Not that I watch, but I noticed NO NatGeo.

I was going to printout the graph and then compare it when I got home tonight. Anything else missing between 9419 and 9499 (?)..

If Speed HD, FXHD, USAHD, and SciFIHD were included, I'd be all over this, plus Premiums.

It's there.

Yep, missed it.

Just reviewed our AT100 package channel list and found only THREE channels that we ever watch.

So this HD Only package w/ locals looks mighty tempting. If we don't lose our 1 penny CineMax deal, we'll probably be HD Only on Feb 1st

If nothing else it will help send the message to Dish and the content providers -- HD is NOW.

FWIW this is the first time we've been able to select a programming package that even modestly "fits" our viewing preferences. We're tired of being part of the statistic that supports an industry with way too many channels of poor quality -- picture and/or content. Oh, and not having the regional sports channels is a big plus for the same reason

Can we get just this package without having to tack on other garbage?

Wonder what the final damage would be for a new customer with a 722?

Here's how is compares to my Comcast availablities:

I'd add:

Animal Planet (comcast supposed to be adding 1/24)
Big 10 Network (short term)
HD Net
HD Movies
NHL HD
Science Channel
& Voom Networks

I'd Lose:

CNN
SciFi
USA
MOJO
& Most Important
Comcast SportsNet HD Chicago

What about ones RSN? They've got to offer that also.

Without CNN, USA, FX, and Sci-Fi there are too many major general interest channel missing to make this a viable option for me. Now, if Dish adds at least those four, adds my HD locals (DirecTV has them), and keeps the price right, I'd jump on it.
