Scared to Ask - Fox Business Network

[eacalhoun]

At the risk of having padlocks being thrown my way (ducking my head as I am typing this), I am simply CURIOUS! Is Fox Business Network (FXB) currently unavailable? I have read that the new Fox-Dish agreement provides that FXB will be available in AT120 - previously only in AT200-up. While I am an AT120 sub, it's interesting that I don't even see FXB in the guide - it appears to be completely gone. So are you AT200 and up subs seeing FXB or not?

Thanks - but still ducking for flying padlocks

It is currently available, and the transition to the 120 may take place at a later date, as it was part of the new contract. A lot of times the channels do not change packages immediately, as those who enjoyed some of the Scripps Networks will tell you. I am not sure about the current situation with the 120, as I have AEP, but will just say again, it is available to watch through Dish currently.

I hate that Bob Barker...er...um...I mean padlocks!

They have a deal, but I'd be surprised if the final contract is actually completed and signed. I wouldn't expect any changes until the ink is dry.

Is FXB still on channel 206?

Is FXB still on channel 206?

YES. For AT 200 as of now. Watching it now...not really watching it...just verifying it's on.

How many calls and emails will it take to get them to expedite moving FBN to the 120 Package?

Doesn't work that way.

In the words of the commercial... "Thats not how it works. Thats not how any of this works"

Zero. It'll get moved when the contract is signed and fully in force.

Give it 90 to 180 days

They call themselves FBN on their website. Are they FXB in the guide or something?

Yes, I'm pretty sure it's FXB in the guide - at least it is on my 722k.

I guess it would just be too easy for Dish to just use the existing acronym.

 

[ChadT41]

I have it listed as FOXB in my guide. Thats the Hoppers.
