9/13/07
* Big Ten Network HD and its alternates are now available to subscribers on channel 9500-9504. They are also mapped down to the 439-443 channel range with the SD counterparts.
9/12/07
* Dish On Demand HD Pay Per View channels 531,534, 535, 536, 537, 540, 541 and 542 became available to subscribers today.
* Big10 HD and Big 10 Alternate HD channels were uplinked to channels 9500-9504 at 61.5° and 129°. Not yet available.
* A new SHOPPING CHANNEL! Yippy! SLTV (presumably Shop Latino TV) is now uplinked but not available on channel 220 tp 3 at 110°. This channel is also mirrored on 887 in the Dish Latino range.
* QVC has been removed from channel 226. QVC was mirrored to channel 137 some time ago. This is BAAAAD news. No longer are the shopping channels going to be grouped in the shopping mall where we can easily ignore the surfing range. QVC's new "real" home is now channel 137.
* Fox Sports Ohio HD is now uplinked but not available on channel 375 tp 8 at 129°. This is an event-only channel.
* MPEG2 HD test channel DRMT7 has been uplinked but not available to subscribers on channel 5903 on tp 7 at 110°
* A new "mystery channel" has been added. TEMP has been uplinked to channel 408 tp 19 at 110° but it is not available yet. Some are reporting it is the Mavericks' new channel. No confirmation.
* Alter TV, a Greek channel that was on 664 at 61.5°, 118.7° and 148° has been removed from the system.
* KOMU DT 8.3 CW in Columbia, MO is now available to local subscribers on channel 7454.
* Lifetime Movie Network, G4 and Encore Westerns which were on 119° swapped places with TVGN, Daystar and HRTV which were at 110°. This happened a couple of weeks ago too but was switched back the next day presumably due to angry calls. Well, here we go again. :)

9/10/07
* A&E HD, History Channel HD and NFL Network HD are off the air due to a fire at a signal distribution facility (Ascent Media Group). These channels are off the air for EVERY ONE (Dish, DirecTV, cable, Fios...everyone). There is no estimate on when service will be restored.
* For those that have been reading this blog of changes know that this is the time you year you may see something like WHO DEY!!!!!! on the changes for no apparent reason. But there you go. Go Bengals! Lousy offence nearly loses the game, killer defense wins the game!
