Also another rumor is Toon Disney HD has replaced Mojo HD, which was on one of the other "temp" channels.
Volunteers?
OK April is almost over. It's time to get serious and start sacrificing virgins to the Dish National HD gods. Any volunteers*?

* you don't actually have to be a true virgin as long as you can put up a really big fuss, which shouldn't be a problem given the posts I've read in this thread so far.

Ok who offered up James Long?
Geesh we don't want to piss off the HD Gods folks... take him back!
I can not do it because I sacrificed for SCIFIHD and USAHD (PS I am not really a but it worked shh lets keep it quiet)
Thanks bro. I wondered who gave their.. .err.... ALL, for SciFi HD and USA HD
But that ain't gonna be nearly enough for us to get the rest of the HD Nationals on the list. We're gonna need a whole bunch more volunteers who can squeal like pigs and complain like harpies from hell. I wonder where we can find them?

* Note: i already have all the HD I really really want, so I'd gladly piss off the Dish HD Gods for this worthy cause
The channel I want the most is my RSN. That would be the next biggest source of programing that I'd regularly watch. I also wouldn't mind the alternate Cinemax channels in HD, but that'd just be a nice bonus.
My wife and I signed up for Dish about 18 months ago because our phone company paid for it in a nice little package. I recently purchased an HDTV set and have the unique opportunity to pick my provider without worrying about cancelation fees etc. Almost every other day in the mail I am getting flyers from both Time Warner and Direct TV.
The majority of families when making a decision will look at these flyers and see that Direct TV (or even cable) has more of the channels they watch in HD than Dish. The don't know what MPEG2 vs. MPEG 4 means. They don't know what stretch-o-vision is. They have no idea what the Eastern Arc is. They don't understand that some shows are HD and some are not. The company with the most channel logo's on their flyers wins. Period. Dish will continue to have trouble attracting new customers and will continue to have defects until they figure out a way to be more competitive. Not competitive in the eyes of "in-the-know" subscribers like us, but competive in the eyes of Susy Soccer Mom whom control the budget in most househoulds.
Some have said that Dish only has a few channels less than Direct TV and that is OK. A business should strive to be better than their competitors, not just hope that they are close to even with them.
My Two and a half cents,
