ESPNEWS HD March 30

At 8:00E on March 30 according to their commercial on the ESPNEWS Channel that they'll be in HD. I hope E* included. If you watch this channel you'll see the HD advertisement during the breaks.

I thought I read on here that E* already had a contract in place to carry ESPNews HD. I thought it said they would have it from launch but with the satellite screw up who knows?

Nope. It looks like right now, ESPNEWS HD currently has carriage agreements with DIRECTV, Comcast and Time Warner Cable only.

That press release is from October 2007. I can not find the press release where Disney & Dish are in negotiations.

Dish has historically played second fiddle to DirectTV when it comes to sports. Now they are playing second (or third) fiddle in HD, too.

Unfortunately, Dish is quickly becoming a distant second rate satellite provider, with no expectations of recovery in sight...ESPN News is far down the list of HD channels I would expect Dish to provide anytime soon -- maybe 2009?

Thanks KAB, well said.

I skip over to ESPNews when I think there's something breaking in sports that I want to know. Could be latest baseball score, recruiting news, etc.
Viewing in HD would just be a bonus.

According to Charlie on the Chat, he's fully aware of how many people want SpeedHD, but he said he's not going to put SpeedHD on until they present him with a reasonable deal. I don't remember which company owns Speed, but if they insist on a premium carriage deal, be assured Charlie isn't going to do it. While I dearly would like to have SpeedHD, I can't disagree with Charlie's rationale and position.

Fitzie

From Engadget: "With carriage agreements previously reported with DirecTV, Comcast and Time Warner Cable, we expect (read: demand) to get it day one." Still no mention about E*?

ESPNews HD set for launch March 30 - Engadget HD

Here's another press release from ESPNEWS-HD dated March 17, 2008, that confirms the March 30th launch and details more info about the upcoming station...........

You would greatly benefit the quest for knowledge concerning what is in the works at Dish on adding HD services, by catching the loops on ch 101. The last "charlie chat" outlined april and may HD local and national offerings. Be patient, you'll catch it.....

So after reading the reports Directv should get this channel on Sunday March 30th?

Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson had an argument about who was responsible for the dynasty building of the early 90's Cowboys.

The rest of us figured it out in about 3 years, Jerry has had over 30 years but still can't admit it. It's all he lives for, to show everyone he can put together a winner. I don't think he can. His kids only know what he taught them.

Johnson built it, but without the Herschel Walker trade, it never happens.

Jerry made himself General Manager after he bought the team but make no mistake Jimmy engineered that trade. As well as a lot of others at the time.

Jimmy Johnson is a football guy. Jerry Jones is a marketer (hustler).

When I see a football player get a 15 yard penalty for unsportsmanlike conduct (like taunting) in a close game, I often wonder what he was thinking. Was he thinking, I'm doing everything I can to make this a better team and help win a championship? Or, was he saying to himself, I want everyone to notice how great I am?

Johnson inspires one, Jones the other.

Star Trek: Starfleet Academy - Paramount+

Season 2 order already in hand:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

Here i am over a year later and just finished season 1. Not great but not as bad as I was expecting. Did not care for the barefoot captain stuff but overall ok. Actually looking forward to see what they did for season 2.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

There would still be dirt ,dust in the future I am sure. So walking around the station like she did she would get stuff on her feet. I am sure the robot vacuum is still going to miss stuff, with all those different alien species running around there.

Why do you think cleaning technology won't improve in the next few hundred years? HEPA filtration was invented as part of the Manhattan Project.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that.

Say, I don't wear socks or shoes in my house either. But for a captain in Star Fleet it looks bad to be walking around the academy with no shoes. Gives off 1960 Hippie vibes.

If you ponied up for an iPhone Duo, keep it away from anything other than your soft, fleshy fingertips. No fingernails, no dust, sand, dirt, or other particulate matter. And don't bend it more than it needs to. Zack has destroyed $2,000 of Apple hardware to get those views, which should cover his expenses.

IFixIt has published their Teardown and they had some positive things to say about the iPhone Duo. It still showed some dust ingress into the hinge assembly but seemed otherwise well-sealed.

But with a considerable number of reports of the main screen dying with similar failures, AppleCare+ should be a no-brainer for this phone.

If the review is like the article, oi! Eighteen paragraphs into the review and... all they've done is not really talk at all about the actual thing they are reviewing.

Halfway into the "written" review, I know more about how the writer "thinks" than I do about what they are writing about. I understand their politics, their self-overestimated understanding of film, their inability to be funny.

Takes about 22 paragraphs to get to one that starts "Anyway, the story kicks off...". Talk about Slop!
