What does it take to add The Travel Channel HD? I can't believe that we are still waiting. You can't tell me that there is no room. Looks like D* stopped adding HD channels. Why?

Have you tried using the search function to get an answer to your questions? There are many threads already on this issue.

Keep in mind that Cox now owns the Travel Channel.

As for me, a Cox subscriber, I'm getting it May 22. I kid you not. (Some Cox markets have had it for a while, but the way our market works...)

Probably some time in 2010, when D12 starts transmitting to customers. DirecTV doesn't seem interested in adding any new HD channels.

How did you come up with that date ? LOL :rolleyes:

1. new sat D12 launch target date is end of september 2009.
2. allow 2 months of usual testing post launch.
3. takes us to around december 1, 2009....by march 1, 2010 then gives it a 3 month time frame cushion to get it added along with all the other HD channels that are waiting.

Its called a guess....look up the word guess in the dictionary....unless u have to google dictionary as well.


Cowboy, please tell me that you're a DirecTV employee. Nobody could be this consistently and relentlessly fan-boyish without being on the payroll. :eek:

Why can't they add it earlier?

I think it was meant to replace the one of the 101 satellites. I don't know if thats still the plan , But if it is I'm quite sure some of their SD channels may make it on the D12 as well as HD.
