| Re: typical said by hopeflicker  :Typical marketing schemes  Very misleading and on the verge on lying. It's numbers hype. They all play the game thinking we the consumer are clueless. Out of the ~150 channels I have, I watch 6-8 at the most. The rest are trash.  Will trash in HD be better?..

Fayetteville, AR | The DBS satellite system works very similar to what you point out in SDV. You only get the channels you request, which send voltage to the lnbf to switch transponders. | |

You're telling me there will be MORE HD channels than than SD ones? Hundreds of never-before-seen channels are just going to materialize and start broadcasting in HD?
Marketing Bullshit. They should be required to explicitly define the word "channel" in any advertisement that tells how many "channels" a provider offers. PPV, on-demand, and Sunday Ticket/MLB Extra Innings/NHL Center Ice are NOT channels.
