Dish now has 76 national hd channels?

[capman]

So dish says they have 76 national hd channels and plan to expand that to 100. Which channels are they counting? I would only count the 24/7 hd channels. Even with including voom, I only counted about 40. That was including the premiums.

I beleive they are also counting the channels that are sports channels.

Thats because the other 36 of them say "Check back often to see if your favorite team is playing in HD". Dish is clearly the HD leader in channels that have this phrase on it.

They include national HD, Regional Sports Networks, and Pay-Per-View channels to make up their count. With AT250 or AEP, you get about 2/3 of the channels they claim to have. Directv does the same thing with their channel counts.
