Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
No this has nothing to do with Echo 11 being operational. There's no way they could add channels as soon as August 1. But I do think locals in HD are going to be added for every territory and Dish will have the same amount of high def as Direct, and Dish's dvr is miles ahead. I am not one of those who thinks one is better than the other, I started with Dish and am a very happy customer and I appreciate how fast they are adding channels.
They'll have the same amount of HD as DiTV until the new sat comes up. DiTV has obtained a reputation as being the HD capital of the world, and if it wants to continue it's record numbers of new subscribers during the christmas season right before the digital changeover, it's not going to be outdone. No matter what it takes. All that can be HD will be HD in directvland. It'd be stupid to think otherwise.
