Absolutely, D* was brilliant with their marketing campaign during the period when they were waiting for the sats to launch. They kept reminding people about all the channels they were going to get and how D* was the "secure" choice (much like VZW).
I also wouldn't be surprised if D* gave many networks "incentives" to launch HD channels earlier than they would have otherwise, even with little or no actual HD content, just so D* could overwhelm people with the sheer number of channels they were launching.

USA shows a lot of programing in TRUE HD.
Now channels such as Cartoon Network, MTV HD (Not the same as MHD), VH1 HD, Comedy Central HD, CM HD have never had a single HD program on them, they are just SD upconverts.Scott

We're talking within a few million of each other though. Dish only sells in like Radio Shack, Sears (neither very well from what I've seen) and some TV ads here and there.
DirecTV sells with CC, BB, Papa Johns, and a ton of other places. The marketing machine doesn't seem to work very well ultimately.

>Lose=don't have it anymore, as in: Babette will lose her garter because it is really loose.
>Could care less=you can actually care less even more than what you do now.
>Couldn't care less=there is absolutely no more caring that can be cared about.

I don't believe what any of these guys say until it actually launches. It's always surprises instead of disappointments that way.
D* just likes to take their lies and slick marketing to every single channel I watch a couple times an hour. That's an expensive way to totally BS everyone.

Gotta agree, Dish'll be fine. I just signed up - I've four TV's, one of 'em HD, all have DVR capability... This by itself is too cool.
Network HD is OTA with a humongous aerial in the attic (count me in wanting Tulsa local HDs too). I get most of the major channels (beyond Scifi) that I watch in HD - would be nice to have the count that D* has, but then we'll get there.
These DVR's are fantastic! I had one with the local BFE cable operator and very few HD channels. I've watched some Voom, was hopeful the Monster Channel would be better. Seems the bandwidth could be better allocated vs. Voom, but then that's just me.
For my uses - the hardware and price to get it's outstanding. I like the current HD capability, but will be way satisfied when Scifi and the locals go HD too. After that - smooth, way smoooth sailing.
