At the time we went with DirecTV, Dish didn't offer The Speed Channel (now just called Speed) in HD. (We were looking to add HD service) They virtually guaranteed they'd have it in HD soon since DirecTV already carried it.........but they wouldn't commit to a date/timeframe. I checked back about a year after we switched and didn't see it in their listings yet. There were also issues with Dish not offering our local stations in HD whereas DirecTV did.

Keep in mind that this all dates back to over 4 years ago. Things are liable to be different now.
