Any mention of Setanta Sports by name??

ZERO mention of Setenta Sports.

I just upgraded to the 622 in June. My dish it up rebate has not been posted yet--Will the 100 dollar rebate kick in for me?

Thanks for the info

No the new rebate is (I believe) effective tommorow.

The 8-15 date explains the bandwidth captured from the VOOM conversion but I'm still wondering what 110W TP 17 is going to be used for. Hmmmmm..... the most confusing thing is the change from 8PSK to QPSK on that TP. That's prime real estate just to be sitting idle.

Excellent news though!

I don't think that Dish feels that retailers need to be pushing Setanta Sports, as a niche channel, it will sell through word of mouth.

They are screwing with us...

They said they had HD news on the retailer chat yet kept stalling and teasing us about it until after the press release went out and then once the PR was out they mentioned it.

I guess they didnt want us releasing the news before the PR went out. I had a partial channel list but not all 7 channels.

By explicitly mentioning that DISH had the most soccer, you'd think they would have at least mentioned that Sentanta was coming "soon" adding even more soccer....

Maybe it's not coming.......again, same as last year.
