New channels

[Slamminc11]

Do people expect new HD channels every week? Wow! I know there are some channels Dish Network doesn't have and people want, like ESPNU, etc but wow this amazes me.

it is pretty amazing, I have to agree...

NC PBS is in HD on cable but not on Dish. Other locals are in HD.

PBS is HD on most cable channels nationwide, but mostly not on Dish. there are reasons for this and most of them involve transponder space.....

Dish is launching 25 HD channels, YES, ESPNU HD next week. Of course they will all be at 82.5° location which will require all new receivers, dishes and cabling and is totally incompatible with anything you own!

I called and DISH told me to upgrade they wanted $350 million and a lifetime contract.They told me they had to upgrade me to the Super Duper Dish to replace my Dish 500 and they had to launch the satellite into orbit. They had an open appointment for Friday between 8-12.

If I had DHPP, it would only be $15.

Kewl. Will that take a 25 year commitment and a $5000 Dish it Up upgrade fee?

Free installation? Probably comes with a $300 installation fee and 5 years commitment. Oh and no guarantees that they might move the channels to their new satellite launching next year which will require a new dish and new receivers again.
