Default Date for the new HD channels

We are supposed to be getting StarzHD, HGTVHD, NFLHD, National Geographic HD. Does anyone have any idea when these new channels will be online?

Thanks

Charles Ergen (sp) is the CEO of Echostar the parent company of DishNetwork. He has a 1 hour "chat" monthly (almost) on channel 101. There is also a technical chat on months "Charlie Chat" is not on.

I heard someone say a birdie (over at Satguys) told him the new HD channels were to be turned on TODAY! (NOT holding my breath).

Several times, new channels have been turned on the day before or on the start day of a trade show. One starts Wed, so the date of today was hoped to be day to see something.

SWEET!!!!! I just wish that DISH would get FSN MW in HD. They need Cinemax and maybe Encore HD next.

Why is the added HD channels such a secret? It's starting to get under my skin---may go cable if it doesn't happen SOON!

I count 28 HD channels on DishNetwork. You won't go to cable.
