I watched AMC HD on Cox in the clear a few weeks ago. Most movies were in HD but some things were stretched. Patriot Games and Terminator 2 looked good. One HD channel in the clear that I didn't have was worth the switch to cable internet from DSL.

Well, I got different impression from your last PMs.
Perhaps other ppl willing to help monitor and report uplink (system tables) changes ?
Any idea why they are waiting until Fridays to turn on the national HD, I thought they used to do it on Wednesdays also?
I can vividly remember the day Dish uplinked SciFiHD and USAHD. People were posting things like, "Yes!! Finally!!" in the uplink thread.
We all know how quickly that moved...
I think they're supposed to, but then again Ovation was supposed to absorb some of IMF, and I haven't seen any action on that yet.
so did Star Trek:TOS, but that didnt stop its release on HD DVD.
most things are recorded on film, which has a higher resolution than 1080p, it just has to be remastered to a Digital HD file.
E* reports earnings next week
on 05/13/2008 (Tuesday) afternoon. They might need some launched HD channels to back up their 100/100 plan to shareholders. I am curious what they will report to shareholders. Everyone including D* has reported growth in video sub base (except Comcast which was lost only 57,000 subs). The estimate was .52/share.
I don't know. It seems a little premature since the transponders don't even exist yet and moving a satellite there will take quite some time.
I agree.
IMHO the dishHD (only) package was/is designed to retain current E* HD customers and attract D* HD customers as the HD channel lists get more equal. D* HD subs can save money and get a better DVR.

Making the National Hd live on friday gives Dish time to fullly test the uplink and insure their are no bugs---Make the pq and sound the best it can be.
I believe there is a DBS satellite there that use to be owned by DirecTV but now is owned by Telesat. DirecTV uses only 16 TPs there, the even ones I believe and Dish signed an agereement with TeleSat lease 16 TPs there when a new satellite is launched there next year. Who knows though, maybe Dish will be allowed to use the TPS sooner but it would be ironic that Dish would lease TPs on and old DirecTV satellite.
So, what is EchoStar planning on doing with "EchoStar 9" now that they have moved everything from 121 ??
They can't move the satellite as Intelsat owns the non-Ku part.
So are they going to sell the Ku part ?

Since it is FSS band and leasing is quite active these days, occasional traffic, etc.
