    I've been one of the many customers that have had a few issues with D* and the way they're going about satisfying their customers including me.

    We Want More Hd, Charlie!!!!

    Dish has no excuse not to provide it's customers more HD channels. It's very obvious that just about everybody these days are going out and getting HD TVs. Why? Because many consumers are now more aware from what they've seen in the stores and they like what they see and want it. If DISh don't...
