wasn't it Dish paying the same $$$ as DirecTV yet not getting an ownership stake on MLBTV?

Because they are on E8 at 77W. It has limited spots that point in the wrong places as it was designed for 110. Lots of local HD going to 77, none on spots, apparently. Much of what is going to 77 is not covered by E12 spots at 61.5.
Quetzsat-1, its eventual replacement, will probably have spots.
Perhaps. Remember what they did with Sci-FI and USA for us in AK and HI? We can see the transponder just fine but wouldn't authorize them for our package. They did finally get them to us on spot beams, but the original channels still show up in red in the guide.
It is the World Wrestling Entertainment On Demand, also their are rumors going around that the World Wrestling Entertainment will be a full time HD channel, just like the NFL NBA etc.
Meh, neither would appeal to my family; BUT a World Wildlife Wrestling Federation... now THAT would be interesting
I noticed that myself. These HD channels in the 9000 are so radom, I don't see how anyone would be able to tell what channels they might be.. The HD in the 9000 are a complete mess as far as order goes.
Well I for one would be excited if we get a WWE On Demand HD channel. My wife would never see me.....LOL
It really sucks having near 20/20 vision, I just see so much crap/compression/macroblocking it drives me nuts.
When they went to 7 my FSN-Wisconsin HD and Comcast Sports Chicago HD looked more compressed, you could literally see the grass blur completely and then come back into focus during MLB baseball games this past 2008 season!!!!
In a earlier post, you didn't even know there were 7 to a transponder..Now you know when it happened? You're such a joke...
If and only if you have a 61.5 wing dish. Which as I found out is not the standard installation for omaha. Sure makes sense to me.
I've got the 61.5 dish installed. Apparently was the very first my installer had done. I'm tempted to unplug 129 because the signal strength on 61.5 is as least double.
If the launch one week from now works out well, then the signal strength at 129 will be very much increased in 4-6 weeks.
Those HD channels are going to be available because they are in Conus Beam so we have to wait what is on it.
We have to wait until JohnH, James Long or TNG TONY or somebody reports what channel is on!
I for one am not getting my hopes up. My guess is still that they are putting up some RSNs 24-7, Probably the Comcast ones, since VS and Golf are both Comcast channels.
I wouldn't be surprised at ESPN-U HD, but that's about it (aside from locals, of course).
I can see Charlie trumpeting the Ciel-2 launch on the chat Monday: you know, "we've got a new sat going up tomorrow and if the launch is successful we'll have additional capacity for national HD in 2009". That's the big announcement. I'm sure as well he'll make a BIG deal out of Golf/VS-HD. See: TWO new HD channels!
