Interesting that USA/SciFi HD happen to turn on 6 months after DIRECTV turned them on... I wonder if DIRECTV had an exclusive....
No because by now pretty much everyone else has these two HD channels.

Tell them Welcome to the year 2008.
Don't mean to be a snob but a good competitor is familiar with his rival better than his rival does itself
Scott's not even trying to be his rival.
So I guess they will take down 2 hd ppv channels so these can take their place.
Hot Damn!!!!

I don't think that will be needed for TP17 on 110 since these channels are MPEG4.
Now back to the subject, I have a feeling many of you will be disappointed again not because DISH will not add any new HD's but Charlie faces a dilemma with his $30 HD-Only pack, if he adds too many new HD's in this pack many of DISH's subs will downgrade and DISH will lose a lot of revenue. But if he does not add them in this pack a lot of subs who already have it will be pissed.
The only way is to negotiate lower rates from the new HD's producers so he can afford to sell the HD-Only pack for $30. It is my speculation that is what slowed down the new HD roll out. Of course only my speculation.
I wouldn't be surprised they at least add the SciFiHD and USAHD. But if he manages to add most of the 25 new HD's on his list in that $30 pack it will be a major coup of historical proportion. The odds are again him but he had gone against all odds and won before.
Assuming they add 25 new HD and add them to the HD only package I would expect a price increase for the package come next February.
Yes they are but not Connecticut yet.Is E* going to light up any locals this Wed,
I just took a look with Tsreader, and it does appear there is actual video on those channels. In addition it appears there is now audio. Both channels are using anywhere from 6 Mbps to 8Mbps.
I dont believe eaither channel are airing any HD programs at this time (judging by looking at the schedule)
But this is a good sign.
Any other TS Reader Gurus may want to check it and correct me if I am wrong. I am still very green when it comes to Tsreader.
