HD Channels? While we're rumoring, any idea what HD channels will be offered and when?

For me it was two or three months before the discount showed up. I used this site: http://www.bellsouth.com/consumer/directv/existing_customer.html

I get a $10 credit on my bill for having BellSouth Complete Choice.

Doesn't VOD require a two way street? For example, say I want to watch a particular movie. It's not on PPV and I don't have it on DVD, etc. Would I possibly key in on my STB the name of the movie I want to watch and the STB dials home and then the movie is up-lifted to the sat from the movie...

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade but the way I read it, 2005 will be dedicated to bringing HD locals to each market. The majority of us already get them via OTA antenna. Looks like we'll have to wait until 2007 for any more national HD channels to be added. :mad:

I subscribe to the Sports Package but I get alternative programming when I tune in to watch the Redskin's last pre-season game against Atlanta. I was allowed to watch the pre-game show but when it became game time they switched me to an alternative feed. They have done this before and I don't...

I'm curious fredfa, what kind of setup do you have that requires you to use your TV as your HD tuner? Does your HD-TIVO not have your local digitals? Anyway, I've had my HD-TIVO since June and like it very much. The two things I don't like are the sluggish guide and the fact that it...

The McDonald's analogy is a very good one but it fails. Here is why: "My" McDonald's has every person in town as a customer (EVERYONE, bar none, in town has D* as their provider). If three more McDonalds' offering the same thing I am (3 cable companies WITH ST) move in, I would indeed be in a...

I disagree with your premise. ALL cable providers realize ST is a major part of the reason that D* has 13 mil subscribers and want to level the playing field and stop the bleeding of subscribers switching to D*. Even if the price stays the same for ST in the next contract, $400 mil x 1 is less...

My prediction is that D* will continue to have Sunday Ticket to offer to its subscribers so I wouldn't be too concerned about that. Where the change will be is that it will no longer be exclusively on D*. If you read between the lines the NFL said as much with the last ST contract renewal with...

It should not matter where you live to get these RSNs as long as you subscribe to the Sports Package. Since VOOM does not have one of those yet, making it impossible to subscribe to it, VaVaVoom should do it. Directv does have a sports package, if you subscribe you get all the RSNs, if you...

So you're now getting nothing more than E*s HD package plus HBO on a STB that you had previously bought? And then you're comparing that to paying a monthly lease fee for your STB from Voom because you did not buy it on top of paying for the VaVaVoom package? Well, enjoy your 6 or 7 channels at...

Anyone have a clue why I can get a perfect picture on one channel, say Starz-HD but get so many breakups, like in a heavy thunderstorm, that another channel, say StarzW-HD is totally unwatchable???? Everything's coming off the same sat right? Makes no sense. Also my receiver stopped...

I totally blew out a new Velodyne DD-12 subwoofer watching this movie with a Yamaha Z9 9.1 system. The cone separated from the rest of the speaker. At least Tweeter is switching it out for a DD-15. :shocked

To each his own I guess. The Bravo SD channel has content worth watching. I was hoping Bravo-HD would be the High Def versions ah la HBO, Showtime, etc. but the current Bravo-HD channel content is a waste of bandwidth, IMHO of course...But then again I like Country Music. Go Toby Keith, Garth...

Having both Directv base pkg + Hd package and Va Va Voom I already get ESPN-HD along with Hdnet and Hdnet movies. Instead of duplication (like Discovery HD) I'd like Voom to add stuff that I can't already get like INHD 1 & 2 programming, TNT-HD, NBA-TV HD or anything else currently available or...

I have both so here's the way I do it. First of all, I was a DirecTV Premier customer, taking everything they had to offer. I cut that back to just Total Choice w/ the High Def package. With Va Va Voom I'm still out about the same monthly with a ton more HDTV. When Voom adds ESPNHD, I'll...

Well, here goes again (first post did not show up) Anyway, My locals were still not working about ten days after contacting Wilt. Then I read on this or this Yahoo Voom forum that I needed to go into the hidden service menu and do a factory reset to make it take. Sure enough, 5 minutes...

My install in Charlotte went without a hitch. I have always done self installs of my DirecTV dish as I've moved over the years so I was able to help the guy out quite a bit. My OTA mapping was a little hosed up for a couple of weeks but after emailing that Wilt fellow on the Yahoo Voom...
