You would be surprised how much of this comes out of D* call center. Don't assume D* isn't behind it.
Got call from D* to come back. Will have 150 HD by March!?

D* is very careful in their press releases to talk about "capacity for 150 national HD channels" (that's 75 per satellite). I don't think anyone can see there actually being 150 national HD channels available for DirecTV to transmit, but we'll see.
And there's no doubt a lot of the misinformation comes from DirecTV CSRs. You might subscribe to conspiracy theory, but I don't think the Customer Service organization is clever enough to do that!

I can promise you there will be, wont be March - But the temp outside will be warm.
We have another cryptic mystic! LOL! Reminds me of an old saying (but I will change it slightly for the kids).
"Post, or get off the pot!"

I dont need to post things to get a rouse or the absolutle truth for business and for personal satisfaction. Directv Has a solid reputation and is the leading Sat provider...That by itself is enough to give you truth here, which is what i did...Possibly this summer you could see those channels coming in to play with the new channel line up. Dates dont do anything but dissappoint people..Directv is way to huge to be wasting money and telling people these things if we werent already moving forward to doing it soon anyways. But ill be glad to put that in my PIPE and smoke it while im watching HD CNN this summer.
Just remember somebody out there loves ya.
Cool...they've got a receiver that takes care of the downrezzing and bitstarving! Scccchhwweeeet!!
Mr. DirecTV (if that is your real name)
I didn't say I was not in agreement, in fact that same thing has been posted already by likely 20 - 40 others over the last 6mos. I was only alluding to yet another post/poster with the cryptic prognostication writing style that only echoes what everyone else is saying/has said; while giving the illusion of "being direct from the horse's mouth"; no offense was intended. It was just funny. Thus the smiley.

Its cool i wasnt mad, i just get tired of the Bashing of Directv all the time. I work at DTV im an account sup/Teamlead for directv. I'd give my name but i dont need the unwanted trouble.
You mean you will be watching CNN in the fall since that when the channels goes online. That from CNN mouth.
wait - We did have a couple of cold days so far.
I just got back from visiting my Mom in Oakland Park. Nice and warm, just a little rain. Pretty nice if you ask me, especially compared to CT weather!
This 150 channel thing is going to be a real bad marketing failure if DTV10 or 11 fails to reach orbit, unfold its solar panels, uplink, downlink, stabilize in geosync orbit, etc.
I wonder how their confidence is doing given that annoying incident with Sea Launch. DirecTV 11 might want to carry pre-orbit insertion insurance?

it's all hopes and dreams for DirecTV at this point ;0 150 channels don't even exist and if they did the one company who can do this the easiest (better mpeg4 encoders, and a WHACK load of free space on their satts (121,105 and the 10 new slots they got permission for based on the reverse polarity DBS expansion range) is Dish. Dish will always lead in capacity. DirecTV may have a few more customers, but it certainly does not mean they have the better quality product... They simply don't and are unlikely to do so in the near future, D10 & D11 or not ;0 They were asleep at the wheel while charlie bought up ever conus slot he could get his hands on and Directv is forced to do a KA solution... How do you think they will ever have enough space doing that ;0 ?????? They will be forced to do HD lite and other quality loss methods for a long time to come yet! ;0
