The fine print on the flux capacitor commercial

[gdarwin]

"The number of channels subject to HD programming"..

There ya' go... D*'s out...

This is the Dish forum, not the D* bashing forum....

 

[gdarwin]

Didn't intend to bash. First fine print I have every seen on the issue.

You don't need to read the fine print. The commercial only promises "capacity". Not that they carry 3 times the HD. Only that they will be able to.

PersonallyI don't like to watch capacity.

But yeah this belongs ina D* thred but even there the question of avaialability of programming has been discussed.

...funny thing is, the masses are only hearing about the capacity. Every D* friend I have is all excited about the dozens/hundreds/whatever HD channels that D* is "promising" them. Too funny.

Nobody seems to know that E* has more channels now, they're into the hype!


OT; man the 622 guide is soooooo much nicer than the old 501/508 guides I had. I used to be embarrassed when any of my Tivo friends would come over and see that archaic looking menu system I had!

Directv has better commercials and actors in them , than Dish. Dish's commercials are amateurish in comparision. That is why Dish is not getting any credit for having over 31 hd national channels. NObody knows about it. But I bet you that most of the public knows about "Doc Brown " and his flux capacitor and how it relates to Directv's future hd capacity.

I'm not bashing, but who cares what the capacity is. I don't want promises, I want content.

I don't remember seeing a Dish commercial for some time now. The flux capacitor is on every channel every hour it seems. Both versions sometimes.
The E* that unmemorable???
