Not home to check but on the 4DTV side they have been running promos/trailers for quite awhile now. Perhaps it has finally switched over.

I found it first on the 922 and was amazed to see it on Amazonas when I came across it there

Since then I have been paying closer attention and have found many channels on both sides of the fence. I will say the quality on the 922 is way beyond anything I had on Amazonas and my signal on Amazonas was strong.

Anyone out there with 4DTV that is close to their box that can check X4 for the channel? Do not remember the channel number sorry and X4 is now loaded with channels to surf through. I am thinking it was 700 or above. If not and I remember I will look tonight to see the status on the 922. I presently have a crippled DVB MPEG2 setup as the dish is down until this weekend and the dish I am running off of can not see Amazonas.

You can always catch Black Belt on the internet at their website. Last night they were showing mostly ultimate fighting matches.

I checked it on the sidecar and it's still there on 644 I think .Only thing I've ever seen on it is the same loop playing over and over talking about the programs they show.

Ok so still promos for the channel "Coming Soon". I knew this past weekend they were still showing the promos and thought maybe the outage with DVB was connected to programming starting on the 4DTV side of life. Gonna try to get 40' more pvc buried tonight so I can get my 90cm dish put up this weekend. Once it is up I will have access to Amazonas once again. Trees block the main dish I have.

Holy cr*#!

I guess those scary looking guys on HDTV channels really were scary guys.

No more Gaelic Football on Setanta Sports, either.

Thanks, Ice, for the heads up on that one!

I am now picking up something that my box is calling Black Belt TV on Amazonas 61 west.

Is this the same thing you are talking about here?

rainman · #14 (**permalink**) 10-18-2006, 04:08 PM

Jose47 · #15 (**permalink**) 10-18-2006, 04:47 PM

Iceberg · #16 (**permalink**) 10-18-2006, 10:39 PM

Anybody getting Black Belt TV anymore? Maybe I should have ordered something from Century Martial Arts supply, Total Gym, and joined the Army to keep them on the air.
