    Eventually, Maybe. My understanding from other friends in the soccer community is that ESPN has an EXCLUSIVE on North American HD of live Premier League and other major foreign soccer leagues for this season. That FSC can't broadcast these events in HD, even if they could. I could be wrong...

    Sure it has. Most of the time they don't say anything until AFTER. But they have pre-announced things on several occasions. The most memorable was when Discovery, TLC, History, et. al., went live a couple of summers ago. They announced dates for those more than a month in advance, as I...

    Does anyone think that Dish might push some HD in early February to combat the fact that ATT switches to D* Feb. 1? Or do we think that Dish is resigned to losing 10s of thousands of customers to ATT-Directv in Q1?

    I for one am not getting my hopes up. My guess is still that they are putting up some RSNs 24-7, Probably the Comcast ones, since VS and Golf are both Comcast channels.

    I think Dish already carries everything from TW in HD that is in HD. Maybe TCM is going HD and Maybe Headline News. But that's about it. If anything, it could be more CW locals going in HD. But this is just crap. God Bless Charlie for contributing to some of my favorite causes. But if he...

    I do not have both, but my neighbor has the same TV as I do and he has D* and we have done some "walk down the sidewalk" comparisons back to back. These are through both DVRs for common channels. For most of them, there is not a lot to choose. Very similar. The big difference that I...

    ...CHannel and Dish's refusal to drop objections to Fox request to be unbound from arbitration over rate increases that Fox agreed to when it bought D* (He said this is the Big Sticking Point) I keep toying with the idea of switching, but I have not pulled the trigger, as yet. If I could get...

    DishNetwork Uplink Activity Report - 5/13/2008 11:08pm - Last 5 VOOMs removed

    I am Soooooooooo tired of this line of argument. What good is 24/7 HD content if it is the same stuff repeated OVER and OVER and OVER again? How many times can you watch the Collective Intelligence episode about collecting toy trains? I collect toy trains. I have seen this about 10 times and...

    Uplink Activity 5/01/08 2:00 AM EDT -- 3 minor moves

    This one is relatively minor. THe BIG shoe with be the Fox Owned and Operated stations. If this lawsuit thing between Dish and Fox is not settled, then you might see Fox pull retrans rights. When do you think they would do that? Maybe September?

    ...I am now convinced that Dish will be behind in HD for the foreseeable future. And that there are things that I will want that will be available on D* and Not on E*. I have no confidence that E* will carry the Olympics package from NBC, for instance. So my contract is up with Dish. I need...

    Uplink Activity for 4/24/08 4 PM EDT

    ...end of the year to reach the next goal of 100 HD channels. While I certainly hope that we get our "Shower", I don't think we will be seeing anything for quite some time. Certainly not the channel I want most, Speed. Perhaps I can find someone at D* who can put the Speed logo on a DTV HD...

    Sure. The show is not over until the fat lady sends out the press release. I am subscribed to Dish email press releases. When I get the CNN HD, that should be the end of "this week".

    DishNetwork Uplink Activity Report - 4/11/2008 6:37am - No new HD

    No chance Ciel is launched this year. NONE. Uses the same vehicle and second stage as AMC 14 from the same launch site. There will be at least a 6 month investigation before they launch another one of those.

    ...used to assume that they had extra capacity, but I don't assume that anymore. The sales figures show that they are getting their clock cleaned by D* as regards new subscribers, the ones most likely to value HD. They are behind by about 25 channels, by my count. And they have admitted that...

    If your theory holds true, wouldn't they light up all the announced local markets BEFORE they move on to the National HD? Secondarily, it seems they do some things on Eastern Arc every week. If that is the case, I would expect no National HD until Mid May, right? Until Eastern Arc and the...

    Despite global climate change, I think the chances of Hell Freezing over are considerably better than seeing BSG in HD on Dish tonight. I cannot find a Las Vegas line on those events, however.
