I disagree . Scott is usually right.......eventually.. he just misses the datesThese threads are full of posts asking Scott what the latest info is or even worse posts quoting Scotts latest prophecy as if it were on stone tablets. It is just sad that Scott has so much clout with the readers of this forum when he has NEVER got any "inside info" that panned out. On top of that I have read quite a few posts that say something like "sounds like Scott knows something he's not telling us". WHAT?!? He tells too much and I am still waiting for one to be right.
A broken clock is right twice a day yet Scott is NEVER right. So I think it is time to stop the "sources tell me" post.
There is nothing wrong with him or anyone else posting "I think we will" or "my gut tells me" predictions. But when you add validity to your post by quoting an "inside source", you had better be right more than you are wrong. Of course here everyone is quick to clear Scott by saying DISH changed their plans.
If this site functioned like DBS talk, this and similar threads would have been closed. Fortunately, it isn't and everyone has the freedom to express their opinion even though some seem to thrive on personalizing their comments. The simple solution is...if you don't like what you read here, leave the site and go somewhere else. I'm glad I am smart enough to weed through all the garbage to get to the information I really want without expectation and judgement. I appreciate any and all useful information I can get and, best of all, it's free.
One example is all I am asking for.
I think the fact that NO ONE can point to a time Scott said "my sources tell me" and it came true should be an eye opener.
Ads, you're right, I don't see them. I supported this site by joining the pub so no adds for me.

You know, you could just avoid those posts and not view or comment on them one way or the other.
As for inside info that has panned out. The launch schedule of HD LiLs this past month. He's been spot on those, before Dish has confirmed releases.
Even if you don't think that's enough, GET OVER YOURSELF. I personally appreciate the effort he puts in to get us info. I don't expect rumors to right all the time and honestly come to this site to learn what there is to know (even if it is speculative). It's an entertaining way to pass some time. your accusations and tones are greatly taking away from the positive experience I get from this site.
He has no other forum to go to where he can share his fresh, steaming pile of opinion on a regular basis.
He still hasn't told if he really wants his account closed or not. I'll be happy to oblige him.
See ya

In the past 3 week Dish Network has uplinked over 100 HD channel. Sure the majority of them are local channels but they are STILL HD channels.
So to me Dish DID make good on adding a lot of HD channels in April. Of course out of those 100 HD channels they did uplink only 3 of them were national HD channnels. Would I personally want to see more national HD channels? Hell ya.
I know Dish is currently testing ESPNNEWS HD, TOON DISNEY HD and DISNEY HD and I have heard that these channels could be here as soon as Friday (although I personally wouldn't expect to see them before next Friday since the testing just started on them)
If you are a fan of any of those three channel you will be happy, but if your not your going to gripe that they are wasting space by adding crap. Hell I know I will see some folks posting (and being serious) griping about the fact that Dish Network does not carry QVC HD.
Everyone will have a different opinion of what good HD channels are and what HD channels they want.
I have said it before but I will say it again, HDTV is like sex, you always want MORE!
Did Dish Network put up a lot of HD in April? For some 100 channels is a lot for a company to put up (and its a lot of work to put up that many channels in that amount of time) but for others the only thing they can see are that 3 HD channels were added in April.
No matter which way you see it you are both correct, its like the glass if half full or half empty depending on how you look at it.
Now as far as you deciding to leave Dish for DirecTV, that is something YOU must decide, do whats best for YOU. And don't let me stop you.
At the beginning of April lthe majority of posts about HD were about USA and SCIFI, many of those folks were going to jump ship are now happy because they finally got what they wanted. Will Dish have your favorites soon? Thats hard for me to say, and honestly I think its hard for Dish to say.
The rumor is that Dish is getting ready to relaunch EVERY channel they carry in MPEG4 with the "Eastern Arc" Project. There is a lot of work being done in prep to get this up and ready, its a huge and amazing undertaking.
Understand I am not making excuses for Dish, I personally think they were dumb not to launch USA and SCIFI when they first uplinked them last year. Why did they sit on them so long? The issue has never been space as the space was clearly available. The holdback also had nothing to do with AMC14 as these channels were uplinked so long ago on the 110 satellite.
Finally some folks do not like me posting rumors. I am sorry to say that if you don't like me posting rumors then don't let the door hit you on the ass on the way out. We do something here that no other site does and I have no intention of changing that. If something is labeled as a rumor then take it as that a rumor. I will keep my ear to the ground and will continue to report what I hear. In addition I will continue working to bring you things that no one else does, including coverage of Team Summit and putting SatelliteGuys members face to face with folks from the satellite companies.
With that said, there are interesting time ahead and I hope everyone will stick with us so you can read it here first hand instead of reading it someplace else days or weeks later.
I am proud of SatelliteGuys and I am proud of where we are headed.

You want less "post calling for no more inside info posts" and I want less "inside info posts". Are we so different?
And we are proud of you and what you have accomplished here, Scott. Don't let "those having tantrums" get to you.
