maybe if one disects the statement they won't use it again:
DISH Network continues to be the leader in providing the best movies, sports and entertainment in High Definition.
1. What The Leader of Movies in HD? Give me an HD channel that DirecTv does not have right now in HD that makes Dish Network the Leader in HD Movies?
2. What The Leader in Sports in HD? Ok. Where is YES HD, where is Major League Baseball Extra Innings, Where is the NFL Sunday Ticket? These are just a few to mention. I am sure there is more. If anything I will crown DirecTv the undisputed HD Leader in Sports.
3. What the HD leader in entertainment? What makes you the HD leader in entertainment? What makes you different than DirecTv.
In order to provide customers with top quality entertainment, DISH Network continually evaluates and at times, makes changes to our channel line-up. We are excited to announce the addition of over 20 new high definition channels which will provide our customers the top rated channels
sure we were all excited about this until you screwed it all up.
including The Weather Channel HD, Disney HD East, Bravo HD and Cartoon HD.
Lets see:
1. The Weather Channel has the map in HD sometimes and about 1 to 2 hours of recorded HD. Hardly any live HD.
2. Disney HD East, yes I saw some HD on it but nothing to rave about. It is not like everything is HD. I'd bet 95% of it SD upconvert.
3. Bravo HD. I checked two days in a row and nothing HD I have seen.
4. Cartoon HD. I thought I saw HD but I was a fooled. They change the stretch-o-vision to try to fool you. Now jsixpack will say that is HD but nothing is HD in here. It is a place holder just like 5max.
As of result of these additions, we have removed some channels that are less popular with our customers. These channels are not available with any other satellite provider. The VOOM lineup removed consists of 15 HD channels.
what can you say you shot your self in the foot. you proclaim yourself the HD leader but yet cut down the HD content and now are less than your truly HD leader -- DirecTv.
Watch for even more high definition channels over the upcoming weeks as DISH Network grows to over 100 of the best national HD channels by end of year.
more SD upconverts.
