rumor maybe on 11/9 or 11/10 or 11/15

 

[slacker9876]

However, it is all rumor and conjecture ... unfortunately only D* knows for sure. LonghornXP, any ideas on this one?

 

[rkr0923]

Hope I'm wrong but don't see it happening till next year

 

[LOBO2999]

I think it will be here by the end of 2007

Anyone tracking the ship that will carry the next "bird" for launch in the Pacific?

I'm hearing Monday is the currect launch day but again if something comes up or they change their mind again that would be wrong so take it as rumor sadly to say. I can say we will be seeing more bandwidth after football season is over but bandwidth isn't the same as channels but I'm still hearing that deals are being worked on. They are working on a deal with Starz to coincide with the Starz channel and name changes. Also Cinemax is being worked on as well for both the HD channel and more SD channels but that doesn't seem to be going very well at the moment. I have no idea what the status is on the Starz deals and I've been asking but no luck. Also ESPN 2 HD should be up at launch pending testing goes well.

Longhorn, any word on if InHD will be coming to D*?

 

[jdspencer]

Let's get Fox-HD and TNT-HD before we jump on any other ones.

 

[hdtvtechno]

Ok guys i emailed Stephanie Campbell on this one, lets hope she responds

 

[LonghornXP]

No word on InHD as of yet. I don't know how things will pan out regarding this channel simply because its dealing with many companies as well as the issue being moved higher up on the FCC chain.

We will have to wait and see on this one.

 

[hdtvtechno]

Are there any clues yet, is this channel up on the sat yet ?

 

[JerryVolunteer]

Nope, still nothing up....

 

[hongcho]

I guess the question is... "which Monday?"

Hong.

 

[byron!]

any good news scott?

 

[charper1]

We still havent made it to the next round of rumored start dates, so why all the fuss today?

 

[byron!]

b/c i would assume if the channel goes live tomorrow.. it might be on the sats today but only showing to those with engineering cards.

 

[charper1]

i just would have assumed if it was they would have posted that it was , assuming they are allowed.

 

[byron!]

you're probably right. but i couldn't help myself.
