I read your blog regularly and I wanna update with this news that Dish Network increased the number of HD channels by offering another 5 HD channels nationwide. That brings the total HD channel count up 40. The new HD channels are FX, SPEED, Fashion TV (FTV), Logo and MavTV. All these channels went live in Early May. Also, in June MSNBC HD will be added (briniging the number of HD channels to 140).
How can I found out in advance when talk shows feature stories about love, romance, marriage and personal relationships? (not just celebrities or authors)
thanks.
