Thanks for the link Scott. The guy that wrote the article messed it up. They say the customer switched from D* to E*, and in the next paragraph they say he switced from E* to D*, but he's happy because he got new equipment. So in actuality--the switch was from D* to E*.

Slacker will be happy about this news, and it makes D* more enticing for those of us who live in Colorado.

side note: autosig says "at Top Dogs" and I think you mean "are Top Dogs".

Sorry but if it's not in HD, I won't watch. SD sports are excruciating hard to view.

You betcha I'm happy! IF, and that seems to be a weaker and weaker if, the NHL hits the ice this year I can now get my games! SD Sports are tough to swallow now, how quickly we get spoiled!
