Yet another day! With just a little over 2 months left in the year, Dish better get on the ball if they're going to make 150 National HD channels and 100 HD Local markets by the end of the year. I hope I'm wrong; but I just don't see it happening. It seems like Dish is more worried about the EA right now than anything else. What a shame that they focus on one part of their customer base, while ignoring the other. In my area(Missouri), most is being converted over to EA(St. Louis,Jeff City,KC, Joplin), yet the 3rd largest city in the state(Springfield) is overlooked. Most of us outside of Springfield cannot receive most of the locals OTA because of the hilly terrain, yet Dish refuses to offer HD locals! Directv has them! Dish actually told me that they were in negotiations with those stations to carry them in HD. They have to negotiate to get something thats already provided to them with the SD feed? Get real. The Springfield stations thought that was funny! According to them, its a Dish Issue and has nothing to do with them. Dish isn't even fighting over pennies this time, they just don't want to carry them. When Dec. 31st rolls around, Dish had better come thru on these promises or Directv will get a new sub as a late Christmas gift! It's no wonder why their churn is so high!
