Most recent changes to the Dish Channel List page 9/26/07

[Grasshopper]

• Showtime Free Preview was uplinked and is now available to all subscribers except Dish Family on channels 288-297. It includes the entire Show Unlimited package EXCEPT Showtime HD. These channels are mirrors of the showtime channels in the 300 block.
• A new channel! But nothing to get excited about. Yet another infomercial channel came live today on channel 104. The continuing invasion of shopping channels to the standard channel range now includes SRI (what ever it stands for).
• Comcast Sports Net West (Sacramento) in HD is now available to subscribers as a part-time channel on channel number 359 at 129°
• Altitude Sports HD is now available as a part time channel on 360 at 129°
  Comcast Sports Mid Atlantic HD is now available as a part time channel on 374 on both 129° and 61.5°
• Fox Sports Ohio (North, Central, Southeast) HD is now available on channel 375 at 129°
  SATA, ESPND, and REAL preview channels that have been hidden for some time on channels 284-286 have been removed.
• Several Phoenix channels were mirrored on channels 5992-5999 with an X added to the call letters. Dish has done this previously when they plan to move channels to another satellite location. The current guess is these channels are moving to 110° in the coming weeks.
• Discovery HD Theater changed its name to just "HD Theater" on September 1, 2007 to prevent confusion with Discovery HD which went on the air at the same time. Channels 5500 (AK & HI only) and 9421 changed EPG name from DSCHD to HDTHR.
• The Fishtank channel (HDTV3 channel 9443) has been removed from tp 30 at 61.5°. This was a demo channel for retailers which showed a fish tank during the off hours. I hate to admit it... but I'm going to miss that channel!
• Veria, moved from channel 9510 to 9575. It is still in the wrong channel area for a PI channel, but that is what it is! A health and Wellness channel.
