SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Activity Discussion - Week Ending 10/27/2007

Yeah Premium Channels are really not that good they show movies that been out for years. Its cheaper to rent and see the new releases that come out every Tuesday of the month way before they ever get to Premium Channels.

What are the HDALT channels specifically?

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Probably for NBA TV, when games are blacked out in your local area.

BTW since Dish removed another HD PPV Channel does thier 75 channel count go down?

Would we be surprised if the count somehow goes UP by one?

Charlie will fill in the loss with the test channel (5710) keeping that number at 75.

Technically it will... they added the two NBATV's in the spot of the one PPV.

 

[pdxsam]

and they can always count all those HDALT'S also.

Aren't they just mirrors of each other though? There's no overlapping games on the NBA TV schedule and only 3 doubleheader dates.

Yes, they are just mirrors.

The free previews are available now.

NBAHD, NHLHD and HDALT channels all on TP 30 at 61.5????????? WTF???? They can only get 5-6 channels which mean 5-6 games a night on one transponder? Now even LESS HD GAMES BETWEEN ALL THREE???????????????????????

 

[kstuart]

What options could Dish give me since I cannot now capture 129 Tp 6(TBS HD) & 22 (1/2 of Voom)??? Bigger Dish?? Have a Dish 500 aimed at 129.

Granted not a REAL loss, but it is principal of thing. Channels subscribed to & cannot RECEIVE due to crappy sat TP.

If you get the right Tech Support Rep, you might get a free dish upgrade for 129. In any event, for Idaho, you need at least a 24-inch dish and preferrably a 30-inch dish for 129.

I still want to know what package is the NBA channel in? America's Everything pack?

I have it in the 5.99 RSN package. Looks like it's either my package or the All Everything pack.

Thanks.

 

[BFG]

the nba tv hd games were available to hd subs last year so hopefully it will continue that way, to require the sports pack would be silly. they gave us nhl hd, but then again they also didn't put the sd channel in a package

I get 129 with a Dish 500 (but I am in southeastern Idaho - oops, I mean Denver... I am in Denver...).

 

[Bountykiller]

Man, I am almost tired of disappointing uplinks from Dish now... I dont think they care about staying the HD leader at all ;0 Boo charlie boo.... ;0

Why you want more HD Channels with no HD content?

 

[ehren]

I think MOJO would be a good addition.
