ADVERTS
Discovery and History are the last adds I am referring to in the summer. Yes, they added TBS after being basically shamed into adding it by baseball fans in October. Big Ten is not national and hardly counts. It is a regional network available in states with those schools. They may have launched for everybody but said it would soon be available only in those states where the schools are. As for NBA and NHL, those are both season passes, not something that everybody gets. So really, the only true HD nationals they have added since summer are TBS HD and NHL Network HD. So pretty much yeah, they have not been adding channels.

Also, there are a ton of channels other than SciFi that they haven't added that are available, not just SciFi... want a list? Go look at DirecTV's website. Originally Posted by billymac

Regionals that are not available nationwide are not nationals. I live in Florida and cannot get Fox Sports New York unless I "move." It is deceptive to count those channels in a nationals count. Also 403 and 559 are the same channel.. you can't count it twice... and obviously NHL Center Ice channels, all ten of them are not 10 channels... they broadcast 1 game per day max each.

Not defending the horrible math of DISH but you should count channel 402. It is national channel that is on 24/7 and is not part of Season Pass.

You are reading to deeply into what I am saying. You said Dish stopped adding channels in the summer. I'm saying they added more since then. Not implying it is as much as anyone else, or that more shouldn't be added. Just saying that they have added channels since summer. Originally Posted by skottey

Nor do we get FSNY-HD. They are just said to be uplinked. Probably not. Just placeholders. Originally Posted by darrencp22

This is kind of funny, Knoxville is way down the list (58) on the TV market ranks and so are the others. Orlando is a smaller market than Tampa... etc..
Yet Dish does not offer HD locals for Tampa. Another example of the idiots behind the wheel at Dish going the wrong way down the Interstate of common sense.
Why would they add HD locals to the smaller television markets first?
Here is the list of rankings by market for those that want it...
