    Last Friday we got TBS HD but I don't think we'll see anything this week.

    hrmm... I view suprises as intentional. That was more of a panic from dish.

    Honestly, I don't care how or why we got TBS HD but I'm really glad we did. The MLB playoffs look good on TBS HD.

    If you dont mind excessive pixelation and complete dropouts... at least that was my experience with it last night, and the other times i have tuned in.

    First thing, RandallA, your avatar ROCKS!!!!

    Secondly, I think it's going to be awhile before we get anymore HD.

    Dish seem to have a habit (or maybe just my imagination) of putting the most popular channels on the weakest transponders available.

    I dont think it will be awhile until we see more HD. I fully expect we will have more by the end of the month.

    I dont know how they are going to do it, but I keep hearing from contacts that Dish is looking to pull the rug out from under DirecTV to keep its HD leader claim.

    Lets hope they actually do it and dont keep using this Enron Style accounting for the HD channel number accounts.

    Thanks, Iron Maiden rocks!

    TP6 on 129 is one of the weakest TPs and some genius at Dish Network decided to put TBS HD there. Could've waited after the MLB playoffs to move it back there as I'm sure TBS HD won't have that much HD content.
