Team Summit General Assembly Notes

[LER]

getting dates on HD LIL is like pulling teeth .



I want Austin so bad....

The impression I got was within 18 mos the top 100 DMA's would have HD LIL.

My local co op telco hooked me up friday with a moto residential gateway with 2 sets like the 622 box,built in DSL and they are in the process of receiving and installing HD equipment. I get ALL of the channels. plus premiums, home phone, unlimited LD, 2 cingular phones, 850 min a month.DSL max for 160 a month, plus 1 ppv. So unless E* shows me something really good it will be adios charlie, he can't even match D* for putting up the Greenville locals, or for that matter (the cable pig)Charter. Fiber will eventually eat your lunch charlie.your SAT internet with its lag time due to distance will never be as good as wire for gaming or real time needs.

I'm sure he's reeling now. You really gave it to him. I guess all those plans and ideas that were talked about in Dallas this week were just crap now, since you have now spoken!

I may have missed it, but no mention of new national HD channels?

[Scott Greczkowski]

What was Cinemax HD?

[dgordo]

Fair enough, but I was asking about anything beyond what was launched that day. Any announcements of future HD national channels?

[Hall]

What was Cinemax HD?

You alluded to a lot more regarding HD carriage in earlier posts.

[Jason Whiddon]

Whats funny is I've seen more than one say "no hd programming since last year" but everyone discounts the the HD RSN's and Cinemax. Probably because they are low watched channels, but still E* is adding hd and it's more than D* and Comcast customers can brag about.

[Neutron]

I'm happy that my RSN, FSSW is carried in HD from E*.

The more HD they can give us the better. I just hope the quality doesn't go down the tubes though.

[Scott Greczkowski]

I don't see hd quality going down the tubes. In fact I believe we may see the PQ improve in the future.

The future seems bright for BOTH satellite companies, and guess who wins?? Us the consumers!
