My point it's ridiculous trying to compare hd offerings mid next year from the various providers now, going by vague press releases and speculation. Directv still has a lot of work to do to become the best option for hdtv, and one should not assume the other providers will add nothing.
E* not many. What are their announce plans to add more capacity? Apparently they are at capacity or they would be adding more channels as we type. Hell E* cannot even add LiL or RSN or A&E like they claim.
And since when is it required to announce new channel lineups more than 6 months ahead of time or the acquisition of further satellite capacity? You have no idea what dish will be offering then, or any provider.
But I'm sure you think all other providers will sit around and do nothing while directv becomes the hd leader......right.
It appears E* has more channels in HD...D* has more QUALITY...is that right? I've read several places that both HD and SD picture quality on DISH, esp. LiL locals, has seriously degraded the last few months.
This depends on Who owns them ...well, tbs, possible, but comedy central and spike will go bankrupt before they get HD studios
The "Other guy's only have a sat that they bought that thier HD is on, it can only handle so many channels, unless tehy change their stratagy for delivering their HD channels
No, that Voom sat is not their main HD provider- I don't know that they are using it for HD at all. They already had a sat at 61.5 - & at 129, providing HD.
Have you seen ANYWHERE any info about DISH building their own Sats and having them in development stage to be launched ??????
At least D* is making progress, slowly but surely.

Thats right, I forgot the 61 sat., 61 and 129, quite a streach, no wonder you can't get DISH on one dish.
Jimbo
The next time you come down for a hockey game come back over to the house and see my Dish HD with a single dish the size of a phase III!
I'll do that !
You have 1 dish that goes from 61 to 129 ????
What is it , about 40 inches wide ?
Jimbo
sad to say it but "mid 2007" comment makes me happy I switched. As mentioned above they always roll out slow it seems so my 18 month contract will be within a couple months of being up and I can come back to D* if they had their HD house in order then.
No, you want EITHER 129 or 61.5 for HD, not both. Dish has 2 dishes, the 1000 and the 1000+ for getting 110, 119 & 129, which will pretty much cover almost everyone's needs.
And yes, I believe Dish has another sat going up the end of 2007 and one more planned after that. And they are leasing space on 129, which will be replaced by the owner.

If this is the case, hows come no one has mentioned it ?
Do you suppose DISH saw the grief that D* is taking for letting the public know about thier future plans ?
I bet D* doesn't tell people about big changes comeing next time until just before it happens.
