Who decides what channels are to be released anyway? Is it Charlie or some guy stuffed in a cubby whole somewhere trying to sabatoge E* by choosing the crapiest channels to launch?

Yep, you guessed it. Some cubby hole guy makes the all HD decisions for E*.

 

[tempVAdish]

Yeah, I'd love chiller too. I LOVED the old Friday the 13th the series back in the day.

But honestly, the only time I really watch the cable news channels is during disasters.

So with hopefully no disaster happening for a long time, I won't be going near them.
Of course...Hurricane Season is right around the corner for us down here in New Orleans...<Gulp>

I think I'd rather have the Weather Channel HD for Hurricane Coverage

This is the worse channel possible to go HD. I will never watch it. As far as I am concerned there is no new HD channels.

Yep, and as you can see, he hasn't been too busy lately....

:up :up The poor guy was probably up all night watching SciFi HD on his D* system.

"Ha ha! You fools! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against Charlie Ergen when customer satisfaction is on the line! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! HA HA HA..."

 

[Rey]

do me a favor and shoot me in the head with that gun!!!

 

[mstregamer]

Thanks Cosmo_Kramer.....U Rock!

 

[Tyralak]

You know, the biggest problem I have with them is the total lack of communication. Everytime we ask about something their reply is "SOON". That means absolutely nothing, and is insulting. I wish they would tell us SOMETHING. If they said "Look, we know you want Sci-Fi HD and USA HD, and we're currently trying to negotiate a contract. We don't know when exactly we can turn the channels on, but we will keep you posted." I would respect the hell out of that. But they don't even give us that courtesy.

Maybe it's one of these guys.

Yes, Wenger has never been on CNN !

But this June, we won't need any new HD channels, since we have ESPN-HD and ESPN2-HD .

 

[Primus]

and Kudos to CNN-HD for not stretching ! :up :up :up

QFT!!

I guess. If you're into sports. Which to me is like watching grass grow.

 

[Poke]

Well CNN ok but they got to stop dragging their feet and get SCI-FI HD and USA Network going as well.

 

[Rey]

no more uplinks today? crap!

 

[cosmo_kramer]

Maybe it's one of these guys.

I hope not, especially after what happened to their building!!!

 

[kstuart]

If they said "Look, we know you want Sci-Fi HD and USA HD, and we're currently trying to negotiate a contract. We don't know when exactly we can turn the channels on, but we will keep you posted." I would respect the hell out of that.

If you end up talking to the people at E* responsible for programming, that is exactly what they are saying.

And, logically, there cannot be any other situation.

What else could there be ? You think that the situation is:

" Gee, we could add those channels now, but we love losing customers to other companies, so we don't. "

 

[Smith P.]

New version of uplink (SDT) just came 11 min ago.
Any changes there ?

 

[Poke]
