OK. I've decided to be real optimistic. Lets say not only those 7 get converted, but the old Golf/VS combined channel gets turned converted. And the 4 HDPPVs on 110 are converted. That could get us 12 channels. And I think we get Viacom stations and comcast stations, plus a few more miscellaneous.
That would also leave Fox (FX, Fox News, Fox Business, and Speed) and Rainbow (IFC, AMC, and WE) left. Conveniently enough, one TP worth, with no more launches out of those 2. (Yes, I know I forgot Fuel, bit I bet Dish will avoid carrying this one). But Dish will probably have to move some internationals of 61.5 to free one up. Or fire TP17 back up as CONUS.

7 Voom channels!!!!
Sorry, I couldn't help myself.
Everyone here knows you couldn't...
I would get that nervous twitch of yours looked at if I were you...
OK, check that Comedy Central prediction. Rumor was it was coming on line next week. However, I was just checking into it's availability and went onto the Cox Gulf Coast site, who had previously announced its availability. While most of the channels they announced were coming 12/17 as planned, it had this note about Comedy Central:
But we can all hope.

The additional of 12 channels would be impressive. The Viacom channels would be nice to have (I'm assuming that they will begin to show HD content SOON). And I'm in favor of adding as many Cinemax channels as possible. Can't beat free HD movie channels.
If they only add 7, they can claim that they added 10. There are the 7 new temp channels + VS, Golf, and the PT-RSN Cox Sports New Orleans.
That is correct, Cox Sports Television New Orleans is at orbital position 129 (channel 5421/map down 421) game only.

I think it was coming soon, but then the AMC 14 Satellite did not reach it proper orbit,
limiting HD channel capacity.
I think they need to add Fox News HD. There are a lot of potentials who would go to D* because it has it in HD. if you want the all HD lineup, not having Fox News is a problem for a LOT of people.
DISCLAIMER: I am not one of those people wanting it. I do want more subs for the health of the company.

Space86,
AMC14 not reaching orbit has nothing to do with Limiting HD additions. Dish currently has plenty of bandwidth to offer new channels.
The biggest issue is the lack of new HD retransmission contracts. Rainbow and Fox networks are in litigation with Dish this means no new Rainbow or Fox owned channels until the litigation is settled.
AMC HD, IFC HD, are Rainbow network channels so they are NOT coming soon, neither are the Fox owned channels coming soon; Speed HD, FX HD, Fox News HD, Fox Business HD.
The likely additions will likely be Viacom channels, as well as likely more Showtime Networks HD channels. CMT is a Viacom channel, although CMT HD has absolutely NO HD content for months.

That makes more sense, so we would probably get Nick HD and MTV HD and some of the Showtimes in HD?
CMT is the only Viacom channel that I would watch, so Dish needs to come up with some other agreements with their enemies. I mean the broadcasters.
