when companies promise “100” or “150” channels…its not that your going to get 150 channels.
that total includes all the cites locals…so if they service 20 major cities & each gave 4 locals in HD through them…that takes up 80 of that 150.
usually in the end you get anywhere from 25-40 depending on the package you have…if you get movies channels etc…
also thats why i’m kinda pissed @ dish for dropping VOOM. the VOOM channels were 24/7 1080i HD, with limited commercials. yes some of the programming was repeated a lot, but id take it anyday over some of the shitty national broadcast “HS lite” channels that are upconvert & only broadcast HD some of the time.
