Wow - it has been so long since I have frequented any DBS board at all or posted here even that I was completely oblivious until now that DBSForums was down - never mind for good. Conversation there had dwindled down significantly for a long time before it shut down though and the writing was...

Here is a list of the channels my wife and I'd like to see in high-definition on DirecTV someday (channels prepended with an '*' are my wife's choices - hey my job is to keep her happy too): ABC CBS CW FOX NBC PBS TV One SciFi Channel Chiller Channel An NBC/Universal...

So, where the hell are they in Maine already? I'd switch in a minute, but Verizon is a pain in the *** because they have thus far refused to build in Maine and frankly, I'm sick of waiting for them. When they do build in Maine, I may just spite them for having to have waited for so long.

It needs to be updated now that Chiller is exclusive to DirecTV.

If Murdoch leaves, it is very possible that DirecTV might possibly enter into a new agreement with TIVO at some point. I'm hoping so and usually that's a good sign of things to come. ;)

I am truly hoping that this is the catalyst to DISH offering real TIVO service within its own DVRs. If this were to happen, DirecTV would have no choice, but to follow once they saw their own churn numbers to Comcast, Cox and DISH Network. Please Charlie, if you are reading this thread, let's...

It seems I can sure end a thread. It must be one of my super powers. ;)

Precisely DS0816 - DirecTV knows that they need to prod NBC/Universal to get off its proverbial *** and create a SciFi-HD channel so that DirecTV can offer it next year. Well said. ;)

I doubt the update is really coming. The announcement was forwarded and removed on the same day. People have stopped rumoring about it for the most part. And DirecTV retention CSR and retention management know nothing of the 6.3 update on the HR10-250, but they do know that the new DirecTV HD...

You have to appreciate this. Good going Sony. I hope the other game console producing companies take note of this and I hope your PS-3 is very successful.
