Recently Dish Network added the World Fishing Network to its HD line-up, resulting in an even larger high-def portfolio. What do you think? Did Dish add the channel because of its great footage and potential or because more HD channels simply mean it is easier to sell? It's understandable that some think Dish just adds a 'cool' fishing channel to look like the largest supplier, since it was never heard of before Dish's recent expansion of 22 HD channels.

"Fishing looks spectacular in HD," World Fishing Network (WFN) President Mark Rubinstein told TV Week in an interview. Of course, but I must agree with Swanni who says that almost everything looks great in HD, meaning networks are just doing anything to satisfy the high-def audience and tricking them in a subscription.

Of course networks like Dish look at this from a different perspective. They offer even the smallest channels a chance to stand out. "We are taking a look at every HD product that’s out there," said Eric Sahl, senior vice president at Dish. Although this looks and sounds impressive there must be a catch. Carrying small channels, like WFN, means lower costs since they don't demand a lot. Secondly it means a larger portfolio, and a 'better bet' for the consumer.
