DIRECTV Announces New HD!

[Jimbo]

Thanks Jimbo, Learn something new here everyday....does that also automatically put them into a saved favorites list, remember, I had those new HD premiums unchecked before because there was nothing on those channels before?

No this will not put them in your favorties list, but you'll have easy access to what the new HD channels are as well as the old ones and you can then decide if and what you want to put in your Fav's list.

Lots of times people did not want new channels automatically going into thier Fav list .... it use to do that then got changed.

any new rumors or hard news of new hd channels being added on directv soon?

I like your choice of wording right after the porn replies in this thread.

[Hemi 6.1]

Any word on what those channels might be?

 

[Rey]

I only pay $9.95 for All the porn I could want.

Fyretv,
The company that I hear complaints about,but Never had even 1 complaint myself in the year I've had the service.

Charlie loves whacking it.

What cracks me up is selling porn in two hour viewing blocks.

Like anyone is still going to be watching it after 15 minutes.

That's true. LOL! After the first money shot, I'm usually done.

No, he just said a "few".

 

[TulsaCoker]

Any word on what those channels might be?

One for sure is GolTV.....and i would venture to guess one or two more nationals.....maybe cooking HD and BBCHD but it could be IFC HD since that was being test a while back but it's anyones guess right now.

any chance of AMC HD before the start of Mad Men at the end of this month? haha... I can dream, right.

I saw on either a Breaking Bad thread or Mad Men thread that somebody (Dish or a cable company) was threatening to drop AMC all together. Why is it so hard for these companies to get along with Rainblow? Breaking Bad and Mad Men are two of the finest shows on TV. After the basics like HBO, A&E, and TNT, it is right up there with quality programming just for those two shows.

Add it DirecTV... Add AMC HD!!!!! Before Breaking Bad Season 4 next March?????

AT&T Threatens To Drop Rainbow Services - 2010-07-09 21:06:53 | Multichannel News

Rainbow Media (owned by Cablevision) doesn't like competition. They figure if D*, E* and other carriers have their HD channels they'll lose customers.

Thanks for the info.

Aren't there laws that require them to carry so many other providers channels and vice versa. How do they get away with this? Cablevision isn't even an option where I live.

Thanks Jim, just a matter of placing them into my list then. On another note, would love to see both AMC & TCM in HD if there's extra room. I haven't checked in a while, but I know Dish used to offer the Playboy package in HD. I know I'm both in the minority & greedy here, but would love to see that in HD too.

 

[Cobra611]

I'd like to see DIY in HD.

 

[DJ Rob]

I want BBCA HD and AMC HD first and foremost.

Along with the Denver PBS in HD. Not sure why a top 20 market is still missing HD locals...

IFC HD, TCM HD, HLN HD, NG Wild HD and DIY HD would be very nice bonuses.

Wow...a channel for a sport 1% of the legal US population cares exists while AMCHD is still not on. Great job D*! It's all been downhill ever since News Corp. sold us subscribers down the river with the Liberty deal.
