New HD on DishNetwork? "Soon" might be right around the corner...

[sammy4041]

Just thought I would drop a line and get my money's worth on this pub subscription I paid for.

Seems like a lot of good information.

Now I just have to hide the CC bill so the wife doesnt know I paid 20 bucks to a satellite forum

Well, with Daytona this month and Dish Network's sponsorship last year, I am hoping that Speed TV is one of the few that get picked up. Its about the last remaining SD channel that I watch frequently.

Dido, give us Speed HD, please!!

Wow, One thread, I am already happy I paid 20 bucks to read this forum!

What is eastern arc?

They are mountains in Tanzania and Kenya.

IMHO if we get these channels it will be because they are cheaper for Charlie to add. Not because they are what the customers are clammoring for.

And they can add them to their inflated channel count for marketing purposes.
Those new subs won't know what hit them until they sign up!

What is eastern arc?

or a group of satellites in the eastern sky?

That's what I'm thinking.... based on other things Scott has said in the past.

61.5 spotbeams for new LiLs and RSNs on the east coast?

Charlie's new MPEG 4 only sevice?

I wonder what kind of content that fishing channel has. You would think that if they were going to add a Fishing channel it would be Outdoor Channel 2 HD. Oh well, some fishing is better tahn no fishing!

 

[mike123abc]

I would speculate eastern arc would be 61.5, 77, 86 since they are in the "other" company. They could be all MPEG-4 with spots on 61.5.

Do you guys have HD Locals down there. I live in Eau Claire and might be moving down that way.

 

[jgags6]

Eau Claire is a great place, I have a farm in Mondovi!

It isn't bad, but the job market is much better in Madison. No Fox HD in Eau Claire either.

Just like baseball: hitting fouls to run up the pitch count. Except in this case is would be adding fouls to run up the channel count.

Seriously, though, like everyone else I have a short list of HD channels I would like to see in the near future. As long as we are moving in the right direction I won't begrudge someone else getting a channel lit up that I don't value as highly.

 

[RedSavina]

Ok here is another tease of what I am working on... (two seperate things)

I will give you the names of each project I am working on...

"Stargate"
"Eastern Arc"

BTW if you have any info on the above projects and think you can help me learn more about them please email me at tips@satelliteguys.us all tips are kept anonymous.

My guesses:
"Stargate" = SciFi HD
"Eastern Arc" = NESN HD

Now if we could just get some traction on the DVR upgrade for the ViP211 I would activate my 211 again instead of letting it collect dust on my dresser.
