DirecTV New HD channel additions and rumors

[gpollock87]

I posted the list in 16 but nah they'll say "we have Logo and Oprah Network in HD"

i won't!!! hahahaha

 

[whitewolf8214]

oh come on admit it...If D* launched Fearnet you'd be burning up D*'s phone line ordering and have your Dish system ripped out a day before D* was installed

that sounds about right!

gpollock would be on the phome in minutes of it being on ordering Directv lol

I always assumed H2 was second rate or international, what's it got On H1?

don't they air a lot of the same shows?

There have been some new shows that are only on H2....some series they premiere on H2 then are on History a couple weeks later

Channels they are testing (so you dont need to click on the link)
204 Headline News
232 Cooking
253 Lifetime Movie
271 H2
285 ID
304 TVLand
541 Encore Action
559 IFC

That one I would use the most.

Cooking and H2! Absolutely perfect for my family.

 

[dtro77]

Our Local cable company added Encore Action and Encore Drama in HD.

So wonder if that means all the Encores are HD now?

The same is true for VH1 classic vs VH1. VH1 classic is much better than VH1 and has many original shows

 

[darrencp22]

H2! done. There are no other channels I now want in HD. H2 was the last one.

 

[Mr Tony]

What about IFC?

IFC isnt in HD on Dish....again the list is chanenls on E* in HD that aren't in HD on D*
IFC is uplinked on both providers.....but not available yet

 

[Mr Tony]

The same is true for VH1 classic vs VH1. VH1 classic is much better than VH1 and has many original shows

VH1 Classic plays videos...nuff said

Does't Directv have ownership in GSN? Wonder why they don't carry it in HD. Even though most games were aired before HD came along.

Re: New HD coming soon on DirecTV

You just answered your own question. There's nothing on GSN worthy of wasting HD bandwidth on.

You can say that about a lot of channels.

 

[tigerfan33]

Nice

 

[DodgerKing]

When do they go live?

 

[Neutron]

We tried to watch a few programs on ID but the SD picture SUCKS on our 57" Mitsu DLP. Can't wait for the HD version to go live!

 

[Mr Tony]

When do they go live?

unknown right now but it sounds like it will be staggered. Hopefully H2 is one of the 1st they launch
