Hehe...FTA=Free To Air
Reminds me of a friend of mine's wife was always asking where the town, "Crossover" was. She kept seeing the "crossover" signs on the the 4-lane with an arrow indicatiing where you can cross over to the opposing lanes. Good stuff.
Good story. I actually knew what FTA meant, I was asking which of the new channels added to the Platinum tier was a free to air channel. I was answered above. I guess the fashion channel is free to air.
Talk about eating crow! I was mocking the 2 of you (albeit all in good fun), and it turns out I was the one who was misunderstanding the question. I guess I'll just shut up now.
They must not like us in Oklahoma Kenny! Had to do the ol chat too. They sent the rehit and and now that ugly 29 car is making a lap trying to qualify on SPEED HD
There has got to be a few people out there who talk about something they know about... but evidently not.
I just checked and the programming on Fashion TV HD is full HD the whole time (not a surprise since the channel is available in Europe for months and is very recent programming), and the programs are different from the Fashion TV SD FTA channel (So in that respect it is like the old version of FoodTV HD.)
PS Dish Latino Max HD Ultimate has all five channels. Speed HD has NASCAR in full HD. Mav TV HD has zoomed SD in 16x9. FX HD and Logo HD have so far been all SD, but both are not stretched.
PPS Fashion TV HD originates as 25 fps, so I wonder what E* is doing to adjust it to 30 fps... some of the motion has a judder effect...
You do realize that almost everyone who likes "Ronald Jeremy" is interested in the LOGO channel ?
Had to request a "hit" from DN to get my two 722's seeing the new HD channels...but everything is fine now!
So you are saying all my friends are gay? That is my real name.You do realize that almost everyone who likes "Ronald Jeremy" is interested in the LOGO channel ?
Which means that eventually the HD packs will rise to be the same price as the "Classic + HD" packages -- not that the prices will go down. It takes more bandwidth to transmit HD.... The HD packages were just cheaper because they contained fewer channels than the "Classic" packs, and that gap in channels gets a little smaller every few weeks.
It's a free preview this month. Check out channel 102.
Yes, but at least FTV HD is HD unlike BET-J. MAVHD appears to be 24/7 HD as well!
Oh yeah! :up
Logo appears to be a waste of time like BET-J so far.
Huh? Where the hell did you get the idea that I was accusing FTV HD of being SD?
According to reliable sources, FTV HD is also available FTA. So it's pretty ironic that Dish put it in their highest-priced package. Doesn't anyone else think so?
So, I called a little while ago to see if I could get them to rehit my receiver, as I was not seeing Speed or FX yet. The lady I spoke with didn't understand my request and asked what I was seeing on the HD versions of the channels above. After convincing her that I couldn't see them yet, she went off for about 5 minutes and came back and told me I couldn't get those channels in HD. When I asked why, she said it was because I had America's Top 250 with HD Gold, and that I would have to downgrade to HD Silver to get them. After I told her that HD Gold includes everything in HD Silver plus some more, she seemed really confused, so that was the end of that conversation. Hopefully mine will get updated tonight, we shall see.
