TEMP HD TEMP HD??? Are they just place holder or is their actually HD stream???

Scroll back up and read post 5.

 

[jansan]

20 more new National HD Channels ? (and 5 French Open PPV channels)

Where is "Hans" when we need him ?

Oh, banned.

5 French Open Channels are not PPV channels. These feeds are part of Dish network Channel 100 deal. Same as last year. Enjoy the games!

Maybe Friday will be even better than Thursday?

Maybe Friday will be even better than Thursday?

Sure is nice to see some excitement at E* again!

 

[Rey]

would this put E ahead of D in the hd count?

 

[tman1991]

maybe its 20 channels of PPV.. or WFN 2 - 21!

 

[jansan]

Could be WFN-HD alternative Blackout feeds

 

[tomcrown1]

I know it is a trick from Dish--Since their is no feeds to these TEMP HD Channels and Dish knows about the uplink center---they want you to think that 20 more HD Channels are coming in the next couple of weeks---did it work???

 

[db2]

Are there even 20 HD channels that exist that Dish doesn't have yet (excluding voom)?

 

[dmendenjr]

20 not on e* challenge:

Viacom - 5 (ish) CMT, MTV, VH1, Nick, Spike, (BET?)
Fox - 5 (yeah righ) Speed, fX, Fox Business, Fox News, fuse (or is it fuel - can never remember)
Tribune - 1 WGN
Rainbow (yeah right) - 2 AMC Ifc
Discovery - 1 (that launches in June or July) Planet Green
Outdoor Channel - 1
Lifetime (another yeah right) - 2 - Lifetime and Lifetime Movie
Mojo - 1
QVC
Wealth TV

phew - there's your 20
Plus more if you add in Premiums, RSNs, and any missing odd ball stations they want to pull out of Canada or Mexico (like WFN:Ocho)

 

[tman1991]

Dish Network the EXCLUSIVE home of WFN:Ocho!

Man that made my day!

 

[RandallA]

Whoa, nice surprise. You can forget about Voom coming back or at least coming back with the same channel numbers. They've been now replaced.

 

[TalonDancer]

Are there even 20 HD channels that exist that Dish doesn't have yet (excluding voom)?

Ummmm.... NO there are not 20 HD channels that Dish does not have yet (excluding voom). However, there are probably at least 20 more channels which have HD somewhere in their logo, HD commercials and/or maybe a tiny bit of HD programming

[dmendenjr]

Thought of two more not on e*, RFD-HD and CSTV HD.

Probably 5-6 more that are escaping my mind, but still plenty of 4:3"HD" and Strecth-o-matic stations just waiting for the bandwidth.

 

[PopcornNMore]

crap! i just signed with directv today! does anyone know what these channels might be?

Yes, every HD channel DirecTV has plus a whole lot more.

 

[jerryez]

Starz has several, HBO has several and CMax might have some.

 

[ESPN]

I speculate nothing more than a new HD channel lineup (existing), with a few additional (new) national HD.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Perhaps we will hear something tomorrow (although I doubt it) as there is a Dish Network Retailer Chat at Noon Eastern.

 

[Bradp56]

How about 5 Voom and 15 National?

 

[jerryez]

I count 14 that Direct has that Dish Doesn't, not including RSN's.
