Title: GSN on Dish Network?
Post by: xavier45 on January 03, 2008, 03:35:06 PM
On zap2it, they list GSN as The-N now for channel 116? They also list The-N for channel 177. Now either this is a mistake on the sites part, or GSN may be moving from channel 116. The thing is, GSN is listed nowhere else on the listings.

I really hope that GSN is staying put on Dish Network.

Dish's official site (http://\"http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/whats_on_dish/programming_packages/channels/index.asp?NetwID=50333\") lists two numbers for channels...119 and 116.  Apparently, The N should be on 177 (since that's GAS's channel #)

More than likely a typo.

There's been no notification that it was moving (or going to be removed).

Me thinks zap2it is mistaken.

119 is the *satellite location* that GSN is on, not a channel.

The same thing happened here (Central Minnesota, Charter Digital) for a couple of days.  It was to do with the fact that Nickelodeon made changes to their lineup concerning Noggin and The N.  After the change was made, The N was listed on both 79 (GSN) and 116 (The N).

This morning, all was back to normal, and apparently it wasn't Charter's fault, so I suspect it wasn't Dish's fault either - most TV services get their EPG data from Tribune - especially since two different providers had such a similar problem.

Hopefully since my problem is sorted yours will be too.

Dish Network has been screwed up since The N and Noggin switched to two different feeds, so I guess at least they're doing something, although not right.

Last time I checked DISH's guide, there's still N-GAS up there and it showed the listings for N-GAS not The-N

It may not show the correct info until your receiver does a software update, or is sent a hit.

From the looks of it now, the site has fixed it and put GSN back on channel 116.
