Take this for what it is worth - New HD

I agree about the national HD being light up this week due to the 2 Sky Angel TPs, but I am still confussed as to what happens to us guys that have 129, and not 61.5. Do they have room to add them on 129 also?

From my knowledge, this is Exactly correct.

by the way, I don't think I am letting cats out of any bags, but ESPN-U will "Suddenly" become HD over the summer, certainly before August 15, as will Classic and a future ESPN channel to be determined.

The only thing is, I don't think Dish has the "Rights" to carry those channels, which implies that there is an Option on the part of Dish. I believe it is more in the nature of an Obligation.

I agree with you on this one. Dish will only carry ESPN-U and ESPN News HD if they are obligated to, not out of the kindness of their hearts. And why would ESPN even bother making a Classic HD channel? Most of that content is low quality 480i anyway.
