umm they added atleast 10 channels this year!! It took d* 2 years to catch up!! So why not give them alittle timeWell, i guess nothing for this week. So that means that we will get finish the year with no new HD channels. I hope in January E* comes up with some HD...its getting beyond sad

As I said before I expect some HD just before we see the price increase in our bills.
Digi. I noticed that one of the hd ppv is off the air for 5 hours Sunday from 12 am. to 5 am central. Wonder if they could be testing something. Channel 539.
I don't think people forget they've added quite a few HD channels this year. I think what they are complaining about is E*'s obstinate refusal to outline their objectives for future programming. For all we know Charlie might feel that there are no new worthwhile HD channels to be added, or might be focusing on his "all-MPEG4 single-dish" solution to the detriment of additional national HD.
Yes, we are like spoiled kids who want to be acknowledged. But we're spoiled kids with money.
=NLK=
I can tell you their plans right now.
Their plan is to add as many new popular channels as possible, while not paying more than the market price, and to minimize the cost increases, so that they can minimize the price increases, since that produces churn.
Oh My God - this means that they don't know in advance which specific channels they will be adding.
Also remember that announcing any channel prior to conclusion of negotiations, means that their leverage is decreased.
Imagine going to a car dealer, and saying:
I guarantee that you will be paying $500-$3000 over the sticker price...
Even assuming you "know" what their plans are: that statement is so general as to be meaningless.
Don't know why you think they don't know in advance which [if any] specific channels they'll be adding. Even I only stated that WE have no idea if or when they'll be adding HD. I don't care what they know.
Am I to infer from your statement that you don't believe ANY negotiations have been concluded for ANY additional HD channels? In that case not only don't YOU know what E* will be adding, THEY don't even know.
Finally someone gets it...
PS In order to negotiate, you have to offer them something. E* has nothing to offer, until the next satellite is successfully launched, because they cannot commit to adding the channel to various tiers, packages, etc.
Does this mean when Dish throws one of those new hd packages at me in Feb., I can negotiate like they can and get a better price.

If you read various threads, you'll find that if you are a long-term customer who expresses extreme dissatisfaction to a CS rep, you often can get some sort of of credit or free months of HD or Premiums...
So, in a certain sense, the answer is yes...
!sadroll:yikes I know very very very few people that have pulled that off with cheapo charlie. His favorite saying is " Don't let thje door hit you on the way out"I tried that and it did not work (i have been a E* customer for 10 years).......by telling the CS that i might be switching to D*.....the CS reply was...."Well we are very sorry to hear that". I was just bluffing...i did not cancelled my account....i just sadly hang up the phone.
