OLN returns to dishnetwork
FWIW, if you are a dishnetwork subscriber, OLN is back on. Channel 151. Now you can get their cycling coverage again.

My thoughts exactly. I think they were in for a rude awakening come July with all the people cancelling their service.

I dropped down to the minimum 60 channel lineup when they dropped OLN. Now I gotta get that d@mn 180 channels just to get OLN! I'm gonna check DirectTV first.

Some of the standard def stuff (depsite having a great tv which was professionally adjusted) is actually worse on a hidef display than on a CRT.

I know that the new HD packages have alot more HD channels than what I currently have, but requires the new HD receiver. Hopefully one of the HD packages includes OLN.
to see what they offer - you won't find OLN there though.
