I came over from DirecTV about a year ago and knewthere were some channels DTV carried in HD that Dish doesn't. I honestly thought more progress would have been made on that front by now.
And I assume you know there's also several HD channels on DISH, that are STILL not on D* - even though they are & have been on U-verse for years now.
And in our local market, D* (& U-verse) STILL are missing (2) of our locals in HD, that DISH (& Comcast, actually) have had on for years now as well. (actually D* dropped one of our PBS's entirely last year, due to AT&T
themselves moving their LRF to another city, & appears they decided they didn't want to bother putting it back up)
But to your point...it doesn't excuse DISH for not getting more HD's added; HOWEVER, the other site IS reporting American Heroes Ch HD is up in test now...
