Do I think it was a disappointment. Well no!
Was I hoping for a massive Launch of channels, Yes!
But I like the system D* has of not cramming the crap out of the satellites,by turning the Channel count up, while turning the PQ down.
There is really nothing I'm missing out on!
But I would like to see this year.

Ah so AMC and TRU are in that list, but the supposed "HD Leader" doesn't offer those in HD. Check DirecTV's twitter feed and facebook wall, TONS of requests for more HD. Plus this topic alone starts huge threads on various sites.
With AMC being touted as poor man's HBO, and their new hit series "Walking Dead" renewed for a second season, there's no way this channel shouldn't be offered in HD. This request alone comes in so often that there is an FAQ entry on DirecTV's website "Do you carry AMC in HD?"
So what if Rainbow Media wants to include others like IFC and Sundance in HD. The more the merrier. You can't be a leader if you don't have it all.
It would be nice to have E, Style, We, and LMN HD for the wife, and I don't mind checking out some hot girls in HD on E or Style once in awhile.
DIY would be great in HD as I am a homeowner and I love watching how to do things or get ideas from those shows. The local cable provider here has it, but it's encrypted QAM, and I don't have a box for them.
BBC America in HD would be nice for TopGear and Dr Who, so if there's room, why the hell not? Dish has them, and D* wants to be better than dish right?
I figure the more you add, you can't go wrong. Its a national company with a conus footprint. With millions of Americans with diverse tastes and needs, why not carry a diverse selection of HD content to please everyone. Satisfied customers are prone to spread the good word, and DirecTV's subscriber base is bound to continue to improve. Why wouldn't you want to be the best? That's what we all strive for.
Yes it was a good surprise, and will stick with D* as long they are in business. They treat good when I call them and always get what I want. But D* have space for more HD is matter of time when every channels is going to be HD.
It an all new version, and it'll remain to be seen if it's as good the the BBC version. I want the BBC version in HD too.
For the most part I am happy with what we have now. Only two channels I would say that I "want". One is HLN in HD (just because I like news channels, lol), and the other is BBC.
BBC is way down the list of channels that I watch (rarely), but going off of what we dont have, it would be close to the top.
Anything else is just gravy for me.

Surprisingly, there is not much information like before the Choice Ultimate package was even offered.
Regardless of missing a couple of channels I like, I prefer D* to the Dollar General provider. I'm plenty happy and the grass is green.
Wow I guess the grass isn't greener.
It never is. As long as the human race is far from perfect, everything we create will be far from perfect.
It does not matter as long as you are happy. Each person just needs to find the provider that they are happy with that has a package that they are happy with......Some people like cable, while some like satellite (DirecTV/Dish), fiber optic (Fios/Uverse)....
