1500 LIL & 150 NATIONAL HD CHANNELS .. AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT SEES A FLAW IN THE SLAW

[moqz1001]

In The 210 Dma's How Many Locals Are Their Combined ?


Now As For National Channels ... There Is Wayyyyy More Than 150 Channels, So What Channels Will Directv Drop ?


Because If The Channels Themselves Are No Hd Directv Could Still Upconvert Them To Hd


But Still We Have Over 150 National Channels ( Tnt, Espn Etc...) And Manty Not Carried By Directv Yet...


So Me I Am Not Celebrating, They Dont Have Room For The 300+ National Channels Out There...

So This Means Either More Sat Launches And/or Another New Dish We Will Need After The 5 Bird One In 3 Years



So Now What ?

Holy triple post - Batman!


The press release relates only to new HD programming. They're not going to be touching their current Standard definition programming at their current satellite core Ku satellite positions for a long... long... long... long.... time.

So the "more than150 national HD channels" is a marketing statement that they will eventually provide that many HD national channels sometime in the future - but there currently aren't that many out there to offer.
