I don't care. Anything is better than the you-tube quality compress-o-vision we have now on the SD feed. Once it's on Dish, it's only a matter of time before more and more HD content is released on it.

So, is this actually going to happen, or are they just yanking our chains?

Proud Staff MemberAnd remember, they did not make ANY announcement about this. We just happened to have an uplink report which found the channels listed.
A while back, in August of 2006 they had Food HD uplinked for several weeks before going live; and they had INHD uplinked, and NEVER went live.
I can wait a few more days. Heck, once I get this, all of my requests for HD will have been met except for some more premium movie channels. (Ok, my kid would disagree, as he would like Nickelodeon).

Absolutely. Inside information is valuable but sometimes inaccurate, and sometimes random things happen. We'll just have to wait until...well...who knows, to see if these two show up.

Again, as you say, E* never said anything, just uplinked the channels.

Well, I created a DishPass for "Tin Man" and specified HD Preference, just in case...
It would have been nice to watch the "Monk" Christmas episode in HD, but we made do with Zoom-o-Vision. Same with SGA last night. "Flash Gordon" I'm not so worried about.--Roland

I would think not since the launch site pad has had a backed up schedule due to a rocket explosion. This has effected both DISH and DIRECTV . I would think that we might see the new mpeg 4 service by this time next year because of it. OF course this is barring any buyouts/mergers.
