The Dish April 1st New HD Saga (Merged Threads)

Toggle sidebar
Look... I have the fix... I'll shut down the uplink PC for the day until tomorrow morning. That way we don't have to keep looking for new reports. ;)
 
Just spoke to a CSR, not that that means much, but he said there was no new HD coming out today and no news when it would be coming out. Also, just so you know, Roanoke has been "delayed" with no reasons given.

Cool cool. Since those are Turbo HD packages does that mean that the $10 HD add on pack wont get any new channels?

If you have a Classic package and the $10 HD add-on, you should get most, if not all, the Viacom HD to be added, if and when it ever does gets added. It's the Turbo subs who are worried they won't get it since they didn't get the Fox HD when it was made available back in February. It only went to the Classic with HD add-on subs. Doesn't look like it will happen this week again anyway even though Chuckles said by today on the Chat.
 
Here's what I got from the Dish network chat. Its not looking good.
I hope they just don't know what they are talking about.
This is NOT an April Fools
Joke!

We must have a serious crime problem in this country, if there are that many people with loaded guns being held to their heads, forcing them to subscribe to a Dish Network service they obviously don't like. Don't let the door hit you on the way out, folks!

Ooh, sorry, wrong answer. The correct answer is, "Why is Dish allowed to hold subscribers to contracts, while not having any obligations of their own?"
 
Let me throw this one up there... next Wednesday, dish will start to require the new smart card technology for HD channels.... but I still haven't given up hope for today. (yes, I am a sucker)
