    HD Poll (initial research)

    I'm not sure if this belongs in a different thread... All that I am asking for is a duplication of the offerings that D* has for the three networks (notice how I didn't ask for ABC). Who wouldn't want CBS, FOX, and NBC in HD provided by their satellite provider? No antennas or rotors which...

    What new HD channels should Dish add?

    I agree with the Networks... I want ABC-HD FOX-HD NBC-HD PBS-HD Many of us are with DISH because a) the local cable company doesn't have HD offerings (or as few as DISH) or b) they have antenna/reception issues or WAF issues with the mounting of an OTA antenna... Yeah I know about...

    emergency retailer chat?

    wait a minute... If DISH was/is defining themselves as the HD leader then I expect them to be at the forefront of providing HD content... Right now Comcast and Cablevision are providing StarzHD, CinemaxHD, and INHD. Direct TV has announced FOX ED and CBSHD... DISH was months behind D*...

    I'd Love to go OTA but... I'd love to go OTA but many of us in Western NJ have a unique problem... We are sheltered from NYC due to mountains running North/South, and we are still rural enough so that local cable companies will not invest in digital infrastructure... I could pull in Philly...
