Speed Hd

[JuanPablo]

Am I the only one ticked off that there was no mention of SPEED HD in the upcoming HD list? This blows for all of us NASCAR and Formula 1 fans

Guess you didnt watch the entire chat as our own Dodge called in and asked Charlie about Speed HD.

From the sound of it Charlie is doing his hackling over the price and who knows when it will ever come to Dish! It couldn't be that high, Direct has it along with some other Cable companies! Seems Charlie likes to try to get things sometime for a sale price so to speak, but don't think it will be put on sale anytime soon, it is one of the highly sought after HD channels! So Charlie will just wait it out until his price is met! Hope I'm wrong, I'm almost wanting to jump ship for this reason, but I will be patient for now! C'mon Charlie make this happen! I know he thinks he's doing us a favor to try to keep prices down, but their going to go up regardless, they always do! Just bite the bullet on this one Charlie!

Well I rather Dish fight to get a better price on the channel than to just give in and pay the same price for channels that other providers pay. So point being just because Direct or a Cable provider pays a certain price for a channel does not mean Dish should just do the same. I rather them fight to get the best price so that way it keeps rates down instead of paying the same price as everyone else which sometimes turns into rate increases. Overall I think Dish will add the channel just like everyone else so not to worried. Right now most of the NASCAR races will be on FOX and ESPN for most part anyway..

We all want different channels, but Speed is an important channel to NASCAR fans, one of the major sports in the US. With Dish often being on the hood of Roush-Fennway cars it would seem they would want to include the channel in their line up. Those who watch on D* would be unlikely to make the switch to E* if they should see the Dish ad on the hood if they find it does not carry the HD version of the channel.

I bet the fact that Fox/News Corp. owns the channel is keeping the price to E* above their acceptable level.
