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

[jacmyoung]

The HD only package is a good idea, except for one very very very major flaw, the exclusion of the RSN(s). If I was a Dish sub, this reason alone would prevent me from taking this package.

This is precisely the point, if they let you have the RSNs too many will drop down to $30 and E* will lose too much revenue.

Ahh, alright, I never got into CSI. I would like to see addition of Spike because at some point I'm sure there will be stuff I will want on there. I want FX b/c they always seem to be showing movies that I like but look terrible in SD!

I wasn't into CSI at first either, I had a lot of friends talk about it. Once I sat down and really watched a few I was hooked.

Not everyone cares about RSNs

I agree totally. This is the ONLY reason keeping me from dropping my package down.
Seeing how Cubs and Sox games are also in HD on WGN and WCUI, maybe i will consider this again.

Fixed News

Take it to the pit. BTW the press release says all channels will launch on Monday except the RSN's will launch on Wednesday. Go play with your nuts... squirrel....

Very exciting indeed. This has been a fun couple of weeks with tall the speculation and now the payoff.
