HD Channel List: Dish Network vs DirectTV

[DodgerKing]

I can sit here and ramble on like some but the facts are the fact and they have spoken.
Where you like them or not the channel counts speak for them self.

I have said nothing to the contrary. Look back on ALL of my post on ALL of the threads on this particular topic and you will see that I have said on just about every single one of them that Dish is now the true basic national HD leader and premium HD leader.

Stop turning this thread into a war Guys.
There are tons of other places this can be done.

Thanks for taking care of the updates Fergie. I've been away at Myrtle Beach since Friday but I got back in tonight.

Your Welcome ... tbenning changed the formula's (which I have not gotten into yet) but am going to learn... we have 2007 at work now and I hate it, could use the earlier versions much better

A thing that you can do that will help when adding a new channel to the list that neither D* or E* already have is to click on a cell containing a channel name. Then left click and hold the mouse button and then drag the mouse over both the E* and D* channel number so that the 3 cells are highlighted. Then right click and select the insert option. Take the "shift cells down" option. All of the formulas should automatically adjust themselves so that when you put a channel number in one of the new cells under the E* or D* column, all of the totals should update automatically.

Thanks! I'll try that... (or let you or tbenning update )

Latest verison to reflect D* adding BET HD. HD PPV channel 138 gave it's life so that BET HD can live. Personally I wish we had got ESPNU HD instead.

Thanks for the update! we went to Office 2007 at work so I use Excel with forumulas everyday now... this pc has it also...learning.

Updated to add MSNBC HD for E*

I'm glad they finally got MSNBC and BET on there. They have a lot of channels left though, and they are moving at a snails pace.

It is pretty annoying when I talk to people about HD content. Most believe DirecTV has more HD content than every other provider. Seriously though, with Dish currently having 22 more National HD channels than DirecTV, WOW that is a huge difference.

I'm always talking to a friend that installs DirecTV systems, and asks me why don't you drop Dish for DirecTV because DirecTV beats Dish in HD channels. Wrong Not even close, and without Versus I would never switch to DirecTV.

I'm a huge NHL Fan, and I'd be really BENT without access to the NHL playoff games.

Some Dish Exclusives caps...

It'll be interesting to see how Direct responds once the new bird is ready to go. It'll also be interesting to see how quickly Dish implements "phase 2" and what that entails. Will they push to expand the gap in national HD content before Direct closes it or will they wait? Either way, interesting times are on the horizon.

Dfergie,

On your Channel comparisons I didn't see Versus HD on the list.
