Anybody else wondering if Fuel HD could be coming since Fuel is uplinked in SD on channel 155? I would really enjoy having Fuel HD.
Rumor NO MORE!, SpeedHD, FX HD & More THIS WEEK! (NOW LIVE)

Seriously???
i just checked ask.com, there are 75 million Nascar fans (mostly all in the US), almost 1/3 the US population.why wouldn't Speed be popular? and then you have formula one fans,motocross fans,car collectors, anyone who enjoys cars (a lot more than 75 million) might enjoy programming on Speed to watch.
it hard to believe anyone who frequents these boards would not have an IDEA of the demand for this channel.
Let me explain how important Speed is at our house...
We don't watch NASCAR anymore. Seems like pro wrestleing these days.
However, we are so into F1 that the ONLY reason we* pay for Dish is for the F1 coverage on Speed.
Sure, we enjoy some of the other programming, but Speed is what keeps us paying our bill.
*We meaning my wife. She wants to drop pay TV to save money, but F1 keeps her from pulling the plug. If you could download races on Xbox, she'd do it & pull the plug.

I agree I don't give a rats about Nascar, but love F1, This is the only thing I watch Speed for.
I don't think I'd care about SPEED HD either. However, I'm glad to see it coming (hopefully), because so many people want it. In my unprofessional view, it would seem that these additions would up the ante in the competition game. Close competition should be a good thing for customers of both camps.
I am just saying. I do not understand the fascination with watching cars go around an oval hours at a time in pretty much the same position. Hey, but that is just me. I do realize it is popular, I just do not understand why. Glad to see the Dish motor sports fans are finally getting a channel that they enjoy.Seriously???

ETA: There are things I really enjoy doing: hiking, skiing, mountain biking, riding (motorcycles), golfing, ex, but that does not necessarily mean I enjoy watching these things on TV. Me, an avid hiker, could not think of anything more boring on TV than watching a "hiking competition"
Me either....I don't even know what F1 is, but I'm happy E* is adding this channel because it's going to make a lot of posters here very happy.
Lol!
I'm really ignorant concerning racing, because I don't know what that is, either. 
From Scott's Off to Denver thread
I was told there would be another uplink on Friday and SpeedHD and FX HD were specifically mentioned. So I hope the rumors are true.
Hope he's right
I'd assume so. I also wonder why it was uplinked MPEG2 SD on 110 and MPEG 4 on 72.7? EA stuff?
And that's far and few between..since I only know like 2 people with MP3 players. Satellite radio and streaming audio has taken over. I haven't listened to a CD in years.
Light it up
I can't wait till they get Speed hd lit up!!!!!:clap:clap Fx and Fuel would be nice too!! Been waiting along time?:up:up:up:up

I'm one of those people who can watch golf on TV, so In a way I can empathize with the Nascar watchers. I do watch Daytona and the occasional night race in HD so it's not like I avoid it. But I'm not an avid watcher. Dale Sr. was my favorite driver so my interest pretty much died when he did.
