DirecTV has a lot of catching up to do just with some simple basics.
The ones which spring to mind are those Comcast/NBCUniveral programmers—Esquire Network HD (which used to be Style Network HD), Oxygen HD, PBS Kids Sprout HD, and TV One HD—and many others. We are also overdue for those plus two from Discovery Communications—America's Heroes Channel HD (which used to be Military Channel HD) and Discovery Family HD (which used to be The Hub HD)—to join with the rest of what is already carried.
The "yawner" reaction can be in response to some of the programming that we had thought would have been added in HD—years ago—is coming in years late or, in the case of some, they are still not getting added in HD. (Someone mentioned, as one example, GSN HD.)
Never thought I would say this a few years back.
"HD is old news. Wake me up when UHD channels are lit"
HD is not "old news." It's today's standard.
I agree, they have no excuses now though... They have room for at least 50+ new HD channels on D14 ka high alone.
There are millions of sports fans in the NYC area that think Dish is the one with a lot of catching up to do.
If history is any indication I don't think Charlie will ever write that check to the Yankees, and without YES they don't have much inspiration to be aggressive with the other NY RSNs.
Nope I do believe we will see some live UHD this year. Probably around 3 channels.And when anyone is broadcasting 1080p ....
Isn't UHD scheduled for like 2017 or there abouts ?
I'm more hopeful then before
Since the On Demand (1233) is in testing status, we have to hope the HD channel launch may not be to far off... Maybe they put VOD up in test in anticipation of renewing the GSN contract very soon... just a guess. Or we may just end up getting VOD with content only in SD, I'm anticipating the opposite though. Either could happen. We also may get content in HD via VOD and the linear channel added in HD at a later time (this happened with several other channels).
Yeah, how about Universal Sports in HD please? I'm tired of watching skating in windowboxed SD.
I still haven't heard from anybody a MUST have channel that is not in HD.
True there are plenty of HD to be added yet, but most are not the Major channels.
Think about these channels people are wanting added, not one of them Everybody has clamored for.
Think about it in D* perspective, for example, add GSN, what I s that going to add for us, it's clearly not a channel that most will be viewing daily therefore outs not making them any more money.

yup. outdoor network, sportsman network, pac 12 network, world fishing network, universial sports, fox deportes and willow cricket to name a few!!
Directv does have Willow Cricket for $14.99/month. You need the international dish to get it though and I doubt it is HD. We need Fox Deportes, Pac 12, and Universal Sports in HD!
