The majority of the report is all for the continued campaign of the consolidation of locals and internationals.

KUQI looks like an upcoming Fox station for the Corpus Christi, TX area. More information here : KUQI - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MAVHD? Hmm.... It isn't a new channel. It's a mirror of the MPEG2 HD PPV/Event channel on 110.

Maybe Maverick's HD? As in Dallas Mavericks?

Dunno? Think they chalked up a deal with Mark?

The HD Leader hard at work again

Pathetic. Boo. Hiss.

(Not you, Dig, great work as always )

 

[dfergie]

They did show Mav's games in the past to Dallas Area folks if I am not mistaken...

They made this report easy. No hand modifications necessary, just a few clicks.

 

[dangue]

Sad, but not unexpected. The lack of additional HD is getting glaring.

 

[MisterLas]

I was really hoping for something in the HD area.... Thx to Digi (and this is not aimed at you), but I hate reading these damn reports now... lol

As a matter of fact they're adding another state to each transponder: from now on it'll be one of "Unavailable", "Available" and "Eat @&#".

And we will be charging you more in February for getting NOTHING & liking it.

I thought it would be "Unavailable", "Available" and "Soon".

just the proper name for hdev1

they still haven't got rid of nbahd on 9466 though

 

[jansan]

Dish counts that as national HD channel

. Seriously, Dish churn rate this quarter should be interesting.

I dont know. I actually just tried to switch. The stickler was Center Ice. I wanted it prorated as there are only about 30 games left. They refused to do so, so I would have to pay the full $160 as if it were september. I already accepted losing $160 on a termination fee, losing the money I already put into center ice (E*), and paying $99 for their receiever. I can justify any more. I think it's crazy they didnt try to prorate the package and would rather not gain a customer.

Dish may still be able to keep me if at some point they improve.

CI is going to be offering a half season package after the all-star break...

There is a channel called MavTV. They are planning to launch an HD version.

I thought that was it. When I had ITVN (for Setanta) they had MavTV.

Well, there it is, Charlie yet again delivers on his promises.
