New HD tip offs?

[cebbigh]

Just wondering if D adds HD (prior to D12 going live) if there is any source we can follow that lets us have a hint ahead of time (like the Uplink Center for Dish)? I know there are rumors but it would be nice to see something.

hate to mention this but dbstalk has people who post dtv uplink reports, usually every week.....sometimes more frequent if there is any anticipation of more hd coming.

DIRECTV HD - Current Listing - DBSTalk.Com

for any hints. Sixto keeps an eye on the Ka satellite transponder and posts any changes that he sees.

Also, Satelliteracer generally gives a day or two advance notice when there are new channels coming, although he never says exactly which ones.

Thanks. I'll check it out.

When new channels are added they will appear in your guide and you have to go to your favorites list and uncheck them if you don't want them.

I don't think they will appear in your favorites list automatically. IIRC, you have to add any new channels to the list yourself.

Stonecold (a D* CSR supervisor) posted this list back in early Jan from the info they had:

His previuos information has proved accurate, I would expect these to be among the first channels added when D12 is finished testing (April).

I think that Fearnet is goin to be a VOD channel.

That is still the current list from our offical reference system .... Any agent should give the same list of upcomming hd channels.

I would think that Travel Channel will be in the first wave as well....
