Another All-Star race in Sd, not unless I go to my Friends house who has Direct tv. Isn't this pathetic and sad at the same time?

By the way, those of you waiting for Speed may not wait too long, when I talked to Dish several nights ago they told me Speed was coming early this spring and they were now authorized to "let this information out." So it seems they want people to know it is coming very soon. Why it was not on the Charlie Chat I couldn't tell you.

Then why did Chalie totally avoid the question when asked about speed and fx?

Ok either way it sounds like we might see some of the Viacom Channels in the uplink report this week to go live in HD?? This would be nice step in the right direction..

Charlie said "The 922 is a little bit more expensive so its obviously not for everyone". I wish they would have been more specific about cost. I hope it will be somehow included in a package for new subscribers or current subs with a commitment extension.

Bah, from the sound of it basically implied that don't expect any new content on TurboHD. Hope this isn't the case though.

NEVER trust a CSR - they always spew BS and are never right - proven fact

My guess would $150 - $200

I noticed Charlie mentioned everyone will be getting new smart cards in the mail. I live in Lafayette, IN, so I will probably never have locals available to me, which is why I "moved" to Atlanta and then "moved" to Indianapolis when everything went spot beam. Do I need to move back home to get this new smart card, or will it be sent to my billing address, which is my home. I'm always paranoid that my account will be shut down or something because of the move, but I need my locals.

If you want to find out how much the 922 will be, you better ask Jim because Charlie doesn't have a clue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
