It Almost Feels Like Christmas

Its only September, but for a lot of home theater enthusiasts it feels like they are coming up to a special holiday. Many of them going to bed at night with visions of "High Definition pictures" dancing in their heads.

No one knows exactly what’s coming or when it will be here, but the excitement in the air is enough to cut with a butter knife. Some folks have waited years for what will be taking place in the HD landscape in the next few weeks. Some can’t wait for the HD Santa to come, they want their HD now!

It is rumored that DirecTV will soon have control of their new DirecTV 10 satellite and will soon be lighting it up with lots of new High Definition  for the world to see.

And others know DISH Network CEO Charlie Ergen is not going to sit idly watching DirecTV take the crown of HD leader away without a fight. And cable companies are also scrambling to bring their customers more HD content so that they also can stay in the race.

So for those who can’t wait, relax, the time is almost at hand. No matter who your multichannel provider is you should soon be seeing more HD pictures, dancing in your heads.

Will Dish Network be launching more HD Today?

As I first reported here in “The Satellite Dish” back on August 22^nd, Dish Network was planning on launching a bunch of new high definition Pay-Per-View channels on September  12^th. 

Well today is September 12^th, will the show up this afternoon?

On Monday Night’s edition of “The Charlie Chat” Dish Network CEO Charlie Ergen talked about these new HD PPV Channels like they were already active.

In addition on Monday’s show it was mentioned that it is likely that the new NHL Network would be coming to Dish Network in October.
