basically they are freeing up a little bit so you wont have as many JIP'd games

but its still game time only

Dish showed it's true colors. If a channel wants to be on dish they will have to pay for the right to do so.

Dish is number 1 on information channels.

I rather they add HSN and QVC in HD as they do film live in HD. What does Veria actually show in HD. At least WFN actually showed many programs in HD now we have a centercut downconverted 480i crap picture which no one will watch. To tell the truth I really never watch WFN but at least it had HD content.

As for kids channels they should have added the Hub in HD since Disney will never come back and the only two kids channels that are in HD cut off too early for grown up programs.

Another Lame/UNpopluar channel , such as no one care!Awful!

Right, I understand what they are doing, but I guess my question is whether Dish considers that a long-term solution or if they have a larger plan for 24/7 RSN's at some point.
