I'm pretty sure most of these channels either exist already or advertise an HD launch in 2008, so Dish could easily add them by December, thus helping them get to their promised "150+ National HD channels by the end of the year!"
Also, more HD locals! I'm moving from one DMA with no current or planned HD locals (Champaign, IL) to another (Charleston, SC) in about 3 months. The kicker? D* is advertising that BOTH these DMAs will soon have HD locals. Way to drop the ball, E*!
