Free Speach TV and LINK TV

FSTV and Link are two satiations that are not broadcast by my local cable provider, and the ONLY reason that I have stayed with Dish. If I lose them, I will no reason to renew my subscription.

Does "DTV standard" mean that Dish Network has published a High Definition broadcast standard, or do you refer to the ATSC Digital Television Standard (A-53)? P.S.: I know you and dslate69 want all that disagree with you leave the forum. I am still going to complain about HD-Lite, because...

If you want to sugest what I should do with my choices, then pay the delta to get me out of my contract with Dish Network. Otherwise, it is none of your business what I do.

I did not think reading posts on this forum was as difficult as providing High Definition satellite broadcast. Do you understand me, now? Actually, I am not afraid of many things, especially when I spend my money. Now you want me summarily dismissed from the board. I really would not want to...

Quit advocating us having less channels at the expense of the few HD-lightweights. I am not sure what is meant by this sentence. BTW, who is "us"?

If you say that Echostar does not compensate you, then I owe you a big apology. It is still unclear to me as to why you augur so strongly for HD-Lite. You have my apology. :confused: You are not going to get alternative business plan from me. It is Echostar’s obligation to produce a...

I contend that you, and perhaps some others on this board, who augur to justify the virtues of HD-Lite broadcast are just earning your Echostar stock rewards. Are you compensated by Echostar?

Here is what bothers me to most about Echostar, and why I have a problem with HD-Lite: 1) I feel like an unappreciated customer. I have been a subscriber of about 2.5 years. I was attracted to satellite because my then current cable provider did not offer HD TV broadcast. I was sold on Dish...

What needs to done so that a sub gets full HD resolution on a lot of channels he likes? I think this is what all of the complaints about HD-Lite are about. How would Echostar meet my needs without pricing themselves out of the competative market?

So true!

Do not believe for a moment that foghorn2 is innately invested in mediocrity. He is, or people like him are just earning their Echostar stock. Can you say “shill”?

No, I think D* and E* are working from a compromised technical position. The houses in my location now have fiber optic connections right into a box in the garage. So far, these cable companies seem to have bandwidth aplenty. Satellite providers can effective get more usable bandwidth from...

Thanks for the good news. We (the customers) deserve true HD video as identified by international industry standards. Furthermore, we should not allow Echostar to force us into choosing between receiving more HD-Lite channels, and a lesser number of full fidelity High Definition channels ...

Echostar cheats those of us that invest in buying the better quality, high performance video equipment. We will move-on to 1080p and Blu-Ray as Echostar downgrades its picture quality to a standard not defined by any US or international standard. HD-Lite is a result of Echostar wanting to offer...
