I guess I'm a big sports fan(especially college football)so I'm struggling to think of an HD channel that Dish has recently added that would be more welcome then ESPNU-HD. In the past couple years the game selection was a little less then stellar, but it could be more compelling now that ESPN has a new contract with the SEC.
Agree, now that they have the SEC contract this is a "must have" channel for me. Charlie and I share our love for UT so hopefully he will come through!
Areed. Except insert my Auburn Tigers where you have your Vols.
If we get this hd channel my hd world will be complete.
Why not anytime soon? Wasn't Dish quick to add ESPNews once it started broadcasting in HD? Seems like they have a good relationship with the ESPN family of networks.
same with Disney HD, Toon Disney HD, and ABC Family HD. I'm surprised they still don't have ESPNU
Ive inquired about this on the forum and the email (ceo@echostar.com)
to no avail. THis is a channel that alot of people want for college football(myself included)!!!

Since we already won't have CSS for their 6 exclusive SEC games, the least they could do would be throw us a bone for the ESPNU HD games
Oh man... We have like 6 weeks until football season. I hope they add it. Methinks it's time to start pestering E*!
It would really be a huge coup for Dish to get this one before Direct, you'd think they'd be all over the chance to add that to their claims of sports parity
Time to get this channel lit up dish. I wish you would take the lead for once before Direct tv does!:up
:k:

It would be a nice advantage if Dish could get it in HD before Direct
My understanding is that a contract for this HD channel is signed and done. However, dish does not have to pay anything for the channel until they actually make it available to subs. In other words, dish is probably holding off in order to save the $$ for now. My guess is that they'll make it available right before the next rate hike (feb 2010?).
No more than we wish we could.
btw. Too many graphics when showing a sporting event in HD means too much clutter. I want my screen showing just the event with NO graphics or ticker. I am sure I am in the majority on this one. ESPN2 HD did a really nice job at this years Wimbledon by doing away with the ticker. A really clean screen!!!
