    Is it possible dish network could be giving us atleast one new HD channel each day of this month. Instead of launching them all at once? Who knows. sure would be nice. With dishnetwork you never know what they have up there sleeve.

    You've got to be kidding me... With all that Congress has to deal with on the economy etc. they take time to worry and delay the digital switch over? How stupid is that?

    It irritates me because most if not all of the stations here in Oklahoma after the conversion are going to move around. Some will go to original transmitter channel, others will go to completely different channel, etc... Right now, all but 2 in the entire state of Oklahoma is UHF, after the conversion there is going to be a channel starting at channel 7 up to 14... So there is going to be 7 VHF channels after switch, that is going to mess up reception and of course, antenna's etc will have to be changed.

    Was hoping it would get done in 2 weeks but instead now I have to wait until June 12th to put up my antenna. (no sense in putting up antenna now, only to find out after switch I can't get any stations) Not only is channels moving around, but I'm sure ghosting will increase on some and decrease on others to cause some channels that I can get in fine now to not lock on, etc...

    Just stupid IMHO... Why delay further and further and further... Get it over with and move on... Jeez, lot of people are on cable and/or satellite, and those that aren't surely have had enough time to get ready for it, if not, that is their fault... Switch it, they'll get on the ball and get ready, LOL...
