It's Hallmark Movie Channel for those who lost a Fisher Communications local channel in SD.

 

[Smith P.]

If you wondering why so many of them (7) and all of them have same mapdown (63), then I'll tell you - for seven different DMAs only.

 

[Juan]

And people say Charlie isn't generous............

 

[HDRoberts]

I guess those that already had AT250 don't get anything.

Not that I care. I don't live in any of those DMAs.

they get HMC mapped to channel 63

And if they are slightly off in sync, you can tune a different receiver to each channel and have simulated surround sound.

I wonder how much HMC charges for retrans into those markets?

Probably less than the 25 cents that Dish wants to pay the local station.

 

[jpmarto]

Aw, Charlie. You shouldn't have! Even though it's almost Christmas Eve. I mean, I pay for HMC in HD, so it was so thoughtful of you to replace my KOMO ABC with HMC in SD. Whatta guy! :up

(Actually, I'll deny I wrote this, but I agree with Charlie not caving to Fisher)

 

[Stargazer]

I also bet that HMC is less than what they pay for the networks, especially since a lot of customers probably already have the package it is in anyhow, in which they get NOTHING. Those customers should get a free movie channel out of a movie package.

There is no such thing as 1 channel out of a movie package. It is all or nothing as far as cost goes. Seems that would be a bit much.
