Eh, I guess its something, better then nothing right?

Not really, I don't watch TV to shop. I watch to relax, unwind and to be entertained. I don't need to make a career out of waiting for new channels. Same way with the majority of the people.
It's just one more thing Dish can make money on that costs them the least amount possible.
I realize that they would like to be able to release 20 or so HD channels all at the same time, but I have more respect for a business when they take care of the existing customers instead or trying to make every single thing they do a marketing ploy to gain new ones. Lots of us have been loyal for quite some time and are treated very poorly compared to someone that is just signing up.!protest
