Dish has a total of 25 HD channels now I was just about to switch over to Comcast cable but I'm glad I didn't. I'm waiting on my new upgraded HD receiver to come and check out the new channels. As of now the new channels are ESPN2, HD Universal and five more Voom channels. Also, I got an e-mail from dish saying that they will Have local channels in HD starting in March or April. Its been a long wait. Has anyone checked out any of the new channels launched?

I wasn't aware that they added any. Do they come with the standard HD package? I'll look next time I get a chance.Danish -

Blake,
I thinking about switching from Comcast to the Dish. We was on line but was a little confused about the packages. Which package has all the HD channels? We only need HBO & all the HD channels.

If I'm not mistaking you have to order at least the 120 package with HD pak for 59$ a month. You might want to wait until they have the Locals in HD then order. There might be a promo give them a call.
Dish has great customer service I think you will like......BlakeComment

Comcast just added "UNIVERSAL HD." I can't fix what broke. After doning the math, we're going to stay with Comcast.
But thanks for your help.

well, geez, it's a new year, and I haven't finished configuring and tweaking my last music player setup (AURALiC Aries with Mutec 1.3+ and AURALiC Vega DAC) and I'm already working on another one, a combination of pieces I've bought in the past and some new bits (pun intended) that should fit together... -
Well, I found myself in a situation where my DirecTV receiver went out on me a couple of months ago. Now, I did have an old receiver on hand that belonged to my Sister Terry, so I transferred my service over to it after they sent me a new card. They won't let you activate a card that's been active before... -

Well, as I mentioned in the other thread, I'm about to sign up for some sort of Satellite TV service. I've had DirecTV in the past, but since I moved and don't have service in my new house yet, I'm willing to consider Dish Network, and hopefully leverage the two companies against each other in a bidding... -
Trevor Schell gave me a brand new Asus A7N8X Deluxe mother board, and I had been a bit tardy in getting it up and running as I was collecting parts for this system. It was a bit of a surprize to me to receive this as I really didn't need a new system, Still it was very much appreciated Trevor... Thank...
