On the front page:

Santa Bringing New HD for DISH Network Customers?

Rumor alert... it looks like Santa may be delivering a little holiday cheer to DISH Network customers a little early this year. Look for a special HD delivery from Santa tomorrow before 5 PM ET!

What I am thinking (LOL):
(1) Does anyone know what channels are expected to launch in HD on Dish?
(2) If not, what channels would you like to see?

My thoughts (and I am not confirming anything is true about what I am saying because this is news to me):
I wonder if ABC Family will be back in HD for their Christmas specials.
I would not mind MoviePlex still just to complete the three "Plex" channels, and I know some may say it plays some of the same programming. However, East and West feeds do. In addition, I saw The Family Stone was on the local Ion, Ion East, Ion West, and FX at the same time but with some time off. I have nothing against The Family Stone, but did it have to be on four channels at the same time?

I would not mind seeing anything new. It seems like it has been a while.

I am not sure, but Scott posted that it was a rumor on the front page.

Best Xmas present for me from Charlie, et al would be getting rid of the HD and DVR fees!
Not going to happen though.

I am not into the whole 3D thing, but I can understand if you have a 3D TV. So, I hope you get at least one channel that is 3D.

How about the extreme receiver fees alone? I feel your pain, though.

I'm still holding out hope for Outdoor Channel HD.

I love the programming, but I hate paying a-la-carte for SD!!!!

It was up in testing, but I think it went away although I cannot confirm that.
I agree with what you are saying. Wasn't it $1.99 a la carte, and now it is $3.00? Does Sportsman Channel come in HD if you buy it a la carte?

One of the benefits of Pub Membership is that the rumors are posted there first. I'm sure Scott will post the rumored channel(s) later today.

 

[whitewolf8214]

Are you saying it is only one channel?

 

[Chris36]

It's probably Movie Plex that's my guess.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

It's probably Movie Plex that's my guess.

That is coming tomorrow as well but not in HD.

Got to be honest I have never really heard of the new HD channel that is coming tomorrow to be honest with you. But its an HD channel no less.

 

[Chris36]

Oh I would think it would my friend has it on cable in HD that's strange oh well.
