A friend recd this message from DirectTV below. Notice MSG HD on here. Dish needs to finalyl offer this. If direct can offer (who has had a bad relationship with Cablevision), so can Dish. No excuses.

great list of channels but most are not active on D* yet. I am sure E* can come up with the same list and said we will add these in the future. One thing is to add them in the future and another is to add them now.

A list is only as good as the paper it's written on.

Cartoon net HD

An associate at work was asking what type of automation/servers we are putting in? The reason for his question is that he has a friend that works for Cartoon net & they are in the process of putting in there HD "modules" for the move to HD.

With Hockey season starting, that one channel is what is going to make me switch back to DTV. When Dish adds it, Ill be back.
