I have not heard anything from Dish on this, so I have nothing to add.
However with that said I am going to be headed to bed soon and I am hoping that maybe... just maybe when I wake up in the morning the new channels will be on.
Thank you to everyone for making this out busiest day EVER! The servers held up!

How would you like to be the lucky winner of the Nashville trip and still not have any details nearly 1 month later?

It looks like it will be April 1, 2010 before we will have the same discussion again.
I wonder if Rey will offer some thing if there is no new national HD by then.

Maybe Charlie saw this thread and saw Rey's free 922 offer. He probably posted to get his name on the list and then called the guy that throws the switch to activate the HD and told him not to turn it on today so he can get a free 922!
Scott, I owe you a sincere apology. I have given you a fair bit of grief for your "HD being added to DISH" rumors that never panned out before I made the switch. It seems that all of your misfires in the past could have come straight from Charlie, in which I would have reported them myself.I have not heard anything from Dish on this, so I have nothing to add.

Very soon after I arranged my install with Directv, DISH announced their plans to add Spike-HD on April 1st which coincided with the next Fight Night and season premiere of TUF, I thought that is just my luck (being bad luck). But I would be on a clock tower right now if I would have canceled my install and stayed with DISH just to be stuck with Spike in SD tonight.

JW, the trip that you actually won is to L.A. to be a contestant on this really cool game show called "Running Man".
cool. always wanted the chance to kill somebody. now I'll get the chance to do it legally!JW, the trip that you actually won is to L.A. to be a contestant on this really cool game show called "Running Man".
We all have been Charlie Rolled
lol.. i dont know whats worse Being Rick Rolled, or being Charlie Rolled
Earlier today, I thought "figures that today is my last full day with E* before cancelling tomorrow after our new D* install, and this also happens to be the day where we get a few good HD channels I've been waiting a long time for". I take that thought back!
It's 40 minutes to midnight, and it doesn't sound good. I had already had it with E*, but them not coming through on this is just so awful. DON'T SET A DATE IF YOU AREN'T 100% SURE YOU CAN DELIVER THE GOODS!
Even if the channels come in 5 minutes, then people would be upset with E* pushing to to the utmost limit. And technically "by april 1st" means that we should have had these cannels midnight last night on the 31st.
At least I know I'll be watching all these channels in HD tomorrow, just won't be with an E* dish!
As a huge company trying to keep customers, how about they set a date and actually deliver early?
E* just gives off the vibe that they really don't care. I swear they set dates just to get people excited and talking again, which ultimately gets some to keep E*, and some sign up for E* as they catch up a bit on national HD. Then on E*'s end, they just don't deliver.
They live off of empty, or belated, promises.
When the new HD does come, why do I have a feeling the days of seeing a bunch of new HD at once like last year are over?
Maybe CMT trickles in in a few days, VH1 maybe a week or two later. And the best ones will probably come last, maybe in a month or 2. Just have a feeling people aren't going to wake up with this nice wave of HD all at once.
