Dish has been slacking badly.. if they want to keep those of us with the everything packages, they should get moving on those hd channels or they are going to need to explain to their investors why their subs keep dropping drastically each quarter. I'm disappointed I haven't been able to watch BSG in HD yet and I keep questioning why I've been sticking with a company that doesn't care about my viewing habits..

CNBC HD???

It would have been nice if Dish gave us one of the more wanted channels as their first new HD offering in a while. SCIFI HD seems to be at the top of the list even though I'd much prefer MGM HD myself. I suspect not too many people have been waiting with baited breath for CNN HD. Oh well I'm still patient and optimistic that better things in HD will be coming in the very near future. You do have to wonder about those making the big decisions at Dish though. If I was a new satellite customer I certainly wouldn't be choosing Dish right now.

I'm not sure that I'd call this a bloom. As Bubba noted they should have given us one of the more wanted channels that have been uplinked but not available for months. I still question if Dish can compete since they are still transmitting HD-Lite while to my understanding Direct no longer is.

Dish needs to fertilize their HD plants with miracle grow immediately, before we are all locked into 24 month commitments with direcTV. Most of us are just waiting for sports subscriptions to expire, before we jump on the DirecTV bandwagon.

I agree with all comments above. Have acquired Dish in January this year when moving to Mo from Ill. I am a Cubs Fan (Die Hard) and watch WGN. It says HD but not in HD. I contacted DISH about a week ago and they come back with the same padded answer they said back in January. Now I see WGN on the new upcoming addon HD list. I dont think their people know when anything will take effect. BTW I was one of those people looking for CNN HD. I wonder why they have two channels broadcasting in HD exc: 200 and 9436. Now the next thing is why are my local channels not in HD when parent broadcast HD. I am locked in for 18 mos. If I don't get what I want like I had from Comcast I plan to switch. I dont think Dish cares!!

oh great, CNNHD, HallmarkHD, BIOHD etc. Does Dishnetwork really feel these are going to make up for the loss of Voom? I chose Dishnetwork and have been a loyal subcriber for one reason; Voom HD channel. It was the one thing that seperated Dishnetwork from the other providers. As soon as my contract expires I will no longer subscribe to Dishnetwork. I hate the way they dropped a huge bomb out of the blue. I am very annoyed about this, and I'm sure most others Dishnet customers feel the same way. The posts that allude to Voom as unwatched crap are probably Dishnetwork agents. They will lose a lot of subscribers over this

I subscribed to the HD package in February and am completely disappointed. Dish has underdelivered on what the added HD package cost is. Unless there are better HD channels added by June, I will switch to DirectTV, the current leader in HD channels.
