MSNBC hd coming to Dish June 29

[?Sa?dma???]

This would be another opportunity where the phrase "You got Ergened" would fit quite nicely.

I think the phrase "You got Chucked" would be more appropriate

Something tells me there's no way Dish is going to add MSNBC HD to TurboHD... oh, well! Seriously considering moving back to cable - in my area I get almost as much HD as Dish is offering, including channels Dish is screwing us on, for only a little more than Dish wants for Classic+HD. At that point, it becomes voting with my feet since the cost is so little.

One wonders how many subscribers will need to leave to get this point across to Charlie.

I really hope that ESPNU hd gets here before this college football season.

+1, with Speed taken care of that's the only other missing national HD that's a must-have for me!

I can't wait, but we also have Cox, and the glacial HD add rate of Cox out here (they're upgrading the old Times Mirror systems) is outstanding. We're slated to get HGTV HD soon. We're likely the highest DMA where that channel isn't in HD on the incumbent cable company.

I am waiting for MSNBC HD, but I am confident Cox will be making us wait to 2010. It's almost to the point where I want to pull a Wilson, North Carolina (read about what they did with Time Warner). I would if I could.

Has anybody heard if or when Espnu HD will be lit up on E*

With some of the things I read today at Team Summit, if they want to make a splash and get the Direct Subs kind of riled up a ESPNUHD before they get it would be a great add

This now would leave Headline News or HLN as the last main news channel
that is not yet in HD, funny since CNN was the first news channel to go HD.

This is great news. I watch more MSNBC than anything. Chris, Keith, and Rachel are terrific.

Same here, I used to watch CNN the most, but now MSNBC more. It'll be good to have it in HD too.

Headline News HD coming soon I hope.

I'll be curious how much of MSNBC will be HD upon premier? I'd love to see the basic newcasts in HD, but i'll be curious to see if shows such as Keith Olberman, Chris Mathews and Rachel Maddow are broadcast in HD.

Headline News HD coming soon I hope.

Has there even been a rumor of that?

I've a feeling we won't see HLN in HD till CNN converts their Atlanta studios to HD.

I read an interview a while back from MSNBC president Phil Griffin that said that when MSNBC goes HD, they will go all the way. Wanting to get everything in HD is one of the reasons listed for being so late to get on board.

I assume the evening news shows at least will be in full HD. Means set redesigns etc.

Should be interesting.

Please keep the politics out of this thread!

Oh wait, never mind. Carry on then.

I don't watch CNBC, but if I did I wouldn't want them to change. I think the information they present on the sides and bottom of the screen is more useful than seeing their talking heads in HD....maybe its just me.

I like that, too. When a commercial is on I can divert my attention elsewhere.

I have to say i'm impressed with DISH that they have already committed to the HD feed of MSNBC. It seems tradition that some of the HD feeds arrive months after they've begun, nice to see DISH at the starting line on this one.

Anyone know if they have another satellite schedule to go up?
