Echostar/DishNetwork must be much MORE agressive regarding High Definition to maintain longterm leadership in the multichannel arena. For example, sign deals now to get first cut at MEANINGFUL current non-hidef movie/arts channels such as Sundance, IFC, MTV, etc. And lockup other niche markets now besides sports, i.e. gay/lesbian (Get LOGO in HD before DirecTV does). Start "dishing" out some upfront cash incentives to lock in a series of new HD channels with meaningful content. Don't just sit on your but and say there is not worthwhile HD content. Echostar knows how to be agressive; now is not the time to sit back and just "munch" on the food channel and regional sports while mumbling complaints about lack of interesting HD content.
