No D* doesn't. They added the other Disney Channels but there is delay for ABC Family on D*.

Wow, I had no idea that DirecTV carried so many of the Starz channels in HD. That's a pretty impressive lineup they have over there.

Does Direct TV have a HD only Package?

 

[MikeD-C05]

No.

I wish they did. If this proves to be successful and cost effective for Dish, you may see other providers do the same thing. The only downside is one is then stuck to watching SD stretch-o-vision on some of the HD channels.

The Truth Is Out There

Actually with the HD only package you still get the SD version of the HD channels as well.

Then why do they call it HD ONLY? And, then what would be the difference between this or any other package?

 

[dean22601]

There are several SD only channels that you don't get, ie. MTV, VH1, E!,.... etc. plus others. For me the ones I no longer receive are not worth the extra $24 or so I was paying to have anyway. For me it was a no brainer.

Why do they call it an HD only pack? Who knows, but I can't complain.

 

[TNGTony]

With the HD Only Pack you only get the HD channels and any SD counterparts, that is it.

The channel choice is different from any other AT pack. You cannot combine with an AT pack because the HD pack contains certain channels fromt he AT250 and AT200 pack.

You can add the SD Public Interest pack for free as well.

See ya
