• Phoenix local channels KASW (8324), KUTP (8325), KAET (8326), KAZT (8331), KMOH (8338) moved from tp 5 spot 6 at 119° to tp 20 spot 35 at 110°. The rest of the Phoenix locals stayed at tp 5s6. (ANON)
• Phoenix "X" local channels on 5992-5999 are now available to local subscribers telling them that the local channels are moving to 110°. Those customers who do not have a Dish 500 or otherwise cannot see the 110° location are encouraged to call Dish Network to set up an upgrade so they can continue to get local channels after the move.
• Channel 285 became a mirror of HBO HD and became available to subscribers as a free preview channel (ANON)
• HD PPV Channel 542 was removed from the subscriber tier and returned to engineering. (ANON).
  UPDATE: Several people around the internet boards have found that Dish is testing TBS HD channel on this stream now. No word whether Dish plans to carry this channel, but the baseball nuts are going NUTS over this. Please keep in mind that EVERYTHING EXCEPT BASEBALL on this channel is currently NOT in HD. It is SD "stretch-o-vision" up-convert on DirecTV. All is not golden with this channel. (ed.)

• Veria ( Pronounced ve-REE-ah) is now available to subscribers on channel 9575 and 281.(ANON) This is a new channel on free preview for the month. Afterwards the channel will be $2.99 a la carte. There was a news release mentioning that this channel would also be part of AT250 though none of the information on the channel says that right now. Channel 9575 is a VERY odd place for a standard def channel part of any AT package.
• At 1:00 PM EDT TV Chile programming was removed from the system. Channel 842 no longer shows TV Chile programming. A slate is now what you see if you tune to channel 842. The slate says: TV Chile ya no está disponible en DISH Network. Lamentamos cualquier inconveniente que esto le pueda ocasionar y esperamos que continúe disfrutando sus canales de DISH Network. (Greg)
  - Translation: TV Chile is no longer available on Dish Network. We regret any inconvenience this may cause and hope that you will continue to enjoy your Dish Network Channels.
• Free Preview channel range changes (ANON) - Remember channels 281-297 are all mirrors of existing channels :
  - 281 ESPN U became Veria.
  - 282 and 283 (FSC and VS) are no longer available on free preview.
  - Channels 290-298 now house the HBO channels. The channels will show up on the EPG however the free preview does not start until tomorrow morning at 6am. Until then when the channels are selected, they come up with "program not available" prompt.
• As mentioned in an earlier change, Fox Sports Net New England is now Comcast Sports Net New England. Today Dish changed the EPG on channels 385 and 435 from FOXNE to CSNNE to reflect this change. (ANON)
• Foreign Programming Free preview channels 574 and 575 moved from tp 12 to 16 at 61.5° and from tp 25 to 27 at 148° (ANON)
• Two new foreign language channels were uplinked but not available to subscribers.
  - ZTV (presumably NOT Zee TV) channel 754 tp 19 at 129°
  - XTV channel 573 tp 25 at 129°
• Test channel 5748 TWCV2 was removed from tp 23 at 148°
• HDTV channel "ATT" added to 9646 tp 6 at 129°. (ANON) This channel is square in the middle of the Dish Network Business TV channel range. These channels are generally closed circuit channels for training, video conferencing and other such uses. As the name indicates, this is probably an internal AT&T channel. At this moment it is reported that the channel only has a Dish logo at Full HD resolution.
• Channel 9901 changed names from D1000 to D129 to conform with the reset of the "Aiming" channels.(ANON) This channel is strictly to help techs aim satellite dishes and to help CSRs determine what satellites you are receiving. This channel is specifically to determine if you have a dish pointed at the 129° satellite. The D1000 was for "Dish 1000".
• CALL LETTER CHANGES ON LOCAL TV CHANNELS
  - Channel 7698 WHMM became KGLA.
  - Channel 8283 WTGL became WLHV (Removed bad hyperlink)
  - Channel 8284 WLCB became WTGL (Removed bad hyperlink)
