Even without the dedicated app, you WOULD be able to use HBO to Go on PS3 simply through the web browser if Sony could get off their ass and update the browser and Flash Player. I don't think they've updated it in over 2 years.

If HD is important to you, you should make sure to check DirecTVs lineup before you sign a contract. They have all the sports but are missing a bunch of movie and national channels.

My experience with customer support has been pretty good. They did screw me out of my referral fee, so if you sign up with a referral make sure the person referring you gets it. I lose signal only during heavy snow and rain. Although sometimes I also lose it in moderate rain with lightning. As...

Sorry to get off topic, but I can't believe they still don't have HBO On Demand either.

I said I'd give them a chance to make good with the new bird since they were out of bandwidth. That time is running out though since it has been up for over a month now, so bandwidth is no longer the issue. I'd rather not switch since it is a hassle, but I am also not going to wait until...

I'm starting to think they don't plan to add anything soon. Sucks.

I think you are looking at more than $125 after your promo ends. More like $140 probably (if you get free HD for life).

Glad to see them adding more 3D channels (which probably less than 3% of their subscribers are equipped for) while still missing a bunch of HD channels. Makes sense.

I hope so. I'd love to be able to select how many channels appear on each page (I'd like at least 10). I'd also like to be able to disable those annoying ads. Also, I never understood this since digital cable has been around (this is not restricted to DTV)... why not allow users to reorder the...

I seriously doubt we will be getting these HD channels anytime soon so don't hold your breath. Unless people write/complain to DirecTV, they will DEFINITELY not add them. So, please write or call them, and do it regularly, like I do. Give them a list of the things you want. Here is my list...

Make sure you write to them and ask for it. And keep doing that every few months. That's what I do with HBO On Demand as well as all the HD channels I am still waiting for. Unless people are asking for stuff, they are not going to offer it since it costs them money.

I have all the movie channels and I find myself watching AMC more than any others. While HBO may be better for new releases, AMC kills all the rest when it comes to classics. I just wish it wasn't censored. Censorship sucks.

I'm still waiting for: AMC G4 BBCA Outdoor Channel ...and all the Cinemax channels. I'm thankful that they have finally made an effort to add looooooong overdue HD, let's hope they don't just sit back now. I have a bad feeling that we have pretty much gotten all we are going to get for quite a...

AMC HD BBCAmerica HD G4 Outdoor Channel All CineMax channels

Not that thin... I can think of about 20 channels I am still waiting for (I know we are getting a handful in a few weeks but who knows how long for the rest). By the time D14 launches, I'm sure we'll still be missing some channels available today and then add to that all the new ones that launch...

Unfortunately VOD isn't an option for live sporting events. However, I agree with the frustration of DTV adding 3D, when almost no one has the hardware for it and they are still missing about 20 HD channels I want.

If you live in the NYC area, can you watch the Mets and Yankees on the MLBEI channels when the games are on local channels 9 and 11? Or are they blacked out? I ask because I am curious about having service address in NYC, with MLBEI package but being outside spotbeam range for NY WWOR 9 and NY CW11.

So, there are no Padres games for MLBEI subscribers nationwide or do the blackouts only affect subscribers in southern California?

I use a custom list too and thought new additions would be added but apparently not. I personally used the Wikipedia page to find out the channel numbers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_DirecTV_channels_%28United_States%29

So, I've tuned to this channel a couple of times to check it out since it went live. Is the channel logo on the screen all the time (I haven't watched a full movie yet)? That thing is huge and solid white - it could be the most obnoxious banner yet and will certainly burn into the screen...

I think they already added GolTV and Univision. I know they added 2 spanish HD channels recently - I'm just not sure which 2 since I don't speak spanish along with 90%+ of DTV's customers - so they are useless to me.

I know we are getting off-topic, but that's a great post. I wish the FCC would step and to put policies in place. Providers should be forced to list the number of national networks, regional networks and ppv separately so that consumers have the REAL info to make decisions. All of these...

Considering only 12% of Americans speak Spanish, this would be the obvious choice for the first 2 new HD channels to go live. Awesome.

Decent start. Hopefully they will continue to add new channels. Kind of disappointed to see 25% of the new channels are more HD PPV when there are still lots of channels left to provide. I'm still waiting for: AMC HD BBCA Outdoor Channel HD G4 HD Cinemax HD ActionMAX HD MoreMAX HD ThrillerMAX...
