AbsoluteHD BOMB!!! (Not True... uninformed CSR)

I just wish they would come out and say what their plans for us absoluters are next year.

You're not gonna get that info til close to Feb. 1, so don't waste your time wishin' and hopin'.

I think next year Dish Network's new aggressive promotion will be HD for no additional cost to the customers.

Smart idea. So long as it is all customers, not new customers.

Another idea I've heard is the idea of giving people an HDTV (small 32" 720p LCD) when they sign up for HD programing. With what they already spend on instillation and equipment, and with HDTV prices, this makes sense.

Good guess, since Showtime would not be in the HD Absolute package.

Another educated guess: The additional HD channels are going to be "More HD PPV channels."
