Drat!

 

[TNGTony]

Doh!

 

[Gremraf]

That sucks

 

[DBS Commando]

Someone should edit the title so know one gets their hopes up. . .

There is no way to get Disney East, Toon Disney, ABC Family and ESPN News out of 2 changes and Bravo is only 1.

Where did this "they can't make two providers' channels available at the same time" myth come from ??

 

[JohnH]

The myth must come from you as you are the first one to mention it.

Yeah , I know, but Scott was hearing about/talking about two in particular for yesterday/this week (an NBCU one and an ABC one), even though he talked about the possibility of 6 or so.

 

[Poke]

Well lets hope we see something by tomorrow..

 

[Stacy A]

Oh... but they added "a lot" of HD yesterday"!

Is there any reason why channel 812 MHC always goes in/out of free mode?

I've always wondered why it does that..

I don't pay for the channel, but yet I notice it popping in/out of my guide every now and then...

 

[Jim S.]

I don't see 812 on my receiver, not even in red, even though it's listed as a preview on Dish Network Channel Chart (Unofficial), but I do see channel 782 IQRAA in the clear.

I never look at the All Channel list anymore since I figure I'll see any changes that I'd want to check out here in the uplink reports. Maybe I should start doing that.

But if they're going to start unscrambling random channels, it would be nice if they would be ones I wanted to see

 

[Jim S.]

In addition to 782, I see I'm also getting channel 903 AAGTV now.

 

[JohnH]

Sounds like you have 61.5, but not 118.7

BTW: They are not "unscrambling" them, just authorizing a free preview.

 

[Jim S.]

True, I have 61.5 and not 118.7.

Do they do this often? I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've heard of previews for the international channels, at least for those of us without any international package whatsoever.

It would be nice if they'd do it with channels in a language I even vaguely understand, or at least channels that play music because I can enjoy that in any language.
