Some Sirius Channels MIA?

[pbrown]

Flipping through the Sirius channels on Dish tonight (10pm PST, 11/27/2004), I noticed that 6007 and 6009 are not showing up in my guide anymore and I can't tune to them. I listen to 6009 all the time, and I know it was there as recently as last wednesday. Anyone else notice any missing Sirius channels, or have any guess as to why these ones are gone? I hope they come back. Are Sirius 7 and 9 gone the regular Sirius linup? Any help, thanks in advance.

Does anybody know if the Eminem channel is offered yet??

No, it's not on dish, maybe they forgot, or something else is going on...

According to dishchannelchart.com....Ch. 6045 or Shady 45 will be coming soon. Not sure why they haven't added it yet...

Well, those channels are back on Saturday, weird. I wonder if it was a 921 thing, or a dish thing, or what. No harm done.

Shady45 is being uplinked but for some reason is not turned on yet for subscribers. I recently asked Dish Network why it was not turned on and they refused to answer.

I wonder if it is because it is a "premium" channel, much like the talk channels and Howard Stern will be. May be part of the Eminem contract that it can't be redistributed.

Gotta love flipping through Sirius and hitting a Backstreet Boys song. It's wonderful to have a reason to continue flipping the channel.

According to Howard Stern's website, his channel will not be a premium channel just part of the normal package. I think this is also the case with Shade 45.

Found this on the Sirius website:

"Shade 45 will feature a full lineup of on-air hosts and mixers, including Eminem's DJ, Green Lantern. The channel will be available to all SIRIUS subscribers at no extra charge over the standard monthly fee of $12.95."

Aren't the regular talk channels also available at no extra charge above the 12.95/month fee?

Sorry, I guess what I meant was that it was special content created by a "premium" talent. None of the channels on Sirius cost more then the base subscription price.

According to those I have spoken to at SIRIUS ALL music channels should be on Dish, they have no idea why they are not on.

I've had issues with my 921 omitting subscribed channels and adding hidden/premium channels intermittently. Usually a power button reset or card removal and re-insert fixes everything and then it is business as usual for 30-60 days again.
