DISH Network reaffirms that HD plans are still "on track"

If it sounds like you've heard this same 'ole song and dance before, it's because you have. Just days after the AMC-14 was officially dubbed "a total loss," and merely hours since the satcaster underwhelmed subscribers everywhere by adding CNN HD to its national HD lineup (instead of, say, SciFi HD / USA HD), the company is trying to keep spirits high. According to a regulatory filing, DISH Network reaffirmed that it would not "incur any financial liability from [the] failed satellite launch, and its plans to offer more high-definition video programs were on track." Moreover, it stated that its intentions to boost its HD lineup this spring were a go, but no further details beyond that were given. Eh, a little less conversation and a little more action would be ideal.
