Comedy chanel in HD I cold not sleep this morning (01/26/2009 330 AM CST) and got up to watch tv. I was just flipping through channels and found the Comedy channel in HD. I checked the Directv website and this channel is not listed with the HD content. Is this just a test or has the channel...

Nothing too earth shattering here but the weather channel has begun testing it's new HD studio and will probably start all HD broadcasts on June 2 2008. Here is a link to their press release Numerous Cable Systems Launch The Weather Channel HD as Network Enters Final Stage of Transition to...

Last night I tried to watch the Spurs and Kings on Fox Sports SW. The channel was unavailable. Anyone know why the channel was not available? I had a similar problem with ESPN2 last week. ESPN2 has worked fine since then. Both channels were showing basketball games (ESPN2 - college). Neither...

We were watching HGTV-HD this afternoon and we commented how beautiful the picture quality was. I think the quality on the BigTen network for basketball has also been outstanding, better than ESPN HD. So in a nutshell, I don't think the picture quality is suffering.

When Directv launched it's first wave of HD channels, the SD channel would appear first and then by selecting channel up you would receive the HD channel. Maybe this has been touched upon by others, but today I noticed that the HD channels are coming in first and if you channel up, you'll get...

I have been very happy with the HD channels that Directv has offered. I am still hoping to get the Tennis Channel in HD before the Australian Open (Davis Cup is done). I noticed the CW (channel 39 - Houston) and channel 20 (network unknown to me) are both offered in HD. Anyone know when these...

Last night I just about overdosed on basketball. I subscribe to Choice Extra and do not subscribe to any regional sports packages. I was bored and started flipping through the channels and much to my amazement, I was able to receive every NBA game that was in progress. It was heaven!!! Is this...

I subscribe to the Choice Extra with DVR and I don't think I should be receiving NBA tv, but I started receiving this channel this evening. I went to the Directv web site and I could not find this network included with my current subscription. Is this just a teaser or is NBA tv now part of Chice...

I live in Houston and was wondering if Directv has any plans to broadcast Telemundo, Univision or Galavios in HD? Thanks.

big ten games I can not give you a clear cut yes/no answer. I follow Wisconsin football and the first game of the year against WSU was on ABC but was not shown in Houston (where I live). I set the DVR to record the game on ESPN but the game was on Channel 210 (ESPN alternate). Last week...

another newbie Good Morning, Just wanted to say hello. I live in Houston, TX and recently switched back to Directv from Comcast. I found this site while trying to do research on when the new HD channels would be available. This site has a wealth of information and I am grateful to all the...
