Wow I was just looking at TNGTony's Channel Chat http://www.dishchannelchart.com/ and I noticed something.
At the moment, Dish is transmitting 21 Channels in HD! Yes you read that correctly 21!
On 61.5 you have
HBO-HD
Showtime-HD
HD Events
HD PPV
WCBS-HD
Discovery HD
HD Demo
Thats 7 just on 61.5
Then on 148 you have
HBO-HD
Showtime-HD
HD Events
HD PPV
KCBS-HD
Discovery HD
That's 6 on 148
Now on 110 you have 4 HD Channels
HDNet
HDNet Movies
ESPN-HD
Discovery HD
So now we are up to 17.
On the new 105 satellite is is reported that there are 4 HD Channels now online, these channels are
HBO-HD
Showtime-HD
PPV HD
HD Events
That makes 21 HD Channels currently being uplinked at the moment! And that does not count the 4 HD Test Channels which have been reported at 148 which brings the HD Channel count to 25!
Now while this does not mean a lot at the moment, it will when all HD moves off of 61.5 / 148 and 110!
Can you imagine 25 HD channels coming off of 105? And the great thing is Dish does not to invest in new uplink equipment they already have it and its in use!
Now tell me Dish Network that Dish Network does not have a commitment to HDTV. Thats a lot of HD uplink equipment then have!
Just something to think about!
