Any new hd channels in the next month

[scsa]

Anyone know if we will ever get new hd channels on dish i mean people bad mouth direct for not giving. New channels a lot but dish hasnt added much last year too in fact they lost locals on Monday in fact. Thanks for any info.

DISH added a good number of HD channels in 2011. Who knows what the future holds. Perhaps we will hear some HD news next week at CES.

I am hoping on the second when they take the locals for those people they at least give them something for it like hell hsn or qvc in hd. They won't add any new premiums since they know they can't compete in that department with dtv since they have them all and dish loves being ahead in the basic department so I would think qvc and hsn are easy to get and something they should be giving.

What you can't read I actually have it spelled all right. On January 2nd dish is taking locals away I said that they need to give people qvc and hsn in hd to make up for it.

taking locals away?

 

[scsa]

Yeah they lost an agreement with some local channel thing I dont think its my locals so I don't know the full thing but you get it even on direct tv locals saying if you have dish you won't be getting the channel come the 2nd.

this whole thread just gave me a headache. good luck with whatever it is you are trying to get or find or restart or whatever...

Comcast just added 10 new HD channels a couple of weeks ago.......the separation just keeps getting greater.......

 

[scsa]

Yaz you are lucky they said 1 quarter 2012 for my comcast over here in Florida. Oh and I don't care what you think the person before yaz.

Just curious. Is English not your first language?

Why should Dish waste precious HD bandwidth on shopping channels like QVC or HSN?

He can read just fine you can convey very well. What locals, if you don't know then it isn't news it speculation. IOW's RUMOR.

I'm skeptical that many would accept two shopping channels in HD as good substitutes for losing locals in a carriage dispute.

Simple: Shopping channels PAY to be on the line-up!
I know "no one" watches shopping channels. They just sell several BILLION dollars in merchandise every year to a phantom audience.
QCV's estimated world-wide sales were estimated at $7,807,000,000.00 (2010). $1½ Billion of that was jewelry.
In 2009, HSN had $629,620,000.00 in sales IN THE FIRST QUARTER. ($2.8 Billion for the year.) Sales were up in 2010 and the first Quarter of 2011. stopped looking after that.

And most of that is to my dear old mom in Florida.

Probably because (I think) he's saying they're not even his locals....

Cauz they are paid to carry them! And old lady's want to shop!

 

[fhsucade07]

Peggy Bundy certainly killed Al's paycheck thanks in large part to shop at home channels. On the flip side of that, though, I wouldn't suppose a women's shoe salesman would have a lot of income to play around with.
