Hopes&dreams? don't think so.Is hopes&dreams SW1&2,D10&D11 with D12 built to be a spare against failure?.They even launched 9s which is a spare at 101.It's good E* has all those slots now all they need is to build the satellites LOL.If you compared DISH's DP301 or311 you would find DirecTV's D11 a better product.The
D11 receiver has alot of better features than DISH's standard receivers.Once they
get the bugs out of DirecTV HDDVR it will be a good product too.You remember bugs right? That's what the 622 had when it first came out and guess what?It still
has some still.
HD lite problem should be fixed once the bandwith capacity is fixed with the launch
of D10&11.Then the bandwith capacity will be there for 150 HD national channels and 1500 HD locals.They have already posted the channels that have committed to D* for HD is that hopes&dreams?Don't think so that is a fact.

Ah come on.Don't let the trolls get to you.Don't give your name either that's a quick way to have to find another job OK?.Their just upset cause they didn't get Chiller and we did.
OH! DirecTV !! You've done it again!!!!!!.
Why do you think that D* is incapable of putting up 4 sats over the 2 years , when they have done plenty previously ?
The sealaunch issue has nothing to do with D* other than they were planning to use it for the last sat ...
They will either be able to use sealaunch or find another place to launch, I know it woud require changes, but thats what the launch people are there for.
Obviously you think that DISH can do this much better, not sure why.
They have not placed any addl. sats to allow them to have over 100 HD channels.
You must be a DISH sub.
I perfer having my SPORTS HD witch DISH has none of.

D* consistently makes marketing and service promises which it cannot deliver, or delivers late, or never.
Alas, I also do not believe in the 150 channels at all, much less by March 1, which has already come and gone-Maybe March 1 of next year. Did the marketer tell you the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus would hop into your house to do the install?
Wowza. 150 HD channels. Imagine that-just like DirecTV does, because your imagination is all you are going to have.

Well if the newly listed in the guide national geographic channel goes live soon.......1 down only 149 to go for directv!
If you can find a company that doesn't have set backs in production or problems with sub contractors, that cause delays, let me know. I was told that a new wireless video distribution model would be available last January and it just came out this February, over a year late. I know of cable company that said they would have fiber last year and to this date haven't laid the first line. How far behind is Airbus in their delivery of their new plane? I know of very few companies that have been able to deliver products on time.
D* has never stated they will have 150 channels of HD, but they have stated they will have the capacity for 150 national HD channels. Maybe a CSR said March, but the official work from D* is they will have 100 HD channels this year. Most going live in the 3rd quarter. http://directv.com/DTVAPP/global/contentPage.jsp?assetId=P4130030
I have had HD for 7 years and am looking forward to the new channels going on line since they first announced their plans for D10 & D11 a few years ago. I believe they will deliver their 100 channels by years end.
New satellites for HD?
Check out http://www.spaceflightnow.com/tracking/index.html for a list of all scheduled launches and their payloads. I don't see any for DTV in the near future so how do they plan on providing 150 HD channels?

With the DirecTV 10 satellite scheduled to launch in June aboard a Proton rocket at the Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan,
Don't believe what a sales guy tells you. Well I had a D* sales person call me and tell me I am able to offer you a free HD DVR! I told him that offer is not on your website are you sure and said yes today I can do that. I asked him to repeat "free HD DVR, not STD DVR but HD" so I was like great I am switching to D*.
Well I now officially hate D*!! The installer came out without the DVR and then said you will not be getting a free HD DVR. I called D* and they said the sales person misinformed you and was trying to just make a sale. That is nice.... Real F*&% nice...
I am staying with DISH!
I have the sales person's ID, I wonder who I could e-mail at D* let him know about my disappointment?

Since when has D* started calling people trying to get new customers. I used to get a lot of calls from D* & E*, but I know they were getting in trouble over the Do Not Call List and thought they had stopped. Has anyone else, recently, gotten calls from them?
I got the same call,,they told me to come back to directv and i would get a free hd dvr,,,I didn't get directv or the dvr i had to get a refund the installer never showed or called,,,, so i just stayed with E*....
Ok, I see. Looks like they are calling previous customers, not new ones. Maybe that is not covered by "Do Not Call".
That's the key but when a previous or current vendor does call you can tell them to add you to their do not call list and they have to add you. I actually did that with Discover card and Dish to stop them from interupting my dinner. Now I just need to figure out how to get the state and local govt to stop calling.
