Thanks, I see it on 292 as well. Don't like the location, but lets see what happens, after the freebie promo's are over, for its final location.

I didn't see EPIX3 yesterday. Is the sound better? The voice track on EPIX 1 & 2 are low. I'm almost deaf in my right ear.. Hopefully they'll fix it someday, because they have great movies.

292 EPIX3 119° TP 11 SD - AVAILABLE
292 EPIX3 72.7° TP 22 SD MPEG4 - AVAILABLE

Check your channel locks. It is possible that channel 292 got locked out when it was other content. (I've done that.)

Funny, it was not there when I looked before.

I agree, if it's not in hd I won't even put it in the guide. There's no reason
not to have it hd.

I believe it is only being provided in SD by the programmer and not a decision by Dish to have it only in SD.

Lots of SD recievers out there. They have to through all those 5XX and 6XX users a bone every so often.

Hmm. I still don't see it. My eyes must be bad along with my right ear. I'll do a check switch tonight. :lol:

I just noticed on Dish's website that it is also being offered ala-cart for $7 a month.

That's a shame. Maybe it's an EPIX promo for SD customers.

At present it appears to be a new channel for the AT250 package only. I'm seeing it just fine. Try a "soft" reset on the receiver; it has cleared up channel issues for me in the past. Good luck!

It is a regular channel that has been placed (as the thread title states) in AT250 and (as noted in the thread) is available a la carte. The content is separate from EPIX1 and EPIX2 and is only available to DISH in SD.

While it is a SD channel I wish that it was available to anyone with EPIX, just for completeness. I don't believe it is worth $7 alone. The channel placement seems odd as well.

Well, OK. I guess another SD movie channel isn't bad.
But do we need one that mirrors two other movie channels?

If I had control of the money being spent on EPIX 3, I might choose Cinetic's Film Buff Video-On-Demand channel instead. Film Buff offers smaller movies, often better movies than the big-boxoffice fare found on so many of Dish's movie channels.

Film Buff is offered by many cable systems, so by
adding it to Dish's lineup, it might be a way to get
Indie Movie lovers to switch to Dish.

Just a thought... from someone who likes the smaller, independent films that don't get the widest distribution.

If I had control of the money being spent on EPIX 3,I would not be surprised to find out that nothing was being spent by DISH on EPIX3 ... it is just part of the overall deal with EPIX for carriage of EPIX content.

I agree+1.I would also like to see the several HD channels that are different and are not offered in MPEG2 SD, offered in MPEG2 SD. Because I still believe that there are still more Dishnetwork SD subscribers than Dishnetwork HD subscribers.;)
