Why Not...

Every Channel that is availble should be
offered to Customers...

I'm all for new channels but am curious as to the price tag of such an increased line-up. Charlie talks about cable being expensive but my in-laws have it & get a lot more than I could w/E* PLUS high speed internet for just a few more bucks than I pay now. (AT 100, 3 Premiums, distant nets & Supers, 1 additional receiver). Maybe they should work on pricing/restructuring current packages before they add more stuff to over charge for.

Most channels dont come in an east and west. And what is the use any way? There are PVR's to help with the schedualing.

The Price Tag for DISH should be nothing, except for
DISH's cost for Recievers.

DISH Customers Cost should be nothing..

BTW: All the above channels are available on C Band
(some might not be offered to CBand customers)

PQ is great now isn't it!?! And since you subs DESERVE it we're going to crank up the compression just a little bit more so we can add 60 more duplicated channels! Isn't Dish great!! Great service, UNLIMITED bandwidth, and picture quality that has to be seen to be believed!

I seriously doubt they will offer a west coast feed of most of those channels over adding another channel. I would rather see a new channel than a repeat of another 3 hours later.

Dont forget the MTV and VH-1 suite channels.

MTV Jams

MTV University
VH 1 Soul
VH 1 Country

Does any Canadian satellite service offer any of these video music channels? Dont they package like movie channels in a package, music channels in a package, and so forth, and for less, giving more choice? If they could do that up there then they could do it here too, Dish and DirecTv CHOOSE not to although if everyone gets a bigger package then the price would be cheaper but I am sure the Canadian Satellite providers have a similar pricing structure for their combined packages like here so why cant they have the smaller packages here?

You wont get VH Uno it will be put into Para Todos if it isnt already there. That goes for all the spanish language channels.

All those extra channels would be nice! Keep your hopes up after the merger because alot of bandwidth will be freed up and there will be lots more room for extra channels. Even though E* is strapped for bandwidth at the moment, they should look into adding some of those Cinemax channels that you mentioned.

More proof the world is full of idiots!

Geeeeez! What a waste of space and
bandwidth, not to mention my time!

SoapNet West

We already have it on Ch188

MTV Jams
MTV Hits
MTV University
VH 1 Soul
VH 1 Country
VH 1 Mega Hits
VH Uno
VH 1 West

I would trade them all for MTVX! (If viacom didn't replace it with MTV Jams) Vh-1 country would be nice though, imagine that, a country music channel from Viacom with no Miss Cleo commercial every 3 videos

Save bandwidth for real programming, if the times are off for you, get a PVR & get real, JEEZ!

Jeez, why the crappy attitude towards someone mentioning that they would want West Coast feeds for some channels?

I understand the bandwidth issue, but I know for a fact a couple of people who would move from cable to satellite in an instant, but don't because they don't like it that their shows are on tv before they get home from work. And these are people who don't deal with technology (PVR's) well, they are lucky to get the VCR clock set, or have children, etc.

So there is a need for West Coast feeds. Its not a "stupid" idea to want them. I'd rather have new channels than West Coast feeds myself, but that's because I own a PVR, but I can definately see how for some it would be a great thing to have.

Then again, if Charlie doesn't even know these channels exist (per his last chat), then its unlikely that they'll ever be added in any case!

I believe they will try to add new channels before the west coast feeds but eventually add them when all the locals are up and they do not have many more channels to add when bandwidth will no longer be an issue but with HDTV coming the number of channels could decrease as they look at areas to remove if they cannot get more space for these HDTV channels.
