MSNBC HD Now Available

[JonE]

I'll try the front panel reset again.

 

[atlind01]

Yep, now I've got it.

What's your subscription level?

 

[Roxor]

Thanks, Charlie. I have a great pic on my new 42" LG LCD 240Hz. Can't wait to see Chris Matthews in HD.

post #4.

Any word from from a Turbo subscriber?

 

[JonE]

Turbo Gold + Platinum and nothing on either channel. $80 a month for eight HD channels in red.

 

[PHXHoward]

So exciting! Need to redo all my MSNBC timers now.

 

[atlind01]

anyone with HD Absolute package?

 

[jdmacor]

Turbo Gold here as well, with red. It looks just like FoxNews and FoxBusiness in the guide... I only see one version, and it is red. So no, I am not getting it...

 

[PHXHoward]

Too bad. I was hoping to switch to Turbo once this channel launched. Want Speed HD too but that channel alone would not have been enough to keep me in a Classic package.

Guess that debate is irrelevant now.

[JonE]

On the chat with a 'customer service' representative now.

I don't have Speed HD either.

Was just told by 'Sabrina' that MSNBC is not available to Turbo subscribers. So I'll just downgrade to Turbo Bronze and keep the platinum package for Movies. If I can't get all HD why bother paying for it?

Folks your are not missing anything---programs are still SD other space is wasted with garbage--not true HD

 

[mrsdrgn]

M_N_C HD? WOW HOW EXITING. LET ME KNOW WHEN THE GARBAGE HD CHANNEL GETS ADDED.

Thanks Charlie, you're the best, getting MSNBC-HD, glad I switched over from DTV !

 

[dijohn76]

I have HD absolute, have done both hard boot and check switch and MSNBCHD is still listed in green (not available without changing subscription) Not bothering to call DISH, my last call I was giving them details on what previous reps had said and was told "sorry they told you that but you ought to be grateful for what you have at that price" and they hung up on me, I have no desire to listen to more garbage and treated rudely.

Edit: Just noticed that channel# 9511 is in red and 209 is in green?

That's the plan for now during much/most/all of the daytime, much like CNBC. The evening shows - Olberman, Maddow, etc are supposed to be in 16:9 HD. Not sure about Morning Joe...

 

[FitzAusTex]

Bah... lots of on screen garbage on MSNBC HD.

I'd gladly take the screen garbage to get this channel back...I just won't switch off Absolute yet...
