What we are hearing...

[HD#1]

There's over 40 channels currently available that D* doesn't carry.

But what I want most are

more HBO/Max
Encore HD
Showtime Showcase West HD
Showtime 2 HD West
Showtime Extreme HD West
The Movie Channel HD West
The Movie Channel Xtra HD
The Movie Channel Xtra HD West
ESPNU
Travel Channel

What I expect:

If we get anything, it probably will be more HD PPV and maybe some more RSNs converting from part time to full time. But honestly, I don't expect a thing.

If D* adds more HD PPV I will be very dissapointed, I mean enough is enough there is a limit to HD PPV and I think D* has passed that. I rather have D* not add anything than more BS HD PPV channels.

comedy central
G4

I get all my locals, HDNet, NESN, ESPN, HBO, Sunday Ticket, I really dont care about much but Comedy Central. Its the only non-HD channel I watch DAILY. So I want my South Park, Jon Stewart, and Colbert in HD!!!

 

[hdtvtechno]

G4 would of been good if they would of brought back Leo patrick and all of those tech shows
or ZDTV buying back G4 and becoming Techtv all over again ..

It doesn't... neither does Comedy Central HD, G4 HD and BBC America HD. Right now those are in the works, but they haven't been launched yet.

The Atlantis mission to Hubble in October will be the first shuttle to be outfitted with an HD camera as announced by lead flight director Tony Ceccacci in his press briefing. The station has a single HD camera which has been used intermittently. There will be a Nasa HD feed available during the mission but D* will not be carrying it.

Given their track record on shuttle coverage, I would imagine that HDNet would be carrying that on-site HD feed.

neither does Comedy Central HD,

ComedyCentralHD has been announced as "coming soon" to Cox Oklahoma ..

HD Channels - Cox HD Service - Oklahoma - Cox Communications

.. reports suggest it will be within the next 2-4 weeks ...

At least we know that contracts have obviously been signed even if there is no HD available yet.

Don't see anything today. Big surprise

 

[bgothard72]

Me either....big disappointment! The ONLY thing I see is ESPNU moved, but not out of the sports package!

I've come to expect nothing but nothing from D* lately. John Malone is trying his best to become another Charlie.

 

[hdtvtechno]

Technically there is still 17 hours left in the day..

DBSTalk.Com - View Single Post - DirecTV HD - Current Listing

I wonder if the process PSmith uses could be automated? It would be a nice feature to integrate this into the D forums similarly to what is done with the Uplink reports with E.

I believe Comedy Central, G4, E! and another channel are all launching (their HD versions) within a couple days of each other in December. There's a press release floating around somewhere about it.
