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

[Scott Greczkowski]

Look for the DVR upgrade for the 211 to be out around May / June although they are pushing it to be out earlier (but we all knows what happens when they push things)

Thanks for the news Digi and Scott!

My keyboard, too, is sealed...

 

[tigerfan33]

Scott. Give us a little clue on the Eastern Arc please.

 

[RedSavina]

Got a black strapless I could borrow?

Ha! That's pretty funny! Guess I should go correct my typo...

"Eastern Arc"

Unfortunately, I'm guessing that it isn't referring to either of the "arcs" that make up a certain tri-oval in a town in the "eastern" US called Daytona Beach.

OTOH, nice to hear we might actually see some more HD of some sort.

 

[Bountykiller]

If you are referencing spots on 61.5 then yes this is coming "soon" Evidence is already in the stream, I expect the NYC locals to all go spot soon. This will suck for people who have "moved" to NYC... Luckily the Western Arc is likely a ways off still with Ciel-2 not going up with all the delays in launches until the end of the year most likely regardless of the currect schedule. LA HD "Movers" will then be SOL as well! ;0 When is NPS going HD again?!? ;0

Anyways.. bring on the HD Charlie... Show us that you don't JUST like emptying our wallets without giving something back ;0

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

MSG?

 

[SarKen]

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

OOOOO that would be nice!!!

I see we have had a lot of people hanging out in the pub the last few days.

I sure hope we don't run out of beer.

Its never run out yet...

 

[cosmo_kramer]

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"

Spotbeams 1 through 9 on E12 seem to make a nice "Eastern Arc"

Run out of beer. That's funny!!!!!!!!!!!!! On a serious note though, don't ever say that again. We will not tolerate that kind of crazy talk here

I wonder if and when these new HD channels get up they'll be claiming 150 HD channels....

We have seen that whatever the real number is you multiply it by 10 and that is E* math for calculating HD channels...

 

[BigTimMN]

Its no different than the claims that D* makes, or even Comcast counting all the HD-On Demand to claim more HD than anyone...

 

[mdonnelly]

Okay, enough. It's the Pub, not the War-Zone.

But it is the truth. :

 

[BigTimMN]

Ok, how about me saying, its no different than a basketball team adding a couple of inches to the height of their shortest players in the media guide?

 

[mdonnelly]

Truth, lie, spin, slam. Whatever it is, it's off topic.
