    Regardless of how this turns out, I think it is poor business practice for Dish to advertise product that doesn't exist and may not exist. Why mislead current and potential subscribers and generate potential ill will. My customers would crucify me if I advertised the existence of products and services I don't currently have. This will be even more unsavory if it turns out those HD channels aren't forthcoming at all. If they are coming soon, just list them tagged as "coming soon". That avoids the controversy, I would think. This reminds me a bit of the time a couple years or so back when Fox News was added to AT120. It was also listed on the site initially as being available for DA. Except it wasn't. As I recall, Scott reported back from Team Summit that the higher ups were unaware of the controversy and thought it was available to DA subs.

    It matters little if these HD channels are coming tomorrow or next week or at all. Clearly, as the new site exists today, this is false advertising. DISH seems to have a blatant disregard of the truth and of its customers in this regard. (And this comes from one who is more DISH fanboy than not.)

    I have to agree with you.

    If this is true and we will be receiving these channels in the near future, where is ESPNUHD and ESPNEWSHD that your customer base has been asking about?

    New site's HD lineup is mis-leading.

    Anybody else notice that on the new site that lists all of Dish's High Definition channels, there's channels listed that aren't really in HD?

    If you look closely at that list..the channels NOT in HD do not have HD next to them n(i.e TNT-HD and conversely Dis-E)
