DISH Network Charges Forward With Another Round of National HD Channel Launches

Yes, the HD only package is sweet. Now if there was a way to subscribe to an HD-only premium package. It would be nice to have a way to get all the Movie premium w/o having to pay for the SD stuff that I don't watch.

I thought a couple of months back they said they were going to offer a HD Movie pack where it's just the HD versions of the premium channels for $10 a month?

Yeah like I said TDisney got a show now and the PQ looks really good.

CNBCHD looks really good to

Absent of a real quality HD set and not being calibrated, HD can look awful for some. My suggestion is that electricslime buy his HDTV from somewhere other than WallyWorld and pay to have it calibrated.

He'd have to give up his little 12" B&W set if he did that. Besides, this whole Color TV stuff is just a sham...it'll never catch on!

Even thought TWC and CNBC do not have HD content they still look really good with the graphics and the better PQ.

I am impressed all around. Good job Dish!

They do during primetime. The Weather channels special such as Weather Ventures and Epic Conditions are shown in HD.

ESPNNEWSHD looks really good and like the new layout as well. Smith's Channel looks good as well and MGM HD looks really good as well. WFN is not bad either have not seen anything in HD yet but not bad so far.

- Travel-HD is like the old Travel Channel before it became all infomercials and reality shows (I stopped watching and hadn't noticed it had better content now)

I can't wait for Direct to add this one

- Smithsonian-HD is like Discovery before it became almost entirely reality shows.

This is a nice channel, but one can only watch Panda's in the Wild and America's Hanger a finite number of time.

The head of programming must wear coke bottle thick distorting glasses to think that stretch-o-vision looks right.

At least cartoons don't look as bad in stretch-o-vision as other content since animated figures are already distorted.
