NOTE THIS IS ONLY A RUMOR - IT HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED
I have received word from one of my contacts that tonight on the Charlie Chat it will be announced that Discovery Theater HD will be carried on Dish Network, although it appears the channel will not be up at launch, instead they are looking at a July 1st timeframe
This contact tells me that Discovry HD will REPLACE the HD PPV Channel.
He also mentioned that the idea to drop the HD PPV channel was due to the fact of Copyright concerns that Dish Network has been unable to obtain new films to air on it in months. (They have been airing the Snoop Doggy Dog movie for over 2 months now) so this logic sound correct to me.
It also make sense to do this because both 148 and 61.5 get the HD PPV Channel and all the HD equipment is already in place. Its basicly a job of changing HD player out with a satellite reciever to pick up the Discovery HD signal.
Again this is NOT CONFIRMED, however if it is true remember
