New MGM-HD Channel?

[Yes616]

I just noticed a second MGM channel so here we have 2 of them. Check channels 385 & 386 with different programing.

Free preview, already been discussed here. 386 channel should be gone tomorrow.

Why didnt they just open up the regular channel instead of adding another one?

They are running more promotional ads in the promo channel.

It's just a mirror and it is technically easier to give everyone a new channel then remove it from everyone that it is to give everyone an existing channel and then remove it from those who do not subscribe to it.

It can't be a mirror the programming is different

 

[garys]

It is the same programing, the movies are scheduled differently than on the actual channel.

Like i said the programming is different. If u want to see a mirror look at the Univision channels that appear in 2 different locations

Programing = what is being shown, Scheduling = order programs are being shown. The preview channel is showing the same programs in a different order. Doesn't really mater though as the preview channel will be gone in the morning.

Mirrored = Showing the same thing at the same time. If it shows the same programs in a different order then it is not a mirrored channel.

Details, details...

The two channel are not mirrors or identical by any stretch of the imagination. The programming shown at any given time on these two channels is different. These are two separate and distinct video/audio feeds. One has Dish Network "Platinum Preview" graphics, bugs and promos. The other one doesn't.

See ya

Two times the channels, two times the commercials!

Fun, fun, fun.
