SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Activity Discussion - Week Ending 11/03/2007

Yup which Dish said they were not going to carry.

It almost seems like they have no business plan over there, everything is done by last moment planning.

That's what makes them interesting to watch.

Yep...........I thought E * wasnt going to carry the SD version of NHL network.......what SD package is required to see it ? ( AT100 or a higher level)

I'm sure it had everything at all to do with SD only Center Ice subs being completely blacked out of NHL Network games.

Are you guys sure that 542 is the NHL Network, or could it be another NHL Center Ice channel? If it were NHL Network, why don't they just map it to 403 and/or 559?

 

[gjh3260]

Another question........in order to get the SD version of NHL network do you need to subscribe to Center Ice ?

My son has E* and only subscribes to AT100 and doesnt get Center Ice so I was wondering if he would get the SD version of NHL Network ???

The EPG says 542 is NHL Center Ice (as is 9542).

 

[digiblur]

Correct, and it looks like the channel entry is pointing to the same slates as the other NHL channels.

I've said it before guys, if you really want to see what's going on at E* there's no need to guess, just check the live webcam of their programming department:

All kidding aside, thanks for the report Digi and I like the new mapdown feature.

Here's hoping we see some more HD uplinked next week.

Still has plenty of work to get it right the way I want it though.

 

[gjh3260]

thanks cosmo.....I eliminated the possibility right away that it could be NESN HD

 

[Madtown HD Junkie]

how about turning off some PPV and adding national HD? why would they not do this?

 

[BFG]

dish has neglected to remove 9466, get with it

 

[mikesd]

I am beginning to feel like one of the toys on Misfit Island, only instead of being disappointed another year its disappointed another Wednesday. Maybe Santa Charlie will hear about us one of these days and rescue us with a little more HD.

They should rename 9465 as the MAVS.

 

[BFG]

They should rename 9465 as the MAVS.

yeah that too, and put it back to local mode like it used to be

 

[mule401]

So are we going to get the sd version of the NHL Network or not.Thank you.

 

[BFG]
