Since it was originally going to be an on the ground spare, it would seem that aside D10s issues, Directv agreed with me that keeping it on the ground was a better choice than having it in orbit.
Any new hd channel additions coming soon?

satelliteracer posted this today at dbs talk....2 new hd channels in march....one full time and one part time!
i would imagine one will be tru tv or disney jr. because he already said there would be a basic channel addition next month.
I'm betting on TruTV for full-time and FS San Diego for the part-time channel. FS Ohio and Cincinnati still will be part-time, even though they now both send out a full-time HD feed.
I am sure many of us are desperately waiting in anticipation for this station to be in HD.
I really hope it's not trutv or a disney channel. why do kids need hd anyways?
I would much rather get H2, TCM, or BBCA

it has been confirmed that tru will show the hoops games in hd but uncertain if it will become full time. it also appears fsn san diego will be the part time channel since it launches march 5.

If those mean that much to you, you might want to consider switching to Dish or another provider that offers them. Not that I don't like some of the channels you mention, but I don't want to see DirecTv do like, Dish and cram more and more HD feeds in at the cost of picture quality.
If your a Sports fan and your RSN is still NOT in HD, then YES you would be real happy to see that RSN go HD.
The majority of the RSN's are HD, so if I was still waiting, you BET I'd want it, particularly with the Baseball season starting soon.
But the Fact remains....D* has fell waaaaaay behind in the HD provider department.

Depends on what you want to watch. DirecTV has lots if channels in HD that Dish does not have, the Disney HD channels, ESPNU, HBO2W, MoreMax, ThrillerMax, @Max, WMax, Showtime Extreme, Showtime Beyond, Smithsonian HD. Now if you are speaking specifically of basic HD channels, then yes, they are behind, but at least the HD is not as downrezzed and compressed as Dish is. If you have DirecTv, and are not pleased with the HD content, vote with your wallet and leave.
