I'm VERY excited that WGN-TV will finally be in HD. I switched over from Dish to Direct last summer and the only thing that disapointed me was that WGN was in HD at Dish but not Direct. Now...I can watch EVERY Cub game in wonderful HD! Life is Good! Thanks Scott for announcing this on...

To find out which Cardinal games are scheduled to be on FoxMW, I check the Cardinals teams schedule located on their website and also linked from MLB.com

Longtime Dish Network customer who is leaving the Cheap Charlie Empire in early April because DN "won't" or "can't" or just refuses to ante up for the MLB Network. I currently have a VIP622 with two-room hook-up and love the equipment. But no MLBN...no more Dish Network for this long-term...

I agree completely and am ready to switch from DN to Direct if Cheap Charlie does not reach a deal to show the MLB Network by Opening Day (April 6 for my local teams). I will be scheduling an appointment THAT DAY with DirectTV if Dish Network does not add the MLBN. It should ABSOLUTELY be...

Caller Q: David MLB network? A: We don't carry it because we would have to put it in all of our packages.(we don't want to burden everyone) Ummm...this is a quote from the most recent "Charlie Chat"...which should be called "Cheap Charlie's Chat"

Caller Q: David MLB network? A: We don't carry it because we would have to put it in all of our packages.(we don't want to burden everyone) Well, I Guess that I'm SWITCHING to DirectTV in April. No MLB Network on DishNet is B.S. Charlie! This Gold/Premium DN customer for 10...

I'm leaving Dish after 10 years if they don't get the MLB Network by Opening Day. DirectTV will inherit another customer. And I'm a Dish "premium" customer paying over $100 a month.

Once again, Charlie has been marginalized by Fox and DirectTV.

First, I've been a continuous Dish Network subscriber since June, 1999. I am one of their "high end" subscribers who feed Charlie over $100 per month for TV service (all-HD, all movie channels). I also love Baseball. MLB Baseball. Here in west-central Illinois, I can watch the RSN's or...

RFD-HD was misidentified in the poll as "Rural Featured Development" TV or something just as decieving and stupidly identified. I have NEVER EVER heard RFD-TV or RFD-HD beging called ANYTHING other than "RFD-TV". VERY MISLEADING in your poll!

Wow. Ironically, I am only able to get a weak signal on the 61.5 transponders since the Ice Storm came through west central Illinois FridayAM. The 110 and higher transponder signals are gone completely and only getting about a 48-50 signal on 61.5. At least I can watch a few Dish channels...

The brand-new MLB Network will be debuting in January, 2009 and I am excited about the prospect of watching this channel when it becomes available early next year. This may likely become my favorite television channel in the future, since I am a huge MLB baseball fan. I have not heard...

Comcast Sports Net...the Chicago regional sports channel that carries most of the Cub and White Sox games...is now in HD :-) I am watching the Sox and Angels right now in BEAUTIFUL HD on Ch. 429! But, being a Cubs fan...it will be AWESOME when I get to watch most of the Cubs games in HD...

WGN-HD must be coming soon because I have noticed it mapped on my 622 when I was recording a WGN program. It shows up on the guide when you want to record a specific program, but won't let you schedule it on HD yet, only on the regular SD Ch. 239. Also, not sure if it is even announced...
