Quilting programs on DISH Network???

Jun 18, 2009 5 Replies

I finally sat down and tried to get the DVR on my television to record some quilt programs. Guess what? I can't find any! I set it up to search for quilt, quilts and quilting. All I got was a shopping program with quilted handbags for sale.



Does anybody have DISH and can help me to find some quilting programs? Does DISH even carry any quilting programs??? I may regret changing from DirecTV!

I have Direct TV and can only find 2 sewing related programs and they are on ETV---- Sewing with Nancy and Fons & Porter. Now and then there will be something about sewing curtains or cushions on a decorating channel on Direct TV. Barbara in SC

We should all petition CREATE Tv - it's a PBS station that does even more cooking shows - for sewing, crafting, and quilting shows. Do most people get that station? I'm so tired of paying for imfomercials. I have FIOS and rfd (quilt in a day) is on that but not in my package. I don't know yet how it works but do I have to pay, say, $10 more for 1 show on 1 station?

I have Direct TV, too. On Saturday mornings there are about

6-7 quilt show. My tv picture tube went out this morning :( so I'm not sure what channel to tell you but it's something like
  1. It comes on after Victory Garden. They are mostly old shows but I haven't seen a lot of them. It has everyones show on it.

The quilting shows I can get on Dish are early Saturday morning on a sort of local PBS station. I wouldn't see them without dish. The line up changes from time to time. I don't think HGTV or the other DIY type channels offer much in the way of quilting anymore. We do use the dvr on lots of movies and shows though. One of those things you wonder how you lived without.

How is the house coming along? Are you and the gang settling in well? TAria

I have Dish net & I get Quilting Arts - I don't know what station it is on though. I get Fons & Porter as well as Quilt in a Day, Sewing with Nancy, Martha's Sewing Room, America Sews with Sue Hausmann. They may all be on my local PBS stations - I'm on my way out he door for my guild's quilting retreat, but will try to remember to check when I get home on Sunday.
