Hey, i know we all like diff stuff, but to me,3 of the 5 channels - MGM, Smithsonian, and Tennis Channel are WAY more important than SciFi, USA, or FX. I'll watch SciFi for the last season of BSG, but that's pretty much it, USA, and FX I never, ever watch.
That being said, i hope we get the SciFI, USA, and FX pretty damn quick too.
Since when do we believe Dish Commercials, I see one everyday that they say their the HD Leader!
Yeah, it was a HD tech chat about hardware, not software.On the hardware, or should I say software enabled hardware, there was "summer 08" for the EHD VIP 211. That's about all I learned on that chat. Speaking of which, do we know what the fees for such an EHD will be? $40 plus DVR fee?
Plus we're eventually gonna get the EHD better incorporated into the DVR menu with folders, this will be a be great addition if you're currently using an EHD you know what i mean...quite a pain if you have something like 24 episodes of 'The Brotherhood' archived like I do. Also, sure would be great if E* ignored the "The" and "A" in titles for sorting...way too many movies start with "The", and a bitch to find them currently...
Tech chats seldom focus on programming. It was what I thought it would be. Maybe I am ina bad mood but i am tired of all the speculation.
From eOnline:About the "I'll watch SciFi for the last season of BSG"....I don't think you will!
BATTLESTAR GALACTICA What We're Hearing: The crown jewel of the Sci Fi Channel should finish out its fourth and final season, but per writer Jane Espenson, it's almost certain that, schedule-wise, the story will be split into two separate miniseasons. The show completed 14 episodes before the strike hit, and at least the first 10 will air beginning Apr. 4. The second batch could premiere in the fall or even sometime in 2009.
I actually meant as an E* subscriber that I didn't think that he would watch the last season in HD...
Apparently this entire thread was for nada. I think we got more out of the Poop guy than we did from E*.
And that is based on what ?
March 31st, Sky Angel will no longer be using two transponders at 61.5 and in April (if things go according to plan), there will be a new satellite in that slot.
Keeping churn down is the appropriate action for a CEO, and is entirely legitimate and respectable. No one has lied, and Charlie has said on numerous occasions (almost exact quote): " If you need that channel, then you should subscribe to DirecTV. "
But, I can tell you that it is certain that they don't have the capacity right now and they've been unsuccessful in certain negotiations.
Neither of those means that there will be no HD channels, just that it will be less than they would like.
In fact, it seems likely to me that - 24 hours from now - the discussion will shift to "Why the new HD channels suck"...

Don't count on it
Except that they did clear space for certain channels and certain channels have been seen unencrypted on Dish's satellites.
So if Dish is holding back on adding channels that they could add today just because they want to make some big announcement later or something, they need to get a clue.
Something exciting must be happening 2day as Digiblur has not posted today's uplink. Don't keep us in suspense Digi. I can't wait to get Dish Info HD.
Uplink does not come out for a few about 15 or 20 minutes. 
Again I can tell you no new HD today.
The big thing this week will be moving the HD RSN's in the guide from the 300 channel range. (No... unfortunately no additional HD RSNs in todays change and yes I am waiting for NESN HD just like everyone else)
