CSPAN from tp 17, 212 CSPN2 from tp 8, 222 HSN from tp 16, 226 QVC from tp 16,
228 SHNBC from tp 16, and 299 REELZ from tp 4. (ANON)...just a guess, the LA

- After over two dozen e-mails about this, I have to add this note:
the channel streams for the four Los Angeles networks are still physically
uplinked to transponder 11 at 119°. They are FTA (Free to air) right now
according to some, encrypted according to others. These streams have no
channel number, are not in any of the Dish system tables or transponder
trickle guides, and, therefore, are not available to ANY legitimate Dish
Network receiver now. For this reason they are not listed on this chart.
For the possibility of seeing these channels an FTA MPEG2 receiver is needed.
- The Atlanta standard definition ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox network channels
(8300-8303) are expected to move from ConUS transponder 19 at 110° to a spot
beam transponder. (Scott G at Satelliteguys.us) NPS (National
Programming Service) offers Atlanta network channels on ConUS transponder 15°
at 119° to QUALIFYING Dish network subscribers. See the
DishNets page.

but they should not be available to anyone at this time. Added a "No

If you still receive one or both of these channels on a legitimate

http://www.nebraska.tv/news/local/4770141.html
- ...effective Friday, December 1, DISH subscribers will lose access to
all Pappas stations currently being carried on the DISH Network. After
protracted negotiations, Pappas and DISH have been unable to reach agreement
to extend their existing carriage arrangements beyond the expiration date of
November 30.
- Stations affected are the following:
- Channel 7191 KMEG TV 14 (CBS) Sioux
City IA
- Channel 7193 KPTH TV 44 (Fox) Sioux
City, IA
- Channel 7269 WCWG TV 20 (CW) Lexington (Greensboro, NC)

- Channel 9144 KXVO TV 15 (CW) Omaha
- Added note to each station and turned fields red to highlight stations
that will be cut off. This was done on the main page only.
- [rant]A reminder that there have been several other station groups that
have gone to the brink with Dish only to come to a last minute deal.
This info is being brought to you so you can call the local channel affected
and complain to THEM. The local channels (Pappas) is complaining that
their cut isn't big enough out of the $5.99 (or $5.00 if you
have a bundled package) Dish is charging you, the subscriber. It
has nothing to do with increasing their vieweship or serving you, the local
viewer. It has to do with greed by two multi-billion dollar companies
on how to best extract more cash from us and, in viewers just get caught in
the cross-fire. So much for local stations caring for their viewers.
A local station is supposed to serve the local area and IMHO should lose
their license for non-compliance if they refuse the opportunity to better
serve their local area by other means of distribution such as cable,
satellite, FiOS or whatever as long as it is within their TV market.[/rant]

streth of a couple of hours early this morning (ANON) The net change is
zero, but I just wanted to mention this to have it on record.
- Several transponder moves today. The big news is that transponders
23 and 24 were lit up today at 61.5°. Dish recently gained temporary
authority to use these transponders giving them effective control of 30 of the

channel 982. However, contrary to any rumors previously stated, ONLY
channel 982 is available (not channels 949 (which is the source of channel

Network receives regardless of subscription level. (Tony M, Iceberg and many
others)

available to local area subscribers on channels 8565-8568.

available to subscribers. This channel is a mirror of channel 949 which
is available to business customers year-round as "Muzak 2". Channel 982
is expected to become available tomorrow at between 2 and 4 pm eastern.
- According to some, this channel will only be available to AT180 and
higher subscribers this year. In previous years this channel has been
available on ALL subscribed Dish Network receivers. At the same time,
channel 947 which is also available year-round to business subscribers is
expected to become available to AT180 subscribers tomorrow.
- Sirius is getting into the Christmas spirit as well tomorrow.
These channels are currently available to AT120 and up subscribers.
- 6002 - Starlite will play Pop Christmas music
6062 - The Roadhouse will be your home for a "Country Christmas"

11/17/06

America.
11/16/06
- Channel 7778, which was a mirror of WNYW Fox New York for Puerto Rico
locals subscribers specifically for the MLB World Series was finally removed
today. (ANON)
- Not related to the chart, but it does affect Distant Network subscribers.
A bill was introduced in the Senate today that would allow Dish to provide
distant network channels to unserved areas where Dish does not have local
channels and the "missing" networks from TV markets that do not have all 4
major networks. Details seem to be all conjecture as the true text of
the bill has not been published yet. The other thing being missed by
most discussion areas is that, no matter if the Senate passes this bill, the
house has to pass an identical bill and the President of the US has to sign it
for it to become law. The House of Representatives is in recess until
the second week of December! So this bill cannot become law until AFTER
the court-mandated cut-off date. So unless Dish wins it's "stay of
execution", all Dish subscribers (yes, ALL ... even you...yes, you reading
this asking, "who me?") will lose all distant network (ABC, CBS, NBC and
Fox) channels. This includes ANY and ALL ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox channels
that are not part of your local TV market. See local TV market maps
HERE. This does NOT affect "super stations"
WWOR, WPIX, WSBK, KTLA and KWGN nor the CW distant channels. It also may
not affect CBS HD for areas where the local CBS station is owned by CBS.

range on Dish Network. These channels will not be included on this list
nor the excel file since they aren't "real" channels and the list is expected

any corrections to the e-mail link on that page. Thank you.

- After many queries about reinstating the Excel Spread-sheet version of the
Dish List, I have finally figured out a way to make one. The formatting
changes I made adding the names on the left column made it impossible for the
HTML code to easily be ported to Excel. After quite a bit of tinkering,
I think I have it figured out now. The Excel version is available
HERE. If you do not have Excel 2003, you can
download a viewer
HERE. Please let me know if there are any problems by using the
e-mail link above the main chart on this page. TNGTony

- DISH NETWORK LOST ITS LATEST APPEAL TO KEEP DISTANT NETWORK CHANNELS.
According to the latest and final court ruling (unless Dish Network
appeals to the US Supreme Court and the court accepts the case which is
extremely doubtful) Dish Network must stop providing distant network
channels to ALL subscribers as of December 1, 2006.. Yes, ALL
subscribers. Waivers, grandfathers or other ancestors, friend with the
King of the Universe will not matter. Yes, even you. :-) If
this ruling holds (and it should) NO ONE subscribing to Dish Network will be
allowed to keep distant network channels, period.
- This ruling has no effect on PBS, CW Network or Super Stations,
Univision, Azteca, Telefutura, Pax/"i", Telemundo, TBN or any other
broadcast network's agreements with Dish Network. It only affects ABC,
CBS, NBC and Fox.
- CBS HD should also be unaffected as this was a contract between CBS
and Dish. There is quite a bit of confusion on this particular
channel that only time will clear up.

National Geographic HD, Food HD, Starz HD and HGTV HD are now true MPEG-4.
Up until now they were MPEG-2 encoded with a flag to block these channels
from non-MPEG-4 receivers. There are some that are saying these
channels are still MPEG 2. To the average viewer, it makes no
difference.

channel at 148° and 61.5° on channel 652. Subs with AT60, DL Max and

channel automatically. All others interested in this channel must call
Dish and order the free (that means free..no charge as long as you
subscriber to SOME programming on Dish) public interest package.

- Channel 8624 (KWOG-Channel 51) has been sold to Fisher Communications
(they own KOMO channel 4), and it has been announced that the channel will
become a Univsion affiliate. There is no definite date for the change yet.
"to be Univsion" has been added in the description for that channel (Jeff)
- Many, many corrections to web links made thanks to Nick.
- Removed "WB" and "UPN" from most if not all the stations on the
chart. At the same time (with many thanks to Raymie) added most if not
all the My Network TV and CW designations to the stations along with other
affiliation changes that arose from the disappearance of two networks and the
emergence of two other networks.
- My Network TV officially starts operations TODAY. It airs two one
hour "TV Novels" (Telenovelas) or more correctly, night time soap operas with
new episodes every day.
- UPN and the WB officially cease to exist on 9/17 and the new CW officially
comes into existance on 9/18, however all the network designations have been
changed to prevent confusion (on my part) as to what station is affiliated
with what network since there were some pretty interesting swaps that were
hard to keep track of. For example, in Jackson MS, the Fox station
became My Network TV, the UPN station will become a CW affiliate and the WB
station is now a My Network TV affiliate.
- Changed the designation of My Network TV from MNTV to MyTV since their
logo stresses these letters. The reason this was not done earlier was to
prevent confusion with a Boston station that called itself "My TV" long before
the network was thought of. Fortunately, this issue was settled and that
local channel is now a My Network TV affiliate.
- WBMM 7858 a Daystar affiliate in Montgomery, AL is apparently becoming a
CW affiliate. This is the first Equity-owned station to go with the CW
network. (Raymie)
- Alt Channel 449 moved from tp 18 at 119° to tp 24 at 110° (ANON)
9/4/06
(Today's changes are a compilation of a backlog of activity since 8/15
Thanks to ANON for the information. There have been several other
information submissions in the previous two weeks. They will all be added
to this chart as time allows. Thanks! )

- Los Angeles ABC, CBS and NBC HD channels (6306-6308 and hidden mirrors

one passed (ANON)! :)

8/9/06
- Added "(ERT SAT)"to the names of channels 603 and 719 and changed the web
link to point to the proper version of the channel. ERT is the Greek
domestic channel. ERT SAT is the international version which is what is
available on dish. (Nick)
- Channels 652 and 704 which were listed as KBS or Korean Broadcasting
Service, and channel 9850 which was listed as KBS World have always been the
same channel in content. Channels 704 and 9850 are in reality one
channel on the same satellite with two channel numbers. Channel 652 is
the same channel on the "wing locations" at 61.5° and 148°. This is old
news to most readers, however there has been a lot of confusion about this so
it needs mentioning again. At the same time, the name of the channel and
web link was corrected to "KBS America" (Nick). According to that web
site, this is the channel that is actually on Dish.
- Added web links for Mubahay Channel, RPN USA, VIVA and NBN (Filipino
Networks) (Nick)
- Time for a new crop of free preview channels in the 281-290 range.

285 Fox Sports en Español, 286 The Sleuth Channel and 287 (Available to
subscribers with HD receivers ONLY) NFL HD. (ANON)
- There is a second Dandana TV channel now uplinked and available to
subscribers on channel 674. (ANON) It appears to be the "new" Danda is
part of a different package code. However it is identical to channel 672
which has been available for some time. Non-subscribers are not able to
see the channel in the EPG.
- WGTW has been removed from the system. (ANON) As reported on 8/2,
this Philadelphia channel has been removed in favor of the national TBN
channel.
- KMAS 24 Telemundo Steamboat Springs, CO (KMAS LP 63 Denver) has been
removed from tp 12 spot 30 channel 8209 at 110°. (ANON)
- WMUR is now available to New Hampshire residents that subscribe to local
channels in the Portland, ME and Burlington, VT TV markets. WMUR should
show up on channels 6233 or 6234 (depending on the market) and mapped to
channel 66. (ANON) Again these channel are now available to New
Hampshire residents ONLY. As a reminder WMUR on channel 9 and 8784
is available to the entire Boston TV market including the eastern half of MA
one county in VT.
8/2/06 (Thanks to ANON, Xandir, JM)
- Multi camera angle (or as they say in the EPG "Angels") channels for the
upcoming X games are now available on channels 473-477. Programming will
be available from 8/3-8-6 9-11pm Eastern. These channels are all on tp
24 at 110° (ANON)
- WBHQ TV 63 (WB Columbia, SC TV market) changed its call letters to WKTC.
The EPG listing has been changed on channel 7254 to reflect this change.
- As reported some time ago by Raymie, WDWB Detroit changed its call letters
to WMYD. Dish changed the EPG on channel 8034 to reflect this change.
- KTAZ Arizona Telemundo which used to be a Daystar station is back on Dish,
but this time on channel 8329 to fit in with Dish's channel numbering scheme
for locals and to put all the Spanish language stations together.
- KLWB Lafayette LA is now available to local subscribers on channel 8489
- Adult PPV channel 481 has been removed from tp 18 at 119°
- PPV channel 511 moved from tp 18 to 21 at 119°
- PPV channel 525 which was hidden from view has returned to subscribers'
EPG
- Food Network HD is uplinked to channel 9462 on tp 20 at 61.5° and 22 at
129°
- The Extended 9 day program guide has finally been moved from tp 22 at 110°
to tp 18 at 119°. (...and there was much rejoicing.
Yeeeeeyyyy)
- Channel 8166 WGTW in the Philly area is no longer showing programming on
Dish. Currently there are color bars and the EPG says "TBN is no longer
available on chnl 48 or 8166. Please go to channel 260 to watch TBN. If you
can't view chnl 260, call 1-800-333-DISH to upgrade."
- Channel 9950, the "Redirect" channel has been removed. Also removed
footnote 10a. This channel could never be tuned in directly by any
legitimate subscriber but whenever a local channels subscriber would tune to a
channel that they could not receive because the channel was on a "side slot",
the receiver would automatically tune to this "redirect" channel telling the
subscriber they could not receive the channel they tuned in to watch and
giving the subscriber instructions on how they could get free equipment to get
the channel. Since Dish no longer "splits" locals (except between 110°
and 119° which all subscribers must be able to receive to subscribe to local
channels) this channel is no longer necessary.
7/29/06
- The following changes are from the previous 4 days. Thank you to
all who sent information while I was away.
- KBS World DID NOT become part of the Free Public Interest Package
on 7/26 (Exhibit 1 why I rarely change the chart before thing actually
happen). According to several e-mails (JM, LD, CM, Dilbert, Quan, Kim)
the channel never appeared on the EPG. I have personally verified I
cannot receive this channel either with a legally subscribed receiver on 7/29.
The channel does not even show on the EPG at all. (TNGTony)
- South Asia World has been removed from channel 811 tp 18 at 121° and tp 14
at 119k. (ANON) 7/27
- WJPX-LP Fox 24 Aguadilla, PR is now uplinked to channel 7779 on tp 25 spot
49 at 110°. This channel is not yet available to subscribers. (ANON,
Cesar, Nelson, Maddu31) 7/26 The station became available to subscribers
at 4pm on 7/27
- The Baby First Channel's mirror on channel 288 which was a free preview a
few weeks ago was removed from tp 15 at 110° (ANON, Maddu31)
- American Desi has been removed from channel 812 at 119k. The channel
remains at 121° (ANON, Maddu31)
- KSBN (SAFE TV) Springdale, AR has been removed from channel 7502 at 110°.
(ANON, Maddu31) This channel was never available to subscribers. KSBN
Safe TV is available on channel 9711 via Sky Angel
Nationwide! 7/26
- KTAZ Phoenix is back up on the Dish satellite, but this time on
channel 8329 because it is now a Telemundo station. This channel is not
yet available to subscribers. (ANON, Maddu31, Raymie) 7/26
- KBS World moved from tp 2 to 17 at 119k (ANON, Maddu31) 7/26
- Looks like I jumped the gun on channel availability. Starz Comedy's
free preview on channel 286 ended on 7/26. At the same time Starz Kids
and Family's free preview channel became available on channel 287. (ANON,
Maddu31)
- Greek channels Antenna Music, Antenna Gold, Antenna Radio, Rythmos Radio
and Super Sport FM all became available to subscribers on channel 588, 589 and
911-913 respectively. (ANON, Maddu31). 7/26. At the same
time Dish restructured the packages for the total of 9 TV and radio channel in
Greek. The Greek Super Pack includes all the Greek channels. There
is also an Antenna package that includes all the Greek channels except for ERT,
Alter and Megacosmos. Antenna Plus 1 and Antenna + 2 packages allow you
to add one or two of those channels to the Antenna package. Or you can
just subscribe to ERT, Megacosmos or Alter a la carte. Antenna TV is no
longer available a la carte according to the Dish web site. Existing
customers may keep their current packages with no announced end date.
However if a customer cancels, changes package or for any reason "loses" the
old package (non-payment on account, accidental or not), the old package is
history.
- WIEU PBS in the Champaign TV market is now available to locals
subscribers on channel 7406 (ANON, Maddu31)

- WZMY TV independent TV station in the Boston TV market has announced
that it will become a My Network TV affiliate starting in September.
This plugs the largest hole left in this new network's coverage. (Raymie)
7/23/06
- As noted below, KPHZ has been removed from channel 8335 tp 5 spot 6 at
119°.
7/22/06
- Information about TV station switcheroo in Phoenix from Raymie:
- The reason KPHZ-58 in Phoenix is being removed tomorrow is that of a
major swap between 2 LPTVs and 2 full-power channels. Telemundo is moving to
channel 39, which was Daystar, with Daystar moving to the old Telemundo
channels, tomorrow. (Actually, it's not moving, the Daystar could be
"temporary" given the license was the Telemundo license in Holbrook,
Arizona, where the channel 11 is allocated. 48 and 58 are licensed to
Phoenix, and they will carry Daystar programming. Because Dish Network has a
national channel for Daystar on 263, Dish Network has no need to carry the
Daystar locals. So thus, the one Daystar on DN (KPHZ) is removed, because
the LPTV on 48 is not on DN. The whole reason Telemundo is moving to 39 is
to get it on more basic packages: Phoenix locals, Cox Cable channel 20 (from
expanded channel 56), and so forth. On the Qwest cable system, KDTP-CA is
already in the package (it was KDRX-CA, the Telemundo channel), as well as
KTAZ. Starting tomorrow, the swap will be carried out, and both stations
will be O&Os again.

- South AsiaWorld is currently off the air on Dish. There is a slate
stating that it is not currently available and it was beyond Dish Network's
control. Speculation is that this channel has signed an exclusive deal
with DirecTV but that is just a rumor.

- Test channel 45 added to channel 240 tp 13 at 119°. Not available to

- Test channel 47 added to channel 253 tp 17 at 119° with mirrors not in the
system on channel 8339 and 9393. Not available to subscribers. (ANON)
- These test channel are most probably nothing to get excited about, and,
for those with distant network channels, probably the harbingers of REALLY
bad news. These channels are most likely slates with information about
the removal of distant network channels. For those unaware, Dish
Network lost BIG a few months ago in an appeals court decision which sent
the case back to the lower court with a strong recommendation (order) to
force Dish to remove ALLLLLLLLL distant network channels from EVERYBODY no
matter what! Period. No exceptions. No not even your
waiver. No not even if you qualify under the SHVIA. No not even
if you have a signed letter from the president of the NAB saying its okay.
NO NOT FOR ANY REASON. No distant networks for ANYONE. YES EVEN
YOU! This is being done as a punitive measure since Dish has been
found to flagrantly disregard the rules and regulations of who qualifies for
distant network signal.
- Dish has been fighting this for a couple of months and trying to work a
deal with the NAB and the networks (which brought the suit in the first
place). The final determination is expected very soon.

7/14/06
- KPRC NBC in Houston has been mirrored to channel 8369 (tp 5s10 at 119°).
The channel is not yet available to any subscribers (ANON) I hear
alarm bells going off. In the past when Dish has done this, it is in
preparation to yank the channel (or having the channel yanked from them) from
the locals package due to retransmission consent issues with the station in
question. This is pure speculation and could be completely wrong.
- A channel by the name of "Channel 2" (CHNL2) has been uplinked to channel
9875 on tp 16 at 119° (ANON)
- Update: "Channel 2" is tied to all the stations listed below. (ANON)

range lost their number designation. They used to be listed as ALT 1,
ALT 2, ALT 3, etc. They are now all labeled "ALT" or SKDL in the EPG.
The SKDL channels are not available to subscribers, but these are the true
home of all the sports leagues packages. The games are mirrored from the

this chart does not list transponder info on the sports league channels.

- First, an apology for the slow updates the past few weeks. My
computer got a severe case of Alzheimer's and completely forgot litterally
EVERYTHING (The system lost the RAID 10 reference and all the data was
irretrievable). The cause is still a mystery. Fortunately I
had absolutely everything on the EKB backed up so no info was lost.
However many of the programs I use and some of the tools I've developed over
the years just vanished. For the past three weeks a very good friend has
brought my main computer back to life in his spare time. In the mean
time I have been using a laptop computer to do the updates and manually
backing everything up to the file server and an external drive each time.
It is very time consuming for even the simplest of changes, so I have been
pacing myself. :- )
I got my main PC back on Saturday and have been returning it back to the
way I had it to automate quite a bit of the operation. Besides that,
even though the laptop is a mighty computer and could do everything I need,
the big PC runs a 3 monitor system that makes editing the pages while
referencing info much easier. Anyway, to make a long, boring story
short, I should be able to make my updates in a much more timely fashion now.
Thanks to all who have sent in info.

has not ever been made available to subscribers but it was uplinked until last
week as WPRV.

Market (Chaddux) These channels have never been available to subscribers

- HMP 43 and HMP44 added to tp 6 at 129° on channels 9968 and 9969.

test. This is just a guess.

certain that the full chart is correct.

NOTE: I am receiving reports that these channel remain uplinked to tp
18 at 110° as well as the "new" location. The same holds true for many if not
all of the channels recently moved from the "SuperDish" locations. This
list essentially tracks the channels "in the system". These phantom
channels will not be listed in this chart for the following reasons:
1) They are not anywhere in the system tables. This is the information
from the satellite that tells Dish receivers where to get the channel when you
punch in a channel number.
2) The channels will be removed eventually or at least not returned to active
status.
3) This list is designed to show legitimate subscribers where channels are in
the sky and what is on tap.
A reminder that the info received is 99% from legitimate Dish Network
subscribers or FTA geeks with info readers who are reading the FTA system tables
on the Dish Network satellites and not hacking Dish for "free" channels.
Though I will not post this info, I am happy to receive any news and reports I
can get. Thank you all who have contributed!

Channels 7289 WVEC, 8250 KVUE, 8324 KASW, 8327 KTVK, 8371 KHOU, 8591
KMOV, 8612 KING, 8617 KONG, 8652 WCNC, 8672 KGW, 8803 KTFT, 8953 KMSB, 8955
KTTU, 9095 WHAS now all have a channel shadowing them in the wings. They
are all mirrors of CHNL3 on channel 9876 at 110°. To be clear, all the
channels are still there with their standard content. The listed mirrors
at tp 18 on 110° are waiting in the wings and may never be activated.
Belo stations KBEJ, WFAA, KENS, KMSB, KREM, KSKN, KTVB, WWL do not have a
channel waiting in the wings. Added a red mirror channel to all the
affected channels. 9058 WXGA is also listed but I am guessing that was a
mistake since it has nothing to do with any commercial stations. This
all could mean nothing or it could be signs of trouble between Belo and Dish.
The Belo TV home page is here:

1/31/06
- www.fairsatellite.com which had
several messages from Dish about the Lifetime dispute was changed recently to
say these simple words over a gray background: "Content forthcoming. Stay
tuned for more details!" Both Scott G at Satelliteguys.us and I (TNGTony)
have received information that Lifetime will be coming back tomorrow however
Lifetime Movie Network is gone for good. The info I received was in a
way which I cannot verify nor does the e-mailer have a track record I could
rely on. Scott G. also has his reasons to doubt his source. On the
other side of the coin, there is also info that if Dish cannot get a deal done
with Lifetime by tomorrow, Lifetime will be permanently replaced. Only
time will tell. (TNGTony)

- Hallmark Movie Channel (187) appears to be available in the Dish Family
Pack only. At this point a receiver with AEP cannot get this channel as

info as it comes in... The Family Pack becomes available from Dish tomorrow.
- UPDATE: According to several sources, the Hallmark Movie Channel
will ONLY be available on the Dish Family Package and not any of the AT
packages, not even AEP!!!! Anyone who is just as happy about this as I
am should write and call Dish and let them know just how happy you are about
this programming choice.

Read the Satelliteguys thread
HERE..
The following are quotes from open letters posted by Scott Greczkowski, owner
and administrator of www.satelliteguys,us
- EchoStar hereby offers to make Lifetime Network available on a stand alone
basis (a la carte) to all DISH Network customers who desire to subscribe. We
will pay the most recent rate proposed to us by Lifetime for the service. No
further negotiation or arguing over rates is necessary.
DISH Network stands ready to act immediately. If you accept, we can have the
service back on the air immediately.
Sincerely,
Eric Sahl
Senior Vice President of Programming
- You recently received my previous email providing an update on EchoStar’s
offer to provide Lifetime channel on an a la carte basis. To clarify, EchoStar
is willing to provide this channel to its customers who want to watch it at no
additional charge to the customer. The channel would then remain unavailable
to customers who don’t want it. We continue to ask, why should our customers
pay for a channel they don’t watch? We’re willing to pay Lifetime the most
recent rate proposed to us by Lifetime for the a la carte channel. We have not
yet received a response from Lifetime.
Once again, we have been unable to reach a reasonable rate for carriage of
Lifetime channel in DISH Network’s America’s Top 60 package. But we are
willing to provide the channel for those customers who request it for free on
a stand alone basis.
To try to put this in simple words: Dish will pay Lifetime exactly what
they ask per subscriber that calls dish and asks for Lifetime. The
subscriber would pay $0 extra over the standard AT60 and higher subscription.
The cost to the subscriber is a toll free phone call. Dish pays what
Lifetime wants per each subscriber per month and Lifetime gets what they asked
for.
Lifetime is not likely to accept this since they want Dish to pay for ALL
AT60 subscribers whether or not they watch the channel. (TNGTony)
- UPDATE 1/24/06: Lifetime's Response: "We stand by our
position that Lifetime and Lifetime Movie Network, the No. 1 and No. 2
women's networks, should be available to all DISH subscribers without an
extra cost. DISH has already announced they are increasing their rates by $2
to $3 per month on Feb. 1. Why should women pay even more for their favorite
programs?"
- Never mind that DIsh already said there would be $0 cost to the
subscribers who opt in to this plan. - Ed.
1/22/06
- Added Hyperlinks for the new VOOM website to all the Voom channels in the
9400 range.
- It was announced today that Lifetime has broken off talks with Dish.
One article states : In a statement, Echostar says: "Lifetime has made
it clear that further talks will not result in fair rates for our customers.
DISH Network will permanently replace the Lifetime Channel by month end, and
we are in meaningful discussions now with a number of interesting programmers
for a compelling replacement to Lifetime." The official Press
release can be found

- Wisdom TV channel 264 and 883 changed names to LIME. Dish Network
has not changed anything yet, but the channel now has a LIME.com logo.
- Channel 9878 is now showing ShopAtHome TV. Not available to
subscribers.
- Sports Alternate Channels 7 & 8 (452 and 453) moved from transponder 24 at
110° to transponder 18 and 10 at 119° respectively
1/10/06
- Though the listings are still at 119° tp 16, it appears that the
Hearst-owned/controlled local channels listed on the 1/4/06 changes were safe
from being dropped by Dish due to the Lifetime/LMN dispute since late
December. Juan at DBSTalk sent me
THIS LINK to a Broadcasting & Cable article stating that Dish signed a
retransmission consent deal with Hearst separately for an estimated at $11 a
year. Lifetime normally acts as the agent to the local channels since it
is controlled by Hearst. Discussions about this can be found at
DBSTalk and
Satelliteguys.
No changes made to the chart yet since the slate channels are still there. -

- Channel 467 "Order" was added to tp 27 at 110°. It is not

- Channels ATST1 - AST 4, Standard Definition channels in 8PSK and MPEG-4

- 12:30am - DISH NETWORK MAY BE PREPARING FOR ALL-OUT WAR OVER LIFETIME.
On Mid-afternoon 1/3/06 (ANON) reported a couple of dozen channel names on
the EPG showing up on transponder 16 at 119°. None of the channels are
"in the system" but they all show there. On further investigating, it
was discovered that all these channels had call letters and channel numbers
that relate to every single Hearst-owned TV station Dish carries. The
only reason for all these call letters and channel numbers on tp 16 at 119° is
to act as a "redirect" channel for the purposes of having a slate telling
subscribers why the local channels were removed. At this point NO LOCAL
CHANNELS HAVE BEEN REMOVED. This is speculation on my part. But I
see no other reason why all the Hearst stations are on this list on tp 16 at
119°. For those that are not aware, Hearst owns the controlling share of
Lifetime Networks. Dish has removed Lifetime (or Lifetime pulled the
channel from Dish depending on whose side you read) on New Year's eve at
the stroke of midnight Pacific over a contranct dispute. The following
stations are currently listed on tp 16 at 119° as well as their "regular"
locations:

- Fixed several minor oversights on the chart including the September 05

Cincinnati! (Anonymous)

NEW YEAR'S DAY 2006
- At 3am EST Dish yanked Lifetime (108). The Dish Network owned web
site
www.fairsatellite.com currently has
the following text:
- ATTENTION: LIFETIME HAS TAKEN YOUR CHANNELS AWAY!
Tell Lifetime to give back your channels. You may have tuned in today to
see the Lifetime channel. Unfortunately, DISH Network's contract with Lifetime
expired on December 31st and we no longer have the legal right to carry this
channel. I can assure you that at DISH Network we have made every effort to
renew our agreement and continue to carry this channel. However, Lifetime has
demanded a rate increase of over 70 percent which would result in unreasonable
rate increases for you, our customers. While we were surprised by Lifetime's
outrageous demand, the fact that we have had a good relationship with them for
10 years gives us hope that we can reach a fair agreement. Until such time as
we have a new contract with Lifetime, I hope you will enjoy this free preview
of The Women's Entertainment channel. I am very sorry for any inconvenience.
We appreciate your support and encourage your feedback. Thank you for being a
DISH Network customer. Sincerely, Charlie Ergen, CEO of DISH Network
- German TV ceased operations last night.
Deutsche
Welle was scheduled to replace this channel today. Updated the
listing for channel 725 today.
