Funny thing is, for some reason my favorite things to watch while I'm exercising are shopping channels. I have QVC-HD and HSN-HD on FIOS and they really look good. So while I think they'd be a plus on Dish there are quite a few others (e.g. WE-HD, ESPN/U-HD, Ovation-HD, to say nothing of the NY RSNs which I don't expect) which are higher on my list. All in all, however, if you discount NY sports, Dish has one of the best HD lineups around.
