Tennis Channel?

[athenaeum]

I know it's been uplinked for testing on channel #400. I called Dish (big mistake)... the CSR said she didn't have any knowledge about the Tennis Channel and that I 'should just watch ESPN2 on Channel #144'.

So, does anyone have more info as far as a possible launch date?

Thanks to anyone with info.

But welcome to SatelliteGuys!!!!!!!!

Tennis Channel

I know it's a niche channel with limited demand, however I eagerly await it. I hope it comes on soon.

I went to their website and it looks like a great addition if we do get it. They have great coverage of smaller tournaments that don't often get on TV.

Thanks! I've been lurking for months finally decided to join up.

 

[Mr Tony]

it is uplinked right now...so that might be a good sign

They might be working out the details of the agreement

Oooh, Tlaz, you're obviously new here. On the Satelliteguys forum, any channel YOU are interested in is a top priority in high demand. Any channel you are NOT interested in is a "waste of bandwidth" that "nobody watches".

If you stray from this posting format, you will be accused of being an employee of DISH and/or the channel you are discussing, a liar, an idiot, or all three.

Oh, and on behalf of the sensible minority...

Wow, where did that come from M Sparks? I disagree with your assessment, but to the two new memebers - TLaz and athenaeum - Welcome!!

 

[Mr Tony]

I think it was sarcasm (I hope)

I would assume cynical sarcasm . . . but bloody hilarious. Although, it has been a while since I have seen a good throw down on these forums as of late -- (although there are the people who are not please that all the sports channels are being added).

That said, with baseball season approaching, the "When will dish get YES" posts are coming . . . with the inevitable "never, and the Yankees suck" reply.

I'm actually excited about this channel though I could care less about most Sports channels. I'm NOT a giant Football fan and though I do like Basketball don't watch it much and can't. Now more unorthodox sports like Karate as well as events like the Kumite I'm interested in.

 

[athenaeum]

I'm excited too - I'm hoping they hurry and launch.
There's a lot of good events upcoming on this channel in the next few weeks.

 

[Roger]

Now we return to "Badminton Today"! zzzzzzzz
I had this on cable so you're not missing much.

 

[athenaeum]

Probably not, but at least for the events they cover it'd be better than nothing.

It wont launch till those events are over!! (much cheaper)

 

[athenaeum]

I hope you're wrong. lol

I hope Dish gets the Tennis Channel soon. I used to watch the Tennis Channel on Cband before it was encrypted. For now, I can find many of the Tennis Channel live feeds on mpeg2/dvb FTA.

 

[athenaeum]

Yay it's on!! wooooohoooooooo!!

lmao.
