Why don't these idiots publicly ANNOUNCE this? I shouldn't have to stumble on it on the website..

I announced it days ago.. but any who.

Im not sure why they didn't put a big ad campaign id assume it is because they are adding about 5-10 channels and dish added like 40... Its make no sense to advertise 10 channels when your competitor is advertising 40... So they focus their ad campaigns on other things

You announced it but I didn't see a specific post naming channels. I saw your birdie post.

I found out because I have been reading all the threads on the baseball on TBS hype for the playoffs and the whiners crying about getting TBS HD on Dish and Scott saying no TBS HD before playoffs. I was surprised to see it pop up on my BHN, considering I haven't had a new channel in decades (haha). I went to the BHN site to find an announcement. There was none, only the attached channel guide update.

As a customer of Dish and BHN, I'll be the first one to say it means a lot to me to have them announce these channels. Tell me what you are going to be offering soon. I have been close to ditching BHN lately and seeing this gives me hope. See, all these channels except TBS HD are on Dish, but I don't get them all. I am in their 100 package, so I don't get National Geographic HD, Science HD, or Animal Planet HD.

My question here is, why aren't they adding regular Discovery HD? Discovery Theartre, recently renamed HD Theater is not same thng as Discovery, it is a showcase. Discovery HD is a simulcast.

And where is CNN HD, as mentioned in the TW article??

Do you have any word on Fox Financial? I want it.

first, this sounds like tampa stuff. however, for those of you in central florida:

4 HD CHANNELS TO LAUNCH OCTOBER 2

tbs-hd
history channel-hd
hgtv-hd
foodnetwork-jd

Yes, I am sorry I didn't specify that this is Tampa info. But we BHN customers are all in the same boat of a) not getting new stuff very often and b) being in the dark about new channels until they appear. I'll bet if we call BHN Tampa or Central FL, and specifically ask about any of these new channels by name, the idiot CSR will tell us they haven't heard anything about it.

you folks have had both MHD and Versus/Golf Hd since the first of the year. but central florida hasn't picked up either of those channels yet.
