Are you sure you have the moving direction correct? Really does not look that way if you read my guide.

Seems odd to break up the platinum pack by putting some of the channels in the 200's range and the rest in the upper 300's range.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Fixed

 

[MattG@DISH]

Scott's information is correct. Goes into effect 7/27/11 as he mentioned so it shouldn't be effecting the guide yet

*Edit* DOH! I noticed what you meant

Yup!

I wish to officially thank Dish for ending the needless additional Events in my already saturated number of events for my timers and wearing out my fingers when I had to cancel events X2 while keeping the Dish Pass timers.

Anyone know why WOAY in the Bluefield, WV DMA has been off air?

 

[ronfelder]

I'v been geting these channels in both locations for quite awhile now. Now it'll be shown only once.

Me too, but I picked the wrong ones in my favorites list. Drat.

 

[Teehar]

Glad they removed the duplicates in the 200's personally.

 

[Jim S.]

I don't see the logic. Epix3 is now nowhere near Epix1 and Epix2.

 

[jansan]

Agree. Maybe they will move Epix 3 to 382 in the future to keep the channels in sync.

 

[ronfelder]

Will Expix 3 ever go HD?

 

[Bobby]

It might when EPIX3 itself goes HD. EPIX has never had their third channel available in anything but SD......

Why were they moved out of the 300s anyway.

 

[The Fat Man]

I was hoping that they would be moved to the late 350s (after Starz) or in the 330s (after Flix), that way we'd have all the movie channels together. I liked having them in the 290s. I locked out the 299 Reelz (when it was also on 289) and had them just before my premiums. Guess i'll have to push 3-7-8 on my remote. They take all the fun out of being lazy.

When we still subbed to Dish Platinum I did have the 29x range in all of our favorites list. What was upsetting was that HDNet Movies was out of the mix and all the way on 383 without a 29x channel like the rest of the Dish Platinum movie channels. I remember when IndiePlex and RetroPlex were on different channels as well.

 

[reddice]

They should have left Reelz on 289 and the Epix channels on 295 and took MGM off the 290's put HDNET movies there since MGM interrupts their movies.

Doesn't MGM show movies?
