thanks iceberg for all the information and responses to my posts.
i was happy to notice that when i turned the tv on this morning and was flipping through and noticed that the music channel was on
I thought maybe they would have more than 1. But then again dish only has one from them...they have 4 others but they are the Sirius channels changing formats
Actually, DISH has 8 FREE holiday channels up now - & NONE of them are Sirius/XM's...they are either the CD channels or Music (mono) channels.
And EVERYONE gets all of them, regardless of your prog pkg - I know because I get them all & I ONLY have locals/supers.
