The thing I find odd is the gathering of HD channels on 110w TP 6. Aren't they pushing the limit for QPSK?

How many HD channels are on Hawaii and Alaska now?

Looks like the VS preview is done. Too bad, I was getting hooked on the hockey.

Although I'm really tired of no new National HD content for the rest of us.

Looks like just channel renumbering with slates to me, nothing getting cleared off.

Two years plus of waiting (Jun of 07) since it was initially uplinked. Maybe Schurz communications finally worked it out. Anyway, now some more football in HD and some other shows. Now come on FOX and Dish, get KTBY up in HD and you will make a whole lot of Alaskans happy!

Wondering why they hiding non-sub internationals on 118?

looks like Vs. moved to the Sliver package, because in another thread someone mention that Vs. is off for Bronze package customers while i still get it and i have the Sliver package. can anyone else with the Sliver package confirm this

Dish will add more HD Channels in February. Dish is planning a hugh price increase and hopes that the 10 to 20 new HD Channels will keep subs happy. Expect no new HD until February.
