Thanks bc. I've been listening to Charlie use it for so long now, I was begininning to think "compelling" meant "at no cost to Dish".

I'll repeat my comment from the Charlie Chat:

"Find compelling content"--is that like OJ finding the real killer?

And I don't even have HD.

I think Dish uses Compelling to mean "forced to carry during contract negotiations"

think of it.. the last channels they added, TNT-HD was launched after the Turner contract was signed.. and TVGuide Crapola channel, which was launched after the Gemstar trial.
