I haven't heard anything about Logo.

If you think about it, just because a TMP channel is uplinked does not mean it will be made available. MOJO was uplinked for years, IIRC, without ever being made available.

So, when the uplinks are backed up by other sources, that is when we can expect to see some new channels (although, of course, nothing is certain until you see the A in the uplink).

By the way, Logo is a Viacom channel, so it may already be part of the previous deal, simply awaiting launch in HD.

PS Based on what we are seeing, I am guessing that 48xx is a special test channel area for employees to check quality prior to a channel being made available...

 

[digiblur]

From what I can remember most of the time the 48xx channels didn't have bandwidth, or were either a static bandwidth. Basically just a virtual placeholder.

Like my Jewish friends would say from your mouth to GOD'S ears when it comes to this LOGO channel

Your Jewish gay friends? What?

 

[ncted]

One channel it they turn it on that I will make sure is blocked

The poster doth protest too much, methinks.

If FXHD and SpeedHd aren't in the Absolute package my wife will make me switch to whatever package has them. She was pissed when I switched to Absolute and there was no more Speed. Only the savings kept her from switching back, oh, and my telling her that it was coming SOON.

 

[M Sparks]

The channel may not be for everyone, myself included, but there are a lot of people who will enjoy it. I've heard a lot of people say that "RuPaul's Drag Race" is a good show. To each their own. ESPN HD isn't a channel that everyone enjoys. And might be a good idea to watch the profanity and not insult other members based on their sexuality.

Yeah, I've heard Logo has some good concerts from what I've heard too.

This guy is pretty much the definition of a homophobic. Like, I don't want to see actual gay porn, but to be so afraid of a basic cable channel based on the audience it's aimed at is really really pathetic.

By that logic, I should lock out Speed channel because I'm afraid of NASCAR fans

A bit off topic, but what makes you think he's "scared" of homosexuals? I hate the term homophobic. If someone doesn't approve of something, that doesn't necessarily make them scared of it. It might mean they are intelligent.

I don't mind the gay lifestyle as long as I don't have it shoved in my face...on the other hand, I don't approve of it either.

LOL.. that was seriously funny..

Does that mean I'm sexist because Lifetime freaks me out?

I'm sure many gays and lesbians don't love having the heterosexual lifestyle shoved in their faces, and I wonder how many gays and lesbians approve of the heterosexual lifestyle? I guess that they sort of HAVE to approve of it, else we'd all be extinct.

Great logic! Again, I don't want them stoned to death. Let it go.

Good thing you included your last statement.

How is it shoved in your face? I've never experienced this, but maybe we're hanging out in different places.

We don't REALLY want to get into this. My post was a "generally speaking" post. Not necessarily about this channel. I could tell you some stories, but would rather not.

Fair enough. Just wanted to make sure that you don't think the addition of Logo is shoving anything in your face.

No, no, no. Sorry for the confusion.


I might add...it would be blocked as I have the adult channels. I have children, and it's just not something I want them watching.

 

[vaylon]

Logo would be interesting, fxhd would be better.

As far as gay stuff goes?
As long as its entertaining and not vulgar, my family enjoys it.
My kids were the one's that started downloading some of the stuff from them off of youtube, and it it some seriously funny stuff.

But if I were to block BET? would that make me a racist?

To each his own and try not to judge others to much.

In our house
Adult content is all blocked.
All religious programing is blocked.
and most (MDK (murder, death, kill)) programing is filtered. If I think its to much? it gets cut off.

The only people I know of that shove their beliefs in your face are.
Harry Krishnah's
Jehovah Witness
Evangelicals
and the kirby vacuum cleaner sales people.

I can't remember in all my years of a black or gay person ever even attempt to get me to believe anything.

 

[Kirby Baker]

Isnt this an uplink thread??

Living here in Iowa (gay marriage passed) I am so sick of seeing anything gay the addition of Logo would be par for the course. It is one more channel that will be left off the favorites list.
