| | | Want to know when D* is launching the new HD Channels?
Everyone thinks its the 16th but it will actually be the 19th and I've attacthed the proof. The PDF is a converted from a PPT that D* will be using to train CSRs and the Excel file shows an example of what channels to expect at the HD launch. Don't bother asking me about my source because I won't reveal it.

I don't know what to make of this. Looks like last years papers.I don't see anymore of a date then before. Plus the satellite has already launched.That says Satellite launch on the 19th. Not HD channels become available. Maybe you could explain some more?

I think there is some validity to the info inside, possibly excluding the Sept 19 date. The date is a target date, as this document is from a while ago.
What is important is the explanation of how they will treat the new channels, and the creation of an extra HD pack for $4.99 including the HD nets, smithsonian, UHD, MHD, etc.
This is important and shows what the conversations regarding new HD packs is. Also explains a possible reason to have total access as an upsell to premier.

About the satellite launch of the 19th, that is about the service not the actual satellite. The wording is probably stating the launch of the services on the new satellite.

So they are going to take away HDNet channels, as well as others, and charge more under an HDExtra pak?? That would be bullsh**. Should have figured they would have found ways to re-tier everything to get more money out of subscribers. How about getting rid of some the crap we have to watch now in SD and NOT squeeze the wallets.

I agree with Alan why do we need SD channels. Lets hope Directv does the right thing and keeps all HD channels with no price increases.
