ENGLEWOOD, Colo., April 19 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — DISH Network L.L.C., America’s fastest-growing pay-TV provider, today became the first and only company to offer 200 national high definition channels. New additions to the nation’s largest full-time HD line-up include EPIX HD, G4 HD, Headline News HD, History International HD, Nat Geo Wild HD, ShortsHD, Style HD and Turner Classic Movies HD.

Consumers can enjoy these high definition channels and more via the most advanced DVR technology in the industry, DISH Network’s award-winning ViP 922 SlingLoaded DVR. This is the world’s only DVR with integrated Sling technology, allowing DISH Network customers to watch their favorite programs anytime and anywhere via their laptop or mobile device. Customers with a ViP 922 have access to 200 HD channels through a giant 1 terabyte hard drive – twice as large as any other distributor’s DVR.

“While others repeatedly claim they have the capacity to offer 200 HD channels, only DISH Network has delivered,” said Tom Cullen, executive vice president of Sales, Marketing and Programming for DISH Network. “We are pleased to continue to lead the industry in delivering the best movies and entertainment with channels such as EPIX HD.”

Another bad news for c-band satellite system owners.

We just learned from our suppliers that Showtime movie package will no longer be available for renewals for any other term then month by month bases, until June.
Showtime will no longer be available on C-Band 4DTV as of 6-30-10.  Their decision not ours………….

All of the channels and more can be accessed with DirecTV and Dish Network US satellite systems.

Here are the remaining channel on G3 Satellite that are still available to 4DTV customers on C-Band systems
G3-580 MSNBC
G3-581 Fox News
G3-582 Hallmark
G3-583 Lifetime
G3-584 CNBC
G3-585 CNN
G3-586 HLN
G3-600 AMC
G3-622 USA
G3-624 Comedy

These are now the correct channel numbers for the G3 channels that we are still uplinking. The Guide will be corrected a.s.a.p. by Motorola ACC to reflect the channel numbers that were changed. Some customers will need to remap their 4DTV’s if their 4DTV was not shut off last night and did not receive their overnight download. To remap a model 922 4DTV, they need to move to G1-150 or G5-100, make sure they have a green DC light, let it sit on that channel for 30′ and then the above channels should be turned on for them.
