Rumor Alert!

[nrholland]

Boy, I'm glad I switched from DTV! Dish is adding HD channels all time

NOT FOR TURBO SUBSCRIBERS!!!!!!!!!!!! :rant:

 

[glowrdr]

Nah, for the low price of $19.95 you can find out all three right now

Don't make me SlapChop you....

 

[nrholland]

I have been informed that Turbo HD subscribers may also be getting HSN-HD at no extra charge! Isn't that great?

I'M JUST SOOOO THRILLED!!!!! OH...HAPPY DAY!!:clap

Yep QVC Home shopping in HD now does not want to make you spend your money.

You can be sure that no CANADIAN channels will get added to E* (or D*). There's no demand for Canadian channels down here (except for Canadians that live in the states. They'll have to use the internet to watch anything from Canada or go Grey market.

The "Gol TV HD" that is in that list is actually a Canadian channel that has different ownership and programming than Gol TV in the USA, and the latter has no announced plans for HD.

 

[Islandguy43]

Hopefully Scott is not releasing the names in the order of the more appealing ones first

Ya here they are

QVC-HD

CSPAN-HD 1

CSPAN-HD 2

Now that should make the turbo subs happy

 

[kstuart]

I wish it was BBC World News in HD (or SD for that matter). I cannot understand why every other country in the world has BBC World News on their cable, satellite, telco provider EXCEPT for this one!! Ridiculous! :rant:

BBC America has BBC World News five times a day for a full hour each time.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

BBC America has BBC World News five times a day for a full hour each time.

Wait...

Let me do some math here....

Is that a total of FIVE hours of BBC news a day?

WOW! I should have had a V8!

 

[davcole]

I was thinking it would be E. However for my Classic Silver Tier, I guess the only one's i'd get are BBC America and QVC.

 

[PHXHoward]

The BBC channel sounds nice. Will they broadcast Weakest Link in HD?

 

[STL]

Boy, I'm glad I switched from DTV! Dish is adding HD channels all time

NOT for TurboHD customers. They got the largest prices increases yet got the fewest new HD channels.

 

[ryotgz]

I'd like E! HD & G4 HD

 

[AKGolf]

I wonder if these are CONUS only or also part of the Alaska/Hawaii packages?

When they remapped the Alaska HD channels in the 07/14/09 uplink report to the 4301-4347 range they left three slots empty(4320,4339,4344).

 

[w1ckedindian]

why dont we have CNN International?

 

[Yes616]

Well it's getting kind of late for today. I guess not today.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

No uplink as of yet for today that I have seen.

But these 3 HD channels were uplinked on the already uplink TMP placeholder channels the other day. Its just a case of changing the name, assigning it a new channel number and turning it on to the subs.

 

[KAB]

Well it's getting kind of late for today. I guess not today.

Once again, BBCA HD starts broadcasting July 20.

Do you know which subs?
I know I would be heartbroken with out QVC HD. Not.......

Does DISH ever turn on a channel on a Monday? BBC America HD is only starting on Monday.

Plenty of demand for Canadian channels. The issue is copyrights. To many things shown on Canadian TV that US broadcasters have exclusive rights to in the US.
