Sorry for the formatting above cut and Pasternak from my iPhone.

Look like DISH is dropping FUSE though

WTH? More channels Dish is dropping? Fuse is hell of a lot better than Paladia. So we get an SD Paladia and need Platinum to get it in HD? Lame.

EDIT: Though I see Paladia in HD is now turned back on for me, not subscribed to Platinum. Is this a free preview like Indie and Retro or permanent?

I have had PALLADIA in HD off DISH since 7/28/2009 with the 250 and Platinum package.

Fuse is 1000 times better than palladia.
Palladia gets new video's at least a year after they have been played on the radio.

But they do have some nice concerts coome on every so often.

LOL!

Keep them coming charlie.

That's what I thought when I saw the thread.

Dish Launches Palladia! Seriously? I would have rather the title be "Dish Drops Fuse." Why do they insist on making it seem like they are giving us something? So, a price increase equals a decrease in channels? Not following...

Why not add MTV U, CMT Pure Country, VH1 Soul, MTV Hits, or MTV Jams? How about all of them?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I don't get it... so if it's part of AT 200 and above then why do you need to subscribe to the Platinum package to get it in HD?

Got to admit I haven't watched FUSE much since they got rid of the hot goth chick and the show Pants Off Dance Off.

I must be nots!! I had Palladia on Dish for at least one year now in HD. Fuse was only in SD so dish will downgrade an HD channel to SD and call that a new channel to replace another channel? I know Palladia HD will still be with Dish. Fuse in HD would be news.

Same here, except on absolute.

I don't understand how they can launch something that is and has been in place for awhile. Confused about the headline.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Just posting the headline that they put in their press release.

 

[Mojo Jojo]

I don't get it... so if it's part of AT 200 and above then why do you need to subscribe to the Platinum package to get it in HD?

I agree. Shouldn't it be included with HD Free For Life?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I agree. Shouldn't it be included with HD Free For Life?

I do think it should. After all its a AT200 station now.

 

[TigerpounceTN]

Wow. A press release about a channel that pretty much every provider, including Dish, has had for ages to disguise the fact that they just lost another channel. That is just pathetic. Way to play hardball there, Charlie. I can't imagine how pissed I'd be if I were still a subscriber.

 

[CubsWin]

That sucks. I liked Fuse, except for it not being in HD. At least now I get Palladia! Oh wait, I already had it.

 

[db2]

What's next? We lose ESPN and dish "launches" the home shopping network?

 

[yaz96]

WOOHOO! We just gained...........I mean LOST another channel! Wow!

 

[Paradox-SJ]

again...if it wasn't reported on here...i would have never noticed

Charlie is counting on that.
