Also. Everytime they say they are the leader in HD, I wanna reach through my tv and bitchslap them.

If they would just tell us their plans to compete with D* I wouldn't care. But they are acting like D* isn't stomping them right now.

I think the one you thought was Erie is Cleveland Ohio.

Than someone at Dish needs to learn how to make a map.

Did they offer a 510 for $29???

Yes, that is what I saw as well... $29 to BUY a 510. Where? When? How??

What good is it to have the FSN in HD when every NBA basketball game on it is blacked out?

 

[Spaz]

Wow why did they bother with that... Nothing new and full of worthless ADs about the companies sling box. They might as well rename the hour to "Charlie's hour of ads"

He is acting like there is no Direct tv..."Nobody does HD better"....WTF? Is he living in his own world or what?

The green are whats in place today Yellow upcomming markets.

Green= current

Yellow= coming

also they must already be counting scifi and usa HD

 

[BoisePaul]

I can't believe the only new HD local market in Pennsylvania is going to be Erie. What's wrong with Scranton? (DirecTV is getting Scranton for sure, and possibly as early as the first week of January according to one source.)

Looks like Erie to me as well. W-B/Scranton would be nice, seeing how D* is supposed to have it by mid-2008 if you look at the press releases (or as soon as 1/3/2007 depending on the source you look at and how much you trust it.) This will be the deciding factor on whether I jump ship - if I can drop Comcast lifeline which I currently have for HD locals, I'll actually be ahead price-wise to switch AND will have much more HD (sorry Poke, I appreciate your optimism, but it's more than just a "few" HD channels defining the gap at the current time).

I have no idea what the green dots for Texas represent let alone the yellow ones.

I think I could pick out Lubbock or possibly Odessa/ Midland and Amarillo...others not sure about...

I saw that... and think I caught in a soundbyte...

 

[Drone35]

What a bunch of Goober Heads, Charlie chump!

 

[dfergie]

Texas ... maybe Midland / Odessa and Lubbock from the looks of it...add my guess's

 

[KE4EST]

This was the most boring Charlie Chat that I have ever watched. I know people say they are all boring but I have been watching them for years this takes the cake.

 

[dfergie]

I watched in segments afterward's, was busy putting this together... but Yes... Glad I have an alternative...

 

[KE4EST]

Yeah me too my eyes were glued to the SatGuys chat even though I had to restart a few times just to get in.

I can't believe people are putting stock into that map. It's clearly no an indicator of anything other than what 100 dots look like overlaid on a US map with no regard for actual geography.

The idea that Wyoming, the Dakota's, and 2 Montana DMAs are getting HD local while a decently large market like Tucson, AZ isn't planned is absurd.

 

[dfergie]

Look at Oklahoma...(in the Tx Map)

Not so absurd...I live in the 6th largest DMA and there were several smaller DMA's that got their HD local before we did.

 

[dfergie]

True, Albuquerque(minus KRQE(thanks LIN)) has been up since March of 06...
Nevada map...

 

[mankindz]

That map didn't have Cleveland a top 20 market. We must be that mistake by the lake.
