    Is spike HD coming soon?

    More importantly, SPIKE is broadcasting The Ultimate Fighter season in HD and all Ultimate Fight Nights. MMA is bigger than Boxing and has a significant following.

    HD Locals not likely to come to DISH soon

    I live in San Antonio, TX, and still can't figure out why NBC has been in HD with direct TV, TWC, and AT&T Uverse for almost 2 years. The only logical explanation I can think of is that DISH won't pay the $$ requested. San Antonio is the #7-8 largest city , and an OTA antenna is out of the...

    HD Locals in San Antonio

    I live in Stone oak, but at the bottom of a hill in my neighborhood. when I lived in an apartment off 281/Evans I bought a $60 amplified Terk antenna, and it worked fine. I finished building my house, and i even went and bought the $125 amplified outdoor Terk directional antenna, and still get...

    Any word on NBC HD. football season is almost here and i refuse to go another season with out Sunday night football in HD. Especially now since I primarily watch Sunday night football more than Monday night football. time warner, Direct TV, and AT&T Uverse ALL carry NBC in HD. With no...

    Spike-hd

    I didn't explain things very well. I meant that Dish will get Spike in HD before the Fedor/Couture fight because the Fedor/Couture fight will probably not happen. If Randy would have just completed his final two fights by now, we could be watching that fight on july 19, but instead we are...

    Spike-hd

    I watch Inside MMA every Friday, and I think Dish will get Spike HD before the Fedor/Couture fight. However, i am willing to PPV to watch Fedor/silvia on july 19, and I am going to wait until the next season of TUF before I cancel Dish and move to DTV. $13/month cancellation fee is a...

    Spike-hd

    Actually, I am hoping to get it before September 17. On that night TUF season 8 begins, and the UFC sill have another free fight night as the lead in. Since SPIKE has started running the UFC in HD, the SD feed sucks. I now have the black bars in the top and bottom, because it was made for...

    Spike Tv Hd

    The UFC just announced an excellent fight card that will be free and in HD on Spike on July 19. Any word if Dish wants to acquire this. I am seriously considering switching to DTV just for this one channel. Dish collects $55 from me for the UFC PPV fights in HD, but isn't supplying me with...

    Where's Starz-C and MTV in HD

    I hope Spike is included on the Viacom list because all of the UFC fights on Spike are now in HD. Most folks on this forum are more interested in SciFi HD and Monsters HD, but there is a huge MMA fan base for the UFC that has a very large following. I spend the $55 once per month for the...

    what HD channels will come next?

    I am hoping for Spike to come next. The UFC Ultimate Fighter is in HD this season, and all of the UFC fight nights on Spike. This is the only channel DTV has that I wish Dish had. there are alot of folks that watch the UFC, but are probably not the same demographic that write on this...

    The Thread For Those Cities Without All BIG 4 in HD

    DTV, TWC, and AT&T Uverse all have NBC in HD. If Dish does not get NBC in HD before the football season starts, I am dropping them and going with AT&T.

    DISH Network Charges Forward With Another Round of National HD Channel Launches

    I doubt South Park will be broadcast in HD. FOX has been in HD for years, and the Simpsons are still in SD, and carry much higher ratings than south park.

    HD Locals in San Antonio

    Any word on WOAI in HD?? NBC Sunday night football is going to suck for another season unless DISH can get an agreement. TWC, DTV, and AT&T Uverse ALL have WOAI in HDTV.

    HD Locals in San Antonio

    I spoke on the phone with the KABB Director of Engineering over a month ago when I noticed this problem. He was very pleasant to speak with, and VERY knowledgeable. (Ironically, I still can't speak to the engineering dept. at DISH, and this is who get my $$) David explained about 5-6...
