New ESPN channels?

[onsiteSat]

Is anyone else receiving channels 147 and 148 on dish As ESP3A and ESP4A (respectively) Or is this a Dealer only thing (I’m at the office)

 

[onsiteSat]

I just looked its only on my 811, 522 and 311 and not on the 921 (that figures).

I noticed them on my 811 today too, but there is nothing on them. they are just a blank screen.

so they are adding these extra channels for the womens bball tourny? that is compelling enough but espnu or espn2hd isn't? WTF????

Folks, please keep in mind that these two ESPN channels are nothing more than repurposed Sport PPV channels 467 and 468. IOW PPV Sports channels 467 and 468 are hidden and then mirrored and visible to subscribers on channels 145 and 146. This is the 3rd year they do this I remember off the top of my head. Look at the Dish channel chart archives for more detail on dates (http://ekb.dbstalk.com/247-2)

Things will return back to normal in a week or so.

See ya
Tony
