[Darkman]

Here we are.. - was waiting for this post :)

Oh no :(((((((( -------> "792 DOORD, Doordarshan India REMOVED FROM" .. 121 .. Damn! :(
:D

[chaddux]

8852 was changed from KTFG 16 to KBFG 50, thus the addition on 8853 of KTFG mentioned above. Still not available.

Does DISH have it uplinked as KBFG? The correct call sign is KBGF.

[Darkman]

It's a boo-boo above.. ("8852 was changed from KTFG 16 to KBFG 50, thus the addition on 8853 of KTFG.." = boo-boo)

The actual EPG names for those 2 now are:
8852 - KBGF
8853 - KTGF

... one of them .. on a line up higher there ("8853 KTGF ADDED TO Tp 18 on EchoStar 2 at 148w") - John mentioned one of them correctly though

Was someone thinking of me when they typed that ;)

Interesting. PBS is mirrored a bunch of places...

[Nick]

TBS Funny is now on channel 139 as well as channel 230I was waiting for this with great anticipation. I now get TBS on three channels - I feel so blessed. :rolleyes:

[JohnH]

You must have blinked when you copied it. :D

[Darkman]

ch 230 TBS's EPG info says though: "Moving to Channel 139 Aug 10"

It will be gone around or about that date i guess ;)

[Darkman]

You must have blinked when you copied it. :D
No .. cuz this gave you out: "Last edited by JohnH : Today at 05:33 PM. Reason: Fingers got twisted" :D

BTW - this is still wrong there: "thus the addition on 8853 of KTFG mentioned above" (..should be "...8853 of KTGF...") ;)

[Darkman]

8852 was changed from KTGF 16 to KBGF 50, thus the addition on 8853 of KTGF mentioned above.
There.. it's all fixed now.. lol - You even fixed the one in "from KTGF 16" (vs. "from KTFG 16" that was earlier on) - that was changed to KBGF 50 now anyhow.. and therefore not so important any longer :)

[Darkman]

Moderators.. - time to Stick UP this New "Uplink Activity" thread maybe.. or what? ;)

(instead of the older Uplink Activity one....)

[ehren]

what's with all the PBS channels? Are they all the same?

[JohnH]

Mirrors of PBSXD for those markets with no PBS apparently.

Great. Making room for more shopping channels, I guess.

[ehren]

I'm suprised WGN on 239 isn't getting moved!

[JohnH]

There does not appear to be a sister network to place it adjacent to.

[nuts4scuba]

I'm suprised WGN on 239 isn't getting moved!

Isn't WGN a WB network station? I think it fits better with the other Supers.

[JohnH]

Yeah, but it has been sanitized. No WB Network current shows there.

[nuts4scuba]

Ok. I haven't watched it in quite awhile. :D

HMM another shopping channel on 230?

[Adam Richey]

WGN 9 is Chicago's WB network, but the WGN Superstation does have a slightly different program schedule. I agree that as of right now, it should be kept with the other superstations though.

[James Long]

HMM another shopping channel on 230?They still have 220 available (from when the Travel Channel was there). Probably more of a 'lets put the Turners together and make them happy' move.

I'd like to see WGN moved as well. It seems out of place between the shopping channels and religious channels. (Without distants and supers. Not everyone takes those.)

Most recent changes to the Dish Channel List page:

7/21/05

The EPG names on the three "new"/replacement channels on Sky Angel have finally been changed and the EPG data is now available to subscribe. The channels have been available for over a month. In one case several months.

Channel 9713 was listed as DAY (Daystar). It is now HMLK (Hallmark Channel)

Channel 9718 was listed as INSP (Inspiration Network). It is now listed as FNC (Fox News Channel)

Channel 9730 was listed as GMT (Gospel Music TV). It is now listed as HMC (Hallmark Movie Channel)

I think Dish should mirror WGN Superstation so people like me who don't have supers can still see it in lower channels instead of going through all the shopping networks just for that channel

Does the Travel Channel seem in a weird spot to anyone else on 215?

Or...you could just create a favorites list WITHOUT the shopping channels. Then, you wouldn't have to scroll through any of them. Or...you could just manually type in the channel number (it really won't stress you out that much to press three different buttons) and, wham, you magically don't have to scroll through the shopping channels. Those would be the smart things to do and then you wouldn't have to start whining and complaining. It really irritates me when people start complaining to/about DISH when solutions are available but they are just too lazy to do anything about it on their own.

[James Long]

Shopping channels locked and hidden on my receivers. But I would like to put WGN down with the other channels.

JL

[TNGTony]

Ditto. I'd like to see WGN along with the rest of the general entertainment channels. I would REALLY love to see The Travel Channel moved next to the other discovery channels in the 190s, Like 196.

See ya

It's odd that they moved it once from 220 to 215. That would have been an excellent time to place it with the Discovery group instead of moving it again.

[James Long]

It's odd that they moved it once from 220 to 215. That would have been an excellent time to place it with the Discovery group instead of moving it again.They probably prefer their placement near The Weather Channel and all the news channels. There are a couple more channels that I'd move if I were the master of channel numbering - SpikeTV is one more.

127 TXINF was turned on for a select group.

Obviously.. and logically so... Oxygen was shut off to TXINF's EPG Info containing Oxygen's programming guide (as Tax Info's EPG should contain now the appropriate tax information for that select group / location to which that INFO applies)
