The Water Channel

Hi all,

Has anyone heard when the Water Channel will be returning to Dish Network? When I first heard about the Water Channel, I jumped (ran away from Time Warner Cable) since TWC didn't carry the Water channel. For a while, i was enjoying watching the sailing shows, boating stuff on the Water Channel, but then they declared bankruptcy. However, thru my favorite sailing mag, I heard they're coming back and are on DirectTV. God, my luck huh? Shall I switch from my current satellite tv to the other or anyone hear any vibes about the water channel returning to Dish Network?

Almost makes it worth buying a TV...


Naaaa! Probably not.



Cool channel, though. I'm sure I'd watch it a lot if I had a TV.

There are benefits to mind numbing entertainment. As for the water channel. I would not change providers based on the speculation tht this might come back, and might succeed

I am in the same boat, switched networks, had the channel for a few months and then they went under. The other problem I had is they were running way to many infomercials (probally trying to generate enough revenue to hang on). I don't think I will switch, hopefully they will come bac to my provider.
