It says right at the top of the list that this information is subject to change. So while it is useful, I think that just like the listing of HD channels currently uplinked, it shouldn't be interpreted literally. We are into September already so the speculation will be over soon anyway. I don't see why as subscribers any of us should want to see either D not living up to expectations or E not keeping pace with the roll out. One side or the other not doing well doesn't benefit any of us in a material way. If anything we should be cheering the competition.

Hehe, I just wonder what Speed-HD is going to show when most Racing series will nearly be over when they launch in October. This is the one channel that I really hope that E* gets out of all the once D* has listed.

In all seriousness, why are Vs and Golf Network sharing a channel assignment? Are neither of them capable of filling their own channel slot? Or is it more likely that they are owned by the same company or something like that?

VS/Golf are sent out that way and are from the company. Its not DirecTV (or Dish) time sharing these channels. It comes like that.

It will be changing as NESN HD will move to D10 so the rest of the country can partake of the HD games if they have MBL EI/Super Fan.

It lists the HD channels DirecTV will be carrying.
Because today is a holiday I don't have access to scanner, so I had to take a picture of the information instead.
Enjoy! | Thanks for the heads up info...Looks like this should be a great time for TV...With the other preimum channels going HD.....Might be time to move up to the Preimer package!!
