OK, thanks. Looks like Scotts sources s*ck lately.

 

[Weezknight]

so far I count:

2 pathetics
1 embarrassing
1 infuriating
1 dissapointing

My word would be "indifferent." Honestly the channels I watch the most I already get LiL, and the others don't offer an HD channel yet. So I guess I don't have a horse in this race. I'm happy with what I pay for and anything they add is just a bonus.

Ambivalent would be a good word for you.

Baffling.

I think a new national HD this week is good. Don't understand the pessimism in here. We haven't had a new channel in how long???

Everything I read points to them having a bunch of stuff starting in April. If I had to guess, we will see at least one new channel each week for the next month or so. Maybe this is just the start of things to come. Charlie will need at least HALF of his announced HD by the next Charlie Chat.

oh.. and for the record, I want CNN HD about as much as I want SciFi HD or WFN HD or Tennis HD... but something is better then nothing.

the pessimism in here is warranted. too long for so little.

 

[NOHDjunkie]

All I want is SciFi USA and FX in HD.

I Really want to know what the holdup with the first two is. I'm sick of the Wednesday wait crap thats been going on for months now.

Charlie needs to speak up. This is really starting to bug me. I was OK last Wed. I thought for sure today would be the day until this mornings "gulp" post by Scott.

Nothing against Scott.... but Dish is yanking your/our chain.

You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means.

 

[nlk10010]

Look, I'm glad for a new toy I can play with for a couple of days but.....

D* launches SciFiHD/USA-HD/ESPNNewsHD/FXHD/etc.etc.etc......and Charlie fires back with his biggest blast: CNN-HD. Take THAT, D*.

I think pathetic is about as accurate and precise as it gets.

Charlie is probably reading these threads and saying something like: "ungrateful louts: I give them new national HD and this is the thanks I get? NEVER AGAIN."

 

[gjh3260]

my definition of "soon" is June 1.....Center Ice package will be done and my committment will be over.

That should give Dish plenty of time to correct their problem with the lack of new national HD due to technical difficulties, unsigned contracts, plagues, locusts, or any other reason (excuse) they may come up with.

ZOMG!!!! CNN!!!!!!!

All is now right with the world!

 

[dhageremtp]

bagocrap.

I think thats one word.

 

[digiblur]

Sweet, CNN-HD, i watch CNN about as much as i watch my HD Locals!!! Damn dish network and their stupid 61.5 satellite

Scott or Digi, do you think it will ever be POSSIBLE and/or LIKELY that they would mirror the HD Locals to 129/119/110 (where most of michigan is getting their channels from originally)? Please let me down lightly....

Not right now. No spotbeam capacity available on those. 61.5 is getting kicked into spotbeam mode and Dish is building/leasing several new uplink facilities to give the HD locals.

 

[Rey]

they haven't made any changes to their website yet. could this mean more for today?

 

[pmckee]

Sure. The show is not over until the fat lady sends out the press release. I am subscribed to Dish email press releases. When I get the CNN HD, that should be the end of "this week".
