While I do realize that in the long term both Dish and Direct will have about the same number of hd channels. In the short term, How much room does Dish have to put up more national hd channles? The way Dish has been up linking hd channels someone can tell how much room they have for a full time national hd channel. Yes, I know there are not a lot out there but I do not want to hear we cannot get a certain channel because there is not enough room. Not until the new birds fly.
