I figured this board would be buzzing this morning. E* issued a press release about the HD Package, it's available Sept. 16th for $9.99 and will include HDNET/HDNET MOVIES, ESPN HD and Discovery HD.

The 811 will be available the end of this month for $399, not $299 and the 921 in October for $999.

I don't have a link to the PR, I received it in my email this morning from HDTV Magazine and his sources are for real.

Scott, do you have the release?

Never mind, it's further down in Sam Patterson's post, I just figured it would hanging at the top with a pin stuck in it.

Hey guys, give me a break, you didn't read my last line above. I haven't been around, I've been to some training and spent the weekend tweaking my new 110" screen that I built last weekend, so I have not had much use for SD Dish. My PVR is filling up, I haven't even watched any SD Dish stuff in over 10 days.

Come Sept 16th, I am ordering the new package and then bye-bye regular programming, it looks too awful at 110" and now I can't go back to my 27" TV.

Sorry, I missed that last line did not mean to come across as a smart A. ;)
