Sweet! Thank you! And yeah, Iceberg, I know. I have the Bronze HD package only with 3 months free of HBO and SHO, and the Cinemax auto-debit promotion. We're only interested in the movie channels so the only ones missing on 61.5 are HBO-E and SHO-E. Don't care about the rest. Thanks!

Going on a short vacation with friends to the Outer Banks of NC (ie clear view of 61.5). I want to take the dish. I have an extra 500 dish laying around that I'm not using and wondered if I could use this 500 dish at the house to pick up 61.5. I figure it'd be easier to point one of the LNBs...

My hopefuls: AMC (Raindow = probable no go) IFC (Rainbow = probable no go) FX (News Corp. = probable no go) Speed (News Corp. = probable no go) :( The HD Only package rocks and that's why I'm staying with Dish. The addition of the above 4 channels would have me bouncing off the walls with...

BSG doesn't start until April 4th. But I totally agree. There really is no good excuse for this loong of a holdup.

I wonder if they forgot about it being a leap year and meant Wednesday March 5 since Wed is the usual light-up day. Either way, it sounds promising.:hungry: Just realized you were talking about Comcast and not Dish. Oh well. Still might be promising.
