I got an email notification at 12:51 that a new thread was posted in here called "SatelliteGuys.US DishNetwork Uplink Activity Report - Week Ending 04/19/2008 - 154 ch." So I came over and didn't see anything. Now there is a thread with 9 changes. Where did this email come from?

Let the bashing begin..

 

[teamlazyboy]

probably not. I hate to say it but after this long wait for SOMETHING CNNHD just doesn't cut it

 

[Dirtydan]

In pip side by side view, the sd 2oo looks better then the hd version, that kinda sucks.

 

[RandallA]

Well, one HD channel is better than nothing and we had nothing for like 6 months. At least it's a start.

 

[Weezknight]

Interesting about the emails. I usually just check the site so I don't know why the email would say something different.

CNN wasn't anything I was waiting for, but I guess it shows there is life somewhere in the company.

Lets hope it is the start of more HD today and i'm hoping its USA-HD and SCI-FI HD.

I hope so.... but don't hold your breath.

i agree....

 

[TheKrell]

Did CNNHD just get added and made available in one go? I thought there was a period of testing first.

 

[darrencp22]

It was uplinked... it was named "TEMP".
