Free Previews Discussion Thread - October 2020

135 BBC America 7/20 - 10/11 (Note: this preview was originally listed until 10/12, so it has been shortened by one day.)
It looks like this preview was not shortened after all. So, the original date was correct, and channel 103 SD and the mydish Free Previews page were both wrong this month. :)

I updated the listing of free channels on Dish to reflect today's changes. Dish removed the free channels that had been used to promote the Flex Pack and Channel Packs. :(
Uplinks Removed
9605 FLXPK removed from 110° TP 8 (SD Preview)
9605 FLXPK removed from 72.7° TP 21 (SD MPEG4 Preview)
9606 CHPK removed from 110° TP 8 (SD Preview)
9606 CHPK removed from 72.7° TP 22 (SD MPEG4 Preview)


Let the rumors about the upcoming demise of Flex Pack begin.

That same uplink report also shows that Dish is testing something involving SiriusXM Soul Town. Whatever they changed had no effect on the ongoing perpetual free preview of that channel, though. :)
