MORE analog C-band channels going to digital

[dishrich]

For you folks that still have BUD's, 5 more analog feeds are biting the dust: (in phases)

1 - Nick West
2 - CMT East (NO more analog CMT at all after this)
3 - TNN East & MTV West
4 - TNN West (NO more analog TNN at all after this)

This was from a full-page ad in Cableworld this week from Viacom Networks, but gave no dates as to when these phase-outs will complete. They are using DCII encoding, but does not saying anything about authorizing residential 4DTV units for these services.

You didn't mention the newly added analog c-band channel, something sports related.

National Programming Service is offering a deal where you subscribe Showtime for a year and you can buy a 4dtv sidecar for $49. I'm considering the offer. I could run showtime on channel 3 to all our tv's. Right now we have the ABC east feed out on ch. 3.

Any Christmas deals on a dvb receiver?????

lee635, wonder where that clasic sports channel is located? The barker on T4 - C9 is gone.

Golden Sports is "reorganizing" according to their interview on Dana Pretzer's show. Meaning that they actually woke to realize that not enough people will pay $6/month to make this a profitable service.
