No New HD at this time..

I'll post it here first if there is anything new.. I'll also post it at AVS, dbsforums, and dbstalk.

Satelliteguys apparently have their own inside information. :roll:

HD Receivers (such as the Hughes E86 and Mits) will be able to select the audio from the different channels. On the Hughes or Mits remote press ACTION and then SERVICES button. Then select AUDIO and then one of the ENGLISH channels. ie.. ENGLISH 1, ENGLISH 2...etc.

I don't have a TIVO/ DVR with me at this time but I was told they will be able to the same thing.

All of this starts Jan 3rd or 4th.
