"In June, Food Network HD will make its debut on EchoStar Communications Corp.’s Dish Network in front of 3 million homes. Food president Brooke Johnson said the network is engaged in conversations with other distributors over carriage."

Not a big fan of Food Network (tho' I do watch it sometimes). However, it'll be another chance to hear my wife say "Man, I'm glad you got the HDTV/Sat when you did....". Every little bit helps....maybe Charlie is doing the same....looking for HD that holds the wife's interests.

Agreed.... plus I think Food HD will be HDlite which means the channel is on a diet anyway!! :
