My 18 month contract with Dish ends 10/15/2008.
What HD channels do you think Dish will have added by that date?
What about Sci-Fi and USA? Is November 15, 2008 soon?
By Nov 2008 they plan to add quite a few HD channels. Almost certainly the 7 currently "uplinked" which include the two you asked about. They are talking 100 "national" channels this year and many HD Local markets.
