Just curious...but are you making up a June 1 deadline for this poll, or was there some rumor or indication that June 1 (like May 1) might bring good things?
I also voted none.
AFAIK There is no magic to June 1st, other than it is Sunday evening. And I posed the poll question in terms of how many National HD channels would be available by next Monday AM. FWIW I picked Monday AM as the cutoff since Dish has recently made HD available as late as Sunday PM.

Cool, I hear you.

I guess you'd have to think if they have these 20 temp channels up there, even though with nothing on them.....that is a sign of something coming.

Let me close my eyes and concentrate....huummm hummm hummm......looking into the future....the date that comes to my mind....June 20. Mark your calendars....let's see if I'm psychic!
 
Full Monty - but can we get the TV edit, PLEASe!

((of course I am also the kind of guy who, in the family football "pick-em", picks the eagles to win every week and all other teams in the nfc east to loose - or tie if two division foes are playing each other))
 
The poll is still open.

Dish could still light up 20+ new National HD channels before Monday AM. They've done it before :) Or they could keep fiddling around implementing the Eastern Arc. Or some of both.

FWIW I've been capturing screen dumps of the voting progress. Interestingly, the percentages have remained pretty consistent. I'll post some of the snaps when the poll closes Sunday evening.
