    Sunday Ticket Promo HD Channels

    Yup, turned it back on for me after I explained the situation. Told me next year it'll cost $99. Very good of D* to honor what they told me seven weeks ago. :thumbs

    SciFi channel HD??

    Oh please. Right after people mentioned it showed up on D*, they were plenty of people claiming it wasn't a real HD channel. That was on 10/3 @ 10:59 am This one came on 10/3 @ 10:23 am There's a quote "explaining" that D* probably was just upconverting the SD feed. Here's a quote from...

    USA HD looks great

    Oh man, the new episodes of Law and Order: CI are going to be broadcast in HD. I didn't even think about that! Great move by USA and D* in launching the channel now!

    USA HD looks great

    I just got home and turned on the TV and I'm blown away by USAHD. Fast and The Furious was playing and it was the desert race scene...incredible. I don't even think the baseball game I saw the other night and gave 9.5 out of 10 looked as good. This is beautiful. I can't wait until WWE starts...

    Dish non responsive to its customer wants

    I don't think I've watched anything on Bravo *ever* except for their celebrity poker show, but that's been a good year or so ago. Same goes for a few other channels, but it's one channel I could care less if D* dropped for something else.

    Rockies Vs. Padres on TBSHD tonite...

    Man, TBSHD has lived up to the hype. I don't think I've had a baseball game look this good in HD all year. The real test for me is always trying to see the net behind home plate protecting all the ticket holders and it's very visible when the pitcher is winding up. I remember watching the WS...

    Rockies Vs. Padres on TBSHD tonite...

    Looks even better with that 3-0 lead! :D So to answer the naysayers, HD on TBS is real and it's spectacular!

    I wanted the 18 month commitment

    So you didn't read what you were signing/initialing? And that's the installer's fault how?

    TBS HD lacking?

    I caught maybe 15 seconds of the Braves game yesterday while flipping around between NFL games and it looked like the game was in HD. Looked way better than any episodes of Seinfeld that I caught earlier last week. Tonight will be sweet.... Pats/Bengals in HD on ESPN Rockies/Padres in HD on...

    Worst...NFL SUNDAY...Ever (this season)?

    Agreed. I was impressed that all those games were available in HD. 49ers/Seahawks looked the best in terms of PQ.

    Dish non responsive to its customer wants

    Nope, it's quite the fair comparison. You want a Big Mac (Logo) and there is a place where you can get it...McDonalds (D*). You can ask Burger King (E*) to carry the same item, but if they say no, they aren't being unreasonable if it doesn't fit into their business plan. We aren't talking about...

    Dish non responsive to its customer wants

    No offense to the original poster, but this thread is a perfect example of the "me" generation. Has everyone forgotten that the satellite companies are in business to make a profit? Just because one person (or a small percentage of users) want a certain channel doesn't mean it makes good...

    $4.99 for HD channels with no SD channel

    No it doesn't. Coming from E*, I was paying $20 a month for 8-10 good HD channels and a bunch of crap ones (Kung-Fu HD? Monsters HD?). With D*, it costs $15 a month and IMO, I'm getting better quality channels. I've got 12-15 HD channels I'll watch right now. Even more when they go live. -$5 a...
