Any idea what the standalone cost will be for this channel ?

 

[Slamminc11]

$1.99

Yeah, the notice is up on the EPG this morning.

This is a good thing for me. The higher numbers are harder to remember. Now more people will want to watch thinking it is a channel with programing more like the others. Then they try it and keep watching.

I dont get channel 231 right now on the 811 and its suppose to be in package (DishFamily). Are we sure Dish added it today?

Yep. Showing on my 522 with AT200.

According to what Scott posted, it will be on 9398 for DISH Family. No idea why they would use two different channels.

 

[Mr Tony]

oh didnt see that. Right now DishFamily has it on 9398 (its been there when they made the package) and BYUTV is 9397 so I guess I'm set then

 

[Buzzdar]

showing on my 625 today here as well

I still can't see it on my 322. ACSR confirmed that it should have happened yesterday.
