That's what I was thinking when I saw Style as well...

The turbo/absolute crowd got 40% of the Viacom Channels, so 30% of the comast channels seems par for the course

As I've said before, no one posting here knows what national HD is or isn't coming (or when).

Remember when new HD was coming in August? Then September was going to be an "exciting" month? Now it's "next year". Remember when FX-HD and Speed-HD weren't coming for "a while" because contract talks weren't going to begin until the Summer? The channels showed up well before that.

Point is, whatever plans are set in stone are known to Dish only, and even they don't know everything because contract talks are presumably ongoing with a number of providers.

So just keep that hope alive and a few new channels may indeed show up before you expect them to. Or not.

Or just patiently await 5 years from now. If a particular channel isn't HD by that time, you can probably kiss them goodbye, since noone will be watching them and they would probably get dumped.

What really gets me is Dish doesnt usually confirm they are going to add national
HD until they have lit it up. QvcHD, BBCA HD, And ID HD was confirmed by Scott not Dish. So were is the HD Scott

I have turboHD silver and noticed nbatvHD on ch 402/9561 recently. is this part of the month free preview or did they really add it to a turboHD package?

He mentioned a specific problem a short while back, and that it had been delayed until early next year I believe.

I think it's a preview because I'm getting NBA-HD and NHL-HD, which I don't normally get since I dropped the $10 Platinum pack. Only thing is NHL-HD only shows in the 9500s, not on 403.

(To the previous poster) It's really not fair to blame Scott. He passes on what he's heard; sometimes it's right, sometimes not, which even he acknowledges. I'm sure Scott has said more than once that his sources are only on the periphery of Dish decision making so people should take any info he/they provide as a possibility only. IOW, don't bet the house on it.
