBCSN was in free preview for about 3 hours yesterday. Must have been a mistake too.

Thanks for checking on that.

You only save $10 a month for downgrading to AT 200. You can get that much credit by calling Dish and asking for a $10 monthly credit.

I think it sucks that chiller is gone. I watched the x files every Sunday night on it.

Usually, a short free preview like that would mean a package-flag change, though.

Do you have a My Network TV affiliate? I think they show The X Files, or maybe it just happens to be syndicated on my local affiliate.

I think NBC Sports Network did change packages. I haven't seen any mention of a free preview; and at my work, we have America Top 120 and we currently have NBC Sports Network and we didn't before. LailaS@DISH or some other DIRT member might be able to let us know if there has been any change or if it is an unlisted free preview. I see the webpage still has it as AT120 and above.

 

[pattykay]

if it is an unlisted free preview.

It is not a free preview. It definitely requires a subscription. I do not get it on my deactivated receivers that get free previews, nor on my activated receivers with Flex Pack or Welcome Pack. (two separate accounts)

Remember folks NBC pulled the plug on the channel. It is no longer available anywhere. This was not something Dish did on their own

Thanks for trying to put this thread back on topic, but most of the discussion on this page has been about NBC Sports moving down to a lower package, or NatGeo Wild doing the same. (A rumor that you posted last summer.)

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

A few people have pm'ed me and a few people posted here that they were upset as they watched this channel. This was not a dish thing.

As of 02/01/2017, NBC Sports Network channel was added to the America's Top 120 and above packages.

Wait, what? Are we still talking about Chiller? Chiller's website still acts like they exist, and I haven't seen any discussion of other providers dropping it. Are you thinking of Cloo?

Dish dropped Cloo a long time ago, so if people are just now noticing and sending Scott PM's about it, then it must not have been a very popular channel.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Sorry folks I got my channels messed up. It was Cloo that NBC pulled the plug on not Chiller. My apologies.
