Speed's HD promo page

[Scheky]

Have you seen Speed's HD promo page. Look who's on top of the list. Looks like they're still negotiating.

How do you figure that from looking at the list? The way I see it is they listed the one DBS company 1st without it, then all the cable companies, then the two telco's.

The list on the right top of the advertisement shows the present providers. The list at the bottom of the advertisement shows the ones that DO NOT carry SPEED. The telephone numbers are there for you to call and ENCOURAGE your provider to sign up for SPEED.

So basically, Directv is the only major provider that has Speed HD.

It isn't only Dish that doesn't have it.

DIsh needs to get with the program and pickup SPEED HD!!!

I can figure that out. My comment was directed to the OP that said Looks like they're still negotiating and wondering how he determined they were still negotiating?

I don't think they are still negotiating. I am sure it is a capacity issue at this point. Just like everything else.

 

[belawrence]

So basically the only current carriers of Speed HD are D* and a few "podunk" cable companies?

No they don't. Waste of bandwidth.

How can you possibly be from Indy and not want the Speed Channel HD - something is definitely wrong with this picture

Agreed with 100%
Indy is a cool city, they have the Indy 500, Brickyard and tons of cool race stuff there.

LOL - I've lived here 17 years and I've never been to a race... I just can't imagine it being interesting. I usually DVR the 500 and watch the pre-show ceremony for all the tradition, the opening few laps, and the last half hour.

I say they drop a few of the extra sports channels that have nothing on them 99% of the time and put some usable channels on them instead. I hate looking through the HD guide and seeing all the wasted space for PPV HD and NHL CI channels that have nothing on them.

No wasted space... If nothing is showing it is not using any transponder space.

SpeedHD is low priority since there are many more popular channels...heck, even Lifetime Movie Network HD probably has more than 10x as many viewers.

No they don't. Waste of bandwidth.

Speed HD ,(Pinks) Spike HD (Power Block)and USA HD (Monday Night Raw)are necessary if you have any Testosterone flowing through your veins

 

[BuddyBoy]

No they don't. Waste of bandwidth.

Sounds like someone is waiting for Oxygen-HD and WE-HD.

Nope. Logo HD.

IMHO, Dish missed the boat on this one. They could have had a HUGE promotion for Speed HD IF they would have rolled it out in conjunction with Speed going HD.

Missed alot of Daytona coverage because they did not.
