Al Jazeera America is probably the best cable news today as compare to CNN, MSNBC, or the sensational FOX cable news that's loaded with propaganda. Al Jazeera contents are very similar to that of BBC World except that they have much deeper substance. Thank you DTV.

I wouldn’t bet on it; the trend has just begun. The churn rates will continue to rise for both providers (DTV and Dish). The DBS TV is a declining business. People that are under 30 prefer tablets and smartphones for their entertainments, and NOT through a bulky satellite dish. Besides, most...

The whole industry is greedy and out of whack. These content providers such as Viacom have always been using subscribers (hostages) as pawns for their blackmailing. My solution is DTV should revamp its business model completely in that DTV should eliminate packages in its entirety. All channel...

You people are worrying about AMC. Let’s look at the bigger picture where entertainment business itself is transforming (i.e. Apple store, Amazon store, Android eco-system, and Windows Surface store) while content providers (Dish, DTV, etc.) are all heading toward their new business model...

Yeah, I bet DirecTV CEO would love to get hold of Dish! None of you here has any clue on what is happening. The point is Dish will “never” merge with a legacy dinosaur like DirecTV. So, dream on! Why? This is because Dish is diversifying its business model towards the more lucrative...

The point is, it does not matter of what the causes were. What really matters now is how DTV must do whatever it can to keep its existing customers from leaving and that is exactly what the article has indicated (providing more incentives to existing customers with HDs).

It’s obvious that you have not examined DTV’s latest 10-K. Directv lost 3.654M subs (disconnections) during 2011 (5.6% losses from previous year) while gained 4.316M subs (additions) during 2011 (4.7% gains from previous year). The trend in losses are surpassing any gains prcentage-wise and at...

“[*** The two policy decisions prompted some subscribers to leave, adding to DIRECTV's churn rate. Although DIRECTV was still able to add 662,000 net subscribers in 2011, there's little doubt that the number would have been higher if HD enthusiasts and football fans were better treated. Now...

TV Prediction is reporting that DTV has finally caved in to customer’s demands for more HD channels. There will be more HD channels coming in the next few weeks to avoid exodus of loyal customers. DIRECTV to Subs: We Need You Now!

I have no problem with DTV raising the subscription fee by over 50% or more on packages if they are committed to provide the same HD channels that Dish is currently offering (i.e.BBCHD, TCMHD, NATWild-HD, HistIntl-HD, etc.). I am sure everyone here would agree with me on this.

I don’t own an HR34 Media Center unit but I was still curious. This article may help you with your Home Media Center setup. Solid Signal Blog - Hands on with DIRECTV+Samsung's RVU solution!! It says: “Note: DIRECTV recommends using a coax line for best results. A regular ethernet cable...

You are absolutely right. DTV is only interested in providing the "latest and the greatest" gadget but never interested in customer values such as providing decent content (i.e. more HD programming). I have a HD plasma TV and it's been wasted on SD channels which I do NOT care to watch. Instead...

Many here seem to have this notion that without the local channel provisioning (provided through spot beam) they will be denied access to the 4-6 nationally broadcasted network channels using OTA alone. This is simply not the case. Directv has provided a provisioning for any subscribers that are...

I don’t know why DTV would waste bandwidth by providing local HD stations while these same stations are already being broadcasted in HD over-the-air (OTA). DTV should have simply provided a mechanism to merge these OTA-HD signals into its receiver instead of re-broadcasting them from the...

I can’t believe why people are so fascinated by this new GUI which adds nothing to its content, no substance with just more glitters. Instead of spending money on these B.S. glitters DTV should start spending more on substance like providing decent mainstream HD channels to their disappointed...

Here's a thought, CUT the TREE!

EDITED. Getting the Florida locals has nothing to do with your DTV's profile on where you reside. It has to do with the perimeter of the "spot beam". Otherwise, you might as well move to China and get your Florida local from Shanghai.

In high heels stilettos and cut off jeans?:p

Ok genius, based on your logic majority of viewers wanted DTV to negotiate for the highly sought out religious channels (SBN,GEB,GTV,TCC,TBN,WORD), country harvest channels (RFDTV,WHT), inspirational channels (INSP,DSTR,EWTN,BYU,CTN,TCT), political agenda channels (LINK,HUB,NASA,MILT). Oops...

However, there is also another possibility to why DTV hasn’t been actively pursuing HD program upgrades. DTV may simply aim to become an attractive “takeover target” by beefing up its balance sheet (cutting down on programming expense) for past few quarters. Or, there is always that other...

It is more likely that every one of those D14 slots is reserved for the targeted 1000 PPVs and 3Ds, just like the once anticipated D12 was. My Humble Opinion.

Like I’ve said DTV has already locked-in many of us suckers into a contract so they have no incentive in spending a dime on customer values like having a decent Network HDs (i.e. AMC-HD). They are betting that customers will not pay the hefty penalty of breaking their contracts and in some...

I cannot see how anyone can defend DTV like some of you here. Here is a fact: When D12 (last satellite-2009) was launched and became operational in mid-2010 DTV immediately raised the subscription fee of everyone (presumably to pay for the new satellite) while majority of subscribers did not...

Wow, displaying so much hostility on something so trivial! You need to relax and take your medication.

I believe your original comment was: " if they announced ahead of time, the competition could conceivably put that channel up first and beat Directv to the punch." Unless I've failed to understand English I was responding correctly to your post: "You mean Dish (beat Directv to the punch)...
