Welcome to SatelliteGuys Retailer Chat Recap for Thursday July 10, 2008. As always we will give you the information of the chat which is of interest to you the consumer.

We do not dicsuss dealer sensitve issues here such as costs and profits, if you want to talk about those things then please visit our sister site at http://www.dishretailer.com

This is a live recap, however I am watching via a Slingbox which allows me to pause and rewind so that I can grab screen captures, this means some of the live recap might be delayed a few minutes.

Thanks for being SatelliteGuys and enjoy todays coverage. I am expecting some exciting news today!

STAY TUNED!

They then talk about the Digital Transition and push the DTV Pal box.

I wonder what the new 17 new HD Channels are?I also wonder if these new HD Packages are replacing the current HD Packages?:)
 
I got to admit it I LOVE these new HD only packages. :)

Even a DVR Advantage version of the HD Only package. :)

HD Essentials package changed named to bronze Silver gold or Platnum
