Its on channel 542 - Looks like they took a PPV down to accomodate it. Kind of concerning since that means Dish is probably out of bandwith.

Not to nitpick, but can't we at least take the time to properly capitalize network call-signs in our thread titles?

I doubt Cnn would pass...

Or Tnt....

Or A&e

Or ...

You get my meaning...

Good point.

Still surprised E* couldn't get this one up by the first of the week.

Considered that it took DTV years to get their HD up, I'm willing to forgive Dish for being late by a few days.

More than likely an equipment ready to use situation.

I came home from work and my fiancee had the Yankee game on both of our HD TVs. I was griping in the bedroom about no HD then came into the living room and said, 'Why is this game widescreen? did you stretch it in here? That looks like HD!" I checked the Guide and sure enough, 139 HD!

Way to go, DISH! Thanks for listening to us!!

My thinking exactly. They already had a place tested and configured for an HD channel and proven reliable... so they just re-routed TBSHD to there so it could go up quicker. Otherwise they'd have had to test another location for a few days.

This almost has to be a rush reaction... which I suppose is both good and bad, depending on how you look at it.

I wonder if it's only on for the actual time of the playoff game and then will go blank until the next game? I don't see anything else in the Guide, do you?

At least we can see the gnats in HD crawling on Chamberlin's neck.

New guy here - but I've been reading the various topics on here for the past few months. The addition of TBS-HD is a great response by E* to D*

What I love best is the fact that it was done in an almost top secret manner - way to go! It makes me anticipate for tomorrow, and the next, and the next...

The guys on AVS are saying...

Quote:
Effective today, October 5, 2007, DISH Network launched TBS HD into
America's Top 100 with DishHD & higher on channel 9499*. HD customers with
an MPEG4 box will see TBS HD map down next to TBS SD on channel 139.

DISH Network Channel:
9499

Satellite:Satellite:
61.5/129

Packages:
AT100 (and above) with DishHD


* - TBS HD initially launched at a temporary position of channel 542. The
launch at channel 9499 will take place on 10/10/07.
