The Need for SPEED (HD) -- Launches Thursday

[Gorbash]

Austin channel is doubled and out of focus????
What ??? a please elaborate???

When ever I watch the Austin ABC feed through Dish, the picture looks doubles, or ghosted I guess would be a better term. And it is terribly out of focus. I know that seems wrong, but that is the way it looks through my receiver. This is the fourth receiver I've had (replaced because the HDD keep crashing), and ABC always looks this way. At least for me.

On Topic:
Last nights Bud Shootout was awesome. I'm hoping this is a sign that this'll be Jr.'s season. Stewart had a really strong car as well, just not the team support that Jr. had.

Is this a fact? If so, thank GOD!

Yeah they pulled Rusty out of the booth, I believe they are going to put Dale Jarrett in there when they take over. DJ will do a much better job than Rusty is capable of doing.And as far as the guys cheating, heck everybody pushes the envelope in the gaage, if you dont, you will never be competitive

Looking forward to DJ in the booth.

Can Waltrip be next?

You will know when it happens though, you will hear a large popping sound from his head coming out of Earnhardt's a$$.

Bogity, Bogity, Bogity..................Please just shut up!

Are you kidding? The entire Fox team is head and shoulders better than the other network crews, and DW is the best of them all!

The guy sucks, he is a cartoon character. Hopefully Jarrett will be as good as his dad, because he, Jenkins and Parsons were the best crew EVER.

You seem to have strong opinions about DW. All I can say is that there are a whole lot of people who would beg to differ with you on this one!

 

[Poke]

Yeah DW is not all that great..

Yeah, I miss Bob Jenkins, Dr. Jerry Punch, Benny, & the rest of the old school ESPN crew!

I sent an email to Dish concerning the Speed Channel and offering it in HD. I explained to them that I was trying to make a decision as to whether to stay with Dish since this channel is important to me. This is the response that I received.

Dear Tom,
Thank you for your email. Specific information regarding your request for Speed and other channels being available in HD is not currently available. We would like to add HD option for other channels, to make viewers like you happy, but we do not know if or when this will happen. We will gladly forward your request to our Programming Department for further consideration.
We thank you for your input as we continually review our options in order to provide a compelling lineup for our viewers. Please stay tuned for consumer Charlie Chats that are broadcast monthly on Channel 101 or logon to our website for future programming announcements.

I'd really like to see how they came up with "No one currently has more national HD channels than DISH Network"

 

[MikeF]

Thanks for sharing the E* response, Tom. I especially like the "but we do not know if or when this will happen" part. Unlike E* I know what will happen if I don't see Speed before the Rolex and ALMS starts in March. I hope D* has some kind of promotion going in that time frame.

Drugs. It must be drugs. No matter how you count channels, you can't come up with a way that E* has more national HD than D*.

 

[WiCkeDuDe]

That message should be signed:

I agree that the FOX does a better job with NASCAR than anybody else. I'm not crazy about the "Boogity, boogity, boogity...." stuff, but I think DW does a good job and seems to have a grip to what is happening on the track... Of course, he should from years of being on the track.

[Cyclone]

Yeah, I just have to tune out that Boogity stuff for the 10 seconds. It only hurts for a moment.


I have D* HD at work, and I was able to DVR the weekends races. They of course just look like FOX but with Speed logos. Sure wish that Dish Network would pick this up soon.
