Hmmm...wonder what that could mean?!? No admission to the 300s...perhaps they'll soon be evicted from the 9000s as well?

Remember its all stretched or upconverted on all of the new national channels. Not real HD. .... jkn.

That's what I was thinking too.

Hello... I can watch most of these channels in standard def. All you are paying for is maybe one third of real, native HD programming on SOME of the channels. Everything else badly upconverted, it looks better in SD. I'm not bitter, I just don't understand paying more for maybe 30% of real HD programming. WHy is everyone here so excited about coughing up 10 to 20 bucks for a sham? You should all call Dish and say, when you offer more than 50% real HD, I'll gladly pay for it.

Some comments are actually happy about watching Full House unpconverted. Upconverts are grainy and have poor resolution. They look worse, but hey, bring em' on and take my money while you do it. More Kool Aid gang?

You must be blind or feel left out because you can't afford HD.

Hello.... Some of us sub to the dishHD (only) package and don't pay for SD period

So even new HD channels w/ a lot of up-converted SD are a lot better than a blank screen.
