So 5 channels more than DISH already has. I guess DISH will match at least some of those like Tbs, Cnn and maybe Smithsonian or CArtoon network. I already know that the Big Ten Network won't be one of them. So it looks like so far DISH will still have all the channels in hd that I want. THe sports networks mean nothing to me and I don't count them towards the hd total.
