That release talks about 87 national channels. Last I checked the website they claim 85. Something in the works?

They didnt have CSTV and Tennis up yet

 

[cebbigh]

Are there any channels that have stated plans to go HD in Jan?

 

[FreddyvsJasonvsAsh]

where is the 100 they stated by end of 07?

 

[purtman]

FreddyvsJasonvsAsh, please remember the term "UP TO". It has been stated over and over and over and over and over. "Up to 100" does not mean "100". For 2008 our goal is to never hear people complain about this again. It's tiring and shows that people are not reading the releases.

Whats tiring to me is the fact that the Norfolk hd lils are not on the radar.

Nor are the lil's for Toledo, Ohio. Larger than many cities that have already been turned on, suffering from being between other larger cities. Detroit, Cleveland, Columbus and Cincy that are already on .... but they won't allow Toledo to get any of them.

Geez Jimbo, your Buckeye's are playing in the BCS championship, and you want to watch them over the satellite too? Man you're greedy.
Happy New Year, and I hope your evil OSU wins.

Ive been pissed off about it for quite some time. D* had said late 2007. Sure would be nice to at least get a peek at this great HD LIL PQ, its not like I am in the sticks in DMA 43

 

[HD is LIFE]

Don't want to further upset you, but your DMA moved up to number 42.
