Dish to expand HD

[Hemi 6.1]

That's my #1 criteria too. My 18 month Dish contract expires in 4 weeks. Been with E* since '97.

But unless there is hope for an improvement in HD PQ, I'm ready to go elsewhere.

How's D*'s HD PQ these days?

The best its ever been.

When D* didn't have crap for HD, people came to E*. People coming from cable (after their ridiculously low promo deals) will pick one of the two..

Your right ! Problem is E* only had HD going for them. Now they don't have that so we all Dumped Dish HD and came back.

Hope you aren't in a contract. Other than that, give Dish a spin and see how you feel in a few months. I loved it for a while, but things took a turn for the worse last summer when they stopped adding channels and announced no real plans. Good luck.

Since last summer, they have added the Discovery Channels, History, Big Ten, NHL, NBA, TBS. So I wouldn't say they stopped adding channels.

They just haven't added SciFi.

I put the channels in blue that nobody's seen HD on yet.

I'm not saying Directv hasn't added more than Dish. People make statements that Dish hasn't added any channels, which isn't true.

New orleans, promised in 2006 when i signed up, still not on the list.

Jackson, Ms.????? Evidently Dish is not going by market rankings, or city population.

If Jackson, MS is lit up on 61.5 then New Orleans will be also. Take a look at the map that posted in one of the CES threads here. You can see a dot for Jackson, MS and the dot is on the Slidell area which was meant for New Orleans.

Since i only get 110,119, and 129 i guess dish will have to come install a different dish.Which one gets all 4 sats ?

This won't appease anyone.... No dates, no HD channel names, etc, etc.

I'm somewhat closer to being appeased than before I read this --- Orlando, FL, we're getting closer!!!
