    DirecTV version of DishAnywhere

    I have thought about maybe getting a Chromecast specifically so that I can watch my DirecTV in one of the rooms that doesn't have a receiver installed. Will that D* app work on Chromecast, or can I just bring up the webpage where I can get the DirecTV Player software like I would on the computer?

    Al Jazeera America shutting down

    I like NewsMax, but it seems like OAN has more news throughout a 24 hour cycle than NewsMax. NewsMax has a lot of great history documentaries though. I wouldn't compare CNN to Fox News in terms of offering news, but everybody is entitled to their opinion. I won't shout out hatred or flame bait...

    Al Jazeera America shutting down

    I am bummed and would love to see Al Jazeera English replace it, but I seriously doubt that will happen. If the rumors of One America News replacing it are true, I honestly don't mind. I would love to see a respectable conservative news channel like OAN to compete with Fox "News."

    Comedy.TV & Justice Central HD TV

    If it's part of the court settlement, I'd bet the other channels will be eventually be added to DirecTV too. No mention of Automotive.TV though for Uverse or DirecTV.

    Channel 384 Revolt TV HD is Live

    As a fan of hip hop, I must say that I'm glad DirecTV finally got Revolt....in HD no less. After that, the only other music channel I'd like to see is Soundtrack Channel. I will agree that Comedy.TV HD and Justice Central HD seem like a waste though, and I'm a huge comedy fan too. I think I...

    Comedy.TV & Justice Central HD TV

    I guess this has been posted on AVSForum as well, and it looks like it will ONLY be Justice Central HD and Comedy.TV HD instead of the whole ES.TV suite. If the news is true, DirecTV subscribers will see those channels tomorrow at some point. I'm guessing it's true though because even...

    Channel 384 Revolt TV HD is Live

    Yeah. I won't argue there. Looks like DirecTV recently added religious channel The Impact Network on channel 380 too.

    Channel 384 Revolt TV HD is Live

    Maybe they didn't put Revolt by BET because they may eventually get BET Gospel, BET Hip Hop, and/or BET Jams and they want all BET channels together? I wouldn't mind seeing BET Hip Hop, but I don't imagine the demand being too high for those.

    Master List US English National Satellite & Cable Channels

    The list looks good. The only things I noticed are that Russia Today America isn't included in the News section and no HBOs in the Movie section.

    Name a channel/channels you want DirecTV to add...

    Iceberg is spot on about the Roku for international news channels. Not only is there an app to watch France 24 English, but also the these channels (though some don't have their own apps): CCTV News, CNC World, Deutsche Welle, EuroNews, i24 News, NDTV 24x7, NHK World, RTE News Now, Russia Today...

    Will DIRECTV Add Al Jazeera In HD This Week?

    True, but I'm guessing you haven't been a member of this forum for as long as I have if you have never seen somebody say stuff like that. Maybe those people finally realize Scott and the moderators won't tolerate it. I haven't see the Fox News hate in awhile either, thankfully.

    Universal Sports TV Channel Slated To Shut Down Next Month

    Perhaps maybe this will be more of an incentive to Dish to add the upcoming Olympics Channel that will be launching next year.

    Will DIRECTV Add Al Jazeera In HD This Week?

    I am pretty sure DirecTV pays to carry the channel, so the HD version at best is provided free. Probably a small fee though. I wish DirecTV would add i24, Sky News,

    Will DIRECTV Add Al Jazeera In HD This Week?

    I just hope we don't have any ignorant idiots who complain "We now have the ISIS support channel in HD, but I can't get 'fill in the blank' HD yet?!" Not a huge fan of the channel, but its news coverage is just as reputable as some America-based news channels I have seen.

    Comcast Sues DirecTV Over 'Deceptive' Claims of 'Free' Televised NFL Games & Response from DIRECTV

    Wow. CSN Philly may carry some great local sports programming, but that is pathetic at $6 a month. I guess if somebody can argue they offer more than ESPN itself, then maybe it's at least worth $5. Not sure it's possible though.

    Comcast Sues DirecTV Over 'Deceptive' Claims of 'Free' Televised NFL Games & Response from DIRECTV

    I think that's very wrong of Comcast cuz if I'm arguing for Sunday Ticket to be available, Philly fans should have better access to CSN Philly and even CSN Southwest. I bet Comcast would probably give Dish and other cable operators a much better rate if they weren't probably just jacking up the...

    Comcast Sues DirecTV Over 'Deceptive' Claims of 'Free' Televised NFL Games & Response from DIRECTV

    I concur. Waste of time. I think we could argue all night on faults that pretty much every company has. DirecTV just has a bigger target on it's back because CSN Philly isn't a nationwide service like Sunday Ticket. Ideally, I'd love to see a collective of cable companies and maybe even Dish...

    Comcast Sues DirecTV Over 'Deceptive' Claims of 'Free' Televised NFL Games & Response from DIRECTV

    I can't comment on the CSN situation cuz I am not even switched from Dish Network to Comcast yet. I will agree with you that it's shady how Comcast does it, but DirecTV plays the same tricks with even bigger programming. Pot calling the kettle black there.

    Comcast Sues DirecTV Over 'Deceptive' Claims of 'Free' Televised NFL Games & Response from DIRECTV

    Says the person who won't have an intelligent argument and just decides to insult someone for their opinions on the matter. Opinions are like a$$holes, everyone has one. How bout voicing your opinion like some at least half your age and not acting like a giant...well...opinion?

    Comcast Sues DirecTV Over 'Deceptive' Claims of 'Free' Televised NFL Games & Response from DIRECTV

    LOL. I can't have a battle of wits with a completely unarmed person. Saying an exclusive video game contract is the same as an exclusive TV channel / package contract or exclusive ice cream deal (bring back WWE ice cream bars!) only proves my point. I'm predicting that someone thinks they...

    Comcast Sues DirecTV Over 'Deceptive' Claims of 'Free' Televised NFL Games & Response from DIRECTV

    We should probably just close this thread since there will just be a fountain of skewed opinion, mis-information and completely unrelateable arguments. Comcast apparently got what they wanted and dropped the lawsuit. The fact is DirecTV will have Sunday Ticket for at least a few more years...

    Comcast Sues DirecTV Over 'Deceptive' Claims of 'Free' Televised NFL Games & Response from DIRECTV

    I think we've settled the argument about the differences between antitrust issues and exclusive contracts. Selective reading much? I know DirecTV's Sunday Ticket contract isn't illegal, although anybody that doesn't have DirecTV has the common sense to see that it should be. NFL is more...

    Comcast Sues DirecTV Over 'Deceptive' Claims of 'Free' Televised NFL Games & Response from DIRECTV

    I was waiting for another troll post from a DirecTV customer with a rediculous argument. Video games are an entirely different industry and the combined income from EVERY exclusive title on BOTH systems wouldn't match the money that could be made off of Sunday Ticket. And yes, I'm including...

    Comcast Sues DirecTV Over 'Deceptive' Claims of 'Free' Televised NFL Games & Response from DIRECTV

    Slightly similar, but at least Madden can be bought for a PS3 and 360. Even PS2 still if I'm not mistaken. Sunday Ticket, you have DirecTV or you don't have Sunday Ticket. That's why Justin.TV will be put to good use once I get my high speed internet going. I would feel guilty getting my...

    DirecTV launches Hurricane Irene Info Channel (ch 259)

    I wish I could get as thorough a coverage on Dish. I have some family living on the coast, and my thoughts & prayers are with everybody affected by this.
