EchoStar: We Have 70 HDTV Channels!
The satcaster makes a case for being the HD leader.
By Swanni
Washington, D.C. (September 13, 2007) -- EchoStar says its Dish Network service is now offering 70 High-Definition channels.
While DIRECTV is generating headlines with its planned high-def expansion, the satcaster's rival says it's delivering HD in volume now.
EchoStar this week added the Big Ten Network HD to its lineup, giving it 39 national HD channels, more than any other TV provider."EchoStar is proud to solidify its leadership in HD by continuing to offer the most national HD channels in the country," EchoStar spokeswoman Francie Bauer said today.
DIRECTV says it will offer 70 HD channels by month's end and 100 high-def channels by the end of the year. The satcaster launched a new satellite in July to expand its HD capacity and is scheduled to launch another one next year to expand it further.
But counting regional sports channels and PPV channels, EchoStar says it has 70 HD channels now. The satellite service yesterday added eight HD PPV channels which offer new movies in high-def for $4.99 each.
EchoStar's list of 70 HD channels includes 39 national HD channels, 18 regional sports channels (most pro sports broadcasts can only be seen in the subscriber's local market), nine HD PPV channels and four local network channels (not available in all markets.)
The company's rivals are likely to discount EchoStar's claim of 70 HD channels, noting the regional sports channel's limitations and the fact that some EchoStar markets can't get the local channels in HD. In addition, a PPV channel is usually not defined as a full channel in the industry.

Both sides will count their RSNs. I agree with the post that if you are happy with what you are getting, great!
I am a happy camper, and will be happier with CNN HD, Weather Channel HD, Sci FI HD, and more premium movie channels.
I find D*'s claims questionable. They have Sci-Fi HD advertised on their web site as one of the HD channels "coming soon". There is not so much as a peep on the Sc-Fi channel's web site about an future HD channel being offered. Unless D* plans on simply upconverting Sci-Fi and other channels, which isn't really HD. Although, it wouldn't be much worse than their current HD Lite that they offer on their other HD channels.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
