Absolutely, Mosquito s in HD their buzzing in 5.1.

So, ask me am I enjoying this channel?

NOT, this channel is an embarrassment.

I,m going crazy I have to spray "off" before I tune to the channel.

Well if that is the case and WFN is a Canadian channel then why can't we get more programming from there, oh like say CBC HD or maybe the real NHL network HD asopposed to the NHL network lite that we get now....

Hey guys shouldn't Toon disney be part of essentials package since its available on top 100?
i have top 100 and i dont get toon disney HD.

According to the dishnet website toon disney is an AT200 and up channel. (might be free preview right now...) Disney (itself) is available in the AT100

So, back on topic...

I think they need a good fishing news program... maybe with a catchy name like "PondCenter" They could run a ticker bar at the bottom of the screen with the biggest international catches of the day and a picture of said catches on the left hand side of the screen.

For me, it ranks right up there with the WNBA.
