DirecTV New HD channel additions and rumors

[whitewolf8214]

I'm still holding out hope that we get the Military Channel in HD, but I have a feeling it is pretty far down the list

Same here that is 1 channel I want as a few others

I'm very happy. After my switch to DirecTV in late 2011 because of loss of my RSN's on Dish I was bummed I lost out on a number of HD channels I received with Dish. With today's additions I can say I now am down to one channel I wish DirecTV had that I miss from Dish "EPIX HD".

Come on DirecTV just give us the opportunity to pick up Epix in an Add on package.

They sure are.

I'd LOVE to be able to drop one of the more useless movie stations in Premier for EPIX. A pick 4 or something like that would rock.

Anyone got a total number on full time HD channels now? And, does anyone remember when all we had in HD was ESPN, HDNet, HDNet Movies, Universal HD, and ....uh, crap! What was the last one?! We only had 5 HD channels! What was the fifth? That's gonna drive me crazy...

correction/addition
per the web archive back in 2004 it was 10.99

Our HD Package includes ESPN HD, Discovery HD Theater™, HDNet and HDNet Movies - all for just $10.99 per month.

There was also CBS, HBO, Showtime and yes Spice


Then looking in 06 it was dropped to 9.99 and did include TNT
The DIRECTV HD Package includes TNT HD, ESPN HD, ESPN2 HD, Discovery HD Theater™, HDNet, HDNet Movies and Universal HD — all for just $9.99 per month.

I remember back even further when they came out with the very first RCA unit--the DTC 100--and the only channel you could get on it was HBO in HD... don't know how long that lasted. I know circa 2004 is when I finally went to HD and got the 4 channel package for 10.99...
