Addl HD Channels in Sept

[darrencp22]

There were heavy rumors that additional HD channels were to be added later this month. I think Scott may have said this is likely. However, we havent seen/heard anything yet. Anyone have an update?

Well BigTen network came online and 9 additional PPV channels, so if E* was so inclined they could sit on that. I rather think they won't. Look toward the end of the month to see if they add TBS-HD in time for the playoffs. No announcement yet but I am , as others are, hopeful.

I am simply amazed at how many HD channels there are right now. When I first signed up for HD with Dish, it was a teeny tiny package including TNT, ESPN, HDNet, and Discovery HD for $10/month plus the HD receiver lease fee, so $15/month for almost nothing and no HD DVR.

Now, for $100 (AR) I get the 722 HD DVR, and for $20/month (after 6 months free) I get TONS more HD content ( I really like the Voom channels) and the $6/month DVR fee. Plus I get to ditch my 522 DVR $6 fee!

I don't watch much TV because I am a heavy gamer (xbox 360). But, the TV I do watch is mainly major network shows like The Office etc and sports. So I am basically set for life HD-wise as it is right now....
