Pick D*'s new HD National Channels

[darrencp22]

Ok, so D* is claiming 30 additional HD channels this summer.

Lets figure many of those will go to premiums and RSNs.

It seems a safe bet we'll see a minimum for 5 new nationals. Rank, in order of preference, you think D* should launch. Please try and think of future space considerations and how D might be more stringent in how they select what channels to launch (so probably no WFN HD).

I think these are safe bets:

1. Fox News
2. Travel Channel
3. AMC
4. Lifetime Movies
5. ABC Family

 

[Mike4HDTV]

Fox News HD
Travel Channel HD
QVC HD
ABC Family
Outdoor Channel HD
ESPNU HD - in August when it goes live

I haven't read anywhere that Directv claimed any thing, Where did you find that?

It was advertised during the All-Star game.

The rest of the HBO/Cinemax channels. The additional channels Showtime is launching in August.

I want to focus on non-premiums and non-RSNs

 

[goaliebob99]

Take out QVC hd (even though it is Liberty owned and will be on Direct soon) and put in Wealth tv for me.

Local Affilates, They are suppost to be launching soon.

[JAG72]

World Fishing Network HD

Great, Now I won't have to switch to Dish to get all that HD fishing.

 

[DodgerKing]

Great, Now I won't have to switch to Dish to get all that HD fishing.

For me Travel channel and FNC, everything else is just icing on the cake.

D11 sat channels list speculation MPEG4 HD:

<list truncated>

This is based on HD channel info and the mpeg 2 to mpeg 4 conversion.

Great list! I would love to get these new adds. But there is only one channel I want from D11 and 1 only that is not on this list-----------ESPNU HD!! For college Football!

 

[jcrandall]

Matt - that list looks more like everything that DirecTV doesn't carry versus speculating on what they will carry.

Are you saying some channels will be moving from D10 to D11? You have some channels in there that are already carried in MPEG 4 (not the MPEG2->4 moves at the top).
