Roanoke/Lynchburg HD and espn U-HD

[BrownHound]

I am trying to read through all the forums to find the answer but with no luck.... so here goes.

I know the Roanoke Lynchburg market was announced as "Early 2009", has anyone seen when that will go live? Any chance by the Super bowl? if not, how about by March Madness

also, why is dish not adding espn-U? they actually have some HD content and there is now way it could be an expensive channel to add...I mean come on....

why is dish not adding espn-U?

Most of ESPN-U game programming consists of re-runs of previously telecast games. Some of their studio shows seem to be original. (I'd like it in HD myself.)

Yet instead we have CBS-College Sports HD which shows maybe 2 hours of HD a week and everything else is stretch-o-vision.

ESPNU-HD this week has 6 games in HD
CBS-College Sports= 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Next week you ask? THE SAME! 6 to 1 ratio! Wanna know the week after that?

ESPNU= 4
CBS-CS=2

hey the week after that!

ESPNU=5
CBSCS= 1
