Like probably January 5th.

Which is when it becomes useless for months.

That would fit. Wasn't that what they did with the NFL-HD network - put it up after pre-season was over (which was the only compelling thing they were covering anyway)?

It's sort of like buying a Christmas tree on Dec 26th and we all know when it boils down to the "deal" vs the customer where Chuck stands

That is one thing that has always puzzled me about when satellite of cable companies add channels, and especially sports channels. They never take into account when the timing is right for a channel for the customer. All they care about is when it is good for them. The time for ESPN2HD is now, not in January, yet they do not care whatsoever. They will not add the channel until they are ready to. This is poor management and total disregard for what is good for the customer. Remember, a happy customer is a long standing customer, while an unhappy customer is a customer that is always looking to change for a better service.

Actually its good management trying to get the best possible deal on a channel!!! If you dont like it speak with your wallet!!

Not for nothing but this site has been blistering quick this morning, like it was before the problems arose. Damn near instant, especially posting. Loading a new topic sometimes hiccups for a second or two, but otherwise it's perfect.

SCOTT DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING =)>

Do you guys think that all those 110 and 119 transponder shuffling was to make room for these additional local channels? If so, what a false alarm in us thinking they're for HD or other type of channels coming!

 

[JohnH]

The shuffling was to make room for additional channels. I doubt that any of them are going to be HD.
