Really? What channels are they?
I keep getting letters from them saying they will “soon” have the capability of delivering 150 HD channels but they never make any claim to which ones. Capability is a far cry from actual delivery. Why they think I would return to DIRECTV for a promise and a free cheap SD dvd player I don’t know.
This is mostly smoke/mirrors. There simply aren’t that many HD channels broadcasting right now. These “channels” will mainly be game feeds from various locations for ESPN and Fox Sports.
Outside the currently available HD channels that everyone knows about, the only full-fledged “channels” that have been announced to begin broadcasting for the rest of the year and their supposed turnon dates are:
CNN-HD and TBS-HD beginning in September
History HD in September
Sci-Fi “4th Quarter”
I couldn’t find any other channels with dates that could be pinned down any more than this.
thanks for the info.
Let me try this again, as my first reply was “lost”…

So if DIRECTV hit the ground with the full list for September they would have 24 [excluding the sports channels] of HD where today DISH has 30 something [sorry, I should have added them up] and they could pick up any number of those in that same list not already carried. This would really heat the race up and be good for both sets of customers.
Tech talk the other day covered some tho the program delt mostly with the hard drives to save programs. History channel I understand is still go on September 1 and “more” during the month.
The MHD channel was not a real winner with me and I have seen nothing in HD so far from VS/GOLF. DISH has yet to pick up INHD which would be one more.
As I said, that was a partial list. It didn’t include the 24/7 RSNs that will be moving to national coverage from their home market spotbeams or the RSNs that will go 24/7 now that they have a guaranteed reach of up to 16.3 million homes. The list also doesn’t include the present HD channels which I’m sure will be mirrored on D10 in preparation for the MPEG 2 HD shutdown in a year or so or the expansion of HD PPV channels (I’ve heard the number “4″ bandied about) that will most likely happen.
Please note that I counted 26 channels in my September list… to save space I listed the East and West coast feeds of Cinemax and Starz on one line. Apparently you missed that, trueview. When you add that list of 26, the 10 present HD channels that will most likely be migrated, the five 24/7 RSNs DirecTV currently carries, the 22 part-time RSNs that could be upgraded to 24/7 status and four HD PPV channels, you get a total of 63 channels. Then you add in 14 NFL Sunday Ticket HD channels, as DirecTV has indicated they will do, and you’ll come to a total of 77 channels.
Mission accomplished.
BTW, InHD is no more… it’s now Mojo, and I doubt that Comcra… er, Comcast will not be willing to share that one with DirecTV or Dish.
Since I can’t edit mu own comments, I’ll have to note here that my math was just off… I forgot the four HD PPV channels I had mentioned… so it should be 67 and 81 channels vice 63 and 77.
I saw fox HD on a tv at Sams today — I heard so little about that one I had forgotten it.
