Effective 12/15

"Effective 12/15, Discovery Kids Ch 294 will move from the CHOICE pkg to CHOICE XTRA pkg. To continue viewing Ch 294 upgrade to CHOICE XTRA today."

I found this interesting. I would if this has anything to do with it relaunching as a new channel (not yet named) co-owned Hasbro although it will not take place until late 2010.

You should add a choice in your poll for Premier. Which I have, so I haven't voted yet.

 

[cocoon]

Don't care about that channel so nothing to do.

let me guess who are the ones so far that chose cancel my d service. anyway i already have choice extra and honestly i don't care for the channel. but that's my opinion

I said cancel cause this seems like a goofy poll as a happily married man without children.

That's ONE channel out of like 10 kids channels ....

Personally, I have not voted, but I have the TC+ package so I have it already ... I guess, I've never watched it.

"Cancel my D* service" - over one channel.

LOL

That's about as funny as people saying they are going to cancel their DIRECTV service over the VERSUS channel thing.

"Tune in to Science Ch. 284. On Dec 15, customers with CHOICE pkg can view Science Channel on Ch 284. Experience the deep-dive on science, space and technology."

Well, this may have something to do with the change...

I'm not sure why anyone would ever subscribe to just the Choice package. Its a Rip off!
$56 per month, is more then what my cable company charges for basic plus.
Choice Extra is only a few bucks more for a lot more channels.

So the Science channel is changing as well, any others that we don't know about ?

Curious, are they placing messages on the screens NOW and are the messages on all screens of just if you don't have the package already ?

So you ruin the poll by participating when this does not really impact you. Instead of choosing cancel why not just ignore the poll and move on.

54 channels to be exact. Probably about 15 of them being SirrusXM channels.

I dont know where you live but where I live Comcast charges almost 60 bucks for basic cable that is with out a converter box just what ever channels they still broadcast on analog cable. xtra 10 bux for a digital box but it nly gets you like an extra 10 or so channels unless you go more expense package, in there (digital tiers )

But I will also sya that trying to compare cable companies to other cable companies is like comparing apples to oranges. Some still have decent rates forbasic cable while others are out rageous.

Time warner in the next county did a deal where for the first year you could get local tv channels only for 10 bucks a month after that it went to 20.... 10 is a deal 20 is a rip off for just locals. Then there like well within the next 2 years were switching all digital so you need a box 10 dollar fee so now your up to 30 dollars a month for something that started out at 10 .

cable in my area is also way over priced and it's a piece of s***! rather have the choice package than comcrap.

I switched a lot of customers over to Dish Network because DirecTV dumped Versus.. So it's not as laughable as you think.

Ruin the poll.

It's not like DIRECTV is going to read these poll results and reconsider.

I am sure you did, but it must be a very small percentage of Directv subscriber base.
