Nice reporting

DISH never had football, but they DID have the other 3. Charlie was the only pay-provider not to come to an agreement with MLB (now even FiOS will have it in 2009).

Actually the other sports networks (NHL, NFL, NBA, and soon MLB) ARE NETWORKS. There is NO NASCAR network.

Well, unless some are in a major cloud, haven't many companies announced job CUTS? I see that D* only said a hiring freeze - to me that speaks of a healthy company taking some precautionary steps so that they are primed for the economic recovery. With all of the major issues now facing the...

What's interesting is that at the presentation DirecTV gave yesterday at the Media and Communications Conference (archived at DirecTV.com) they said that this was still in beta and going to be launched. The DIRECTV Group, Inc. - Events & Presentations

This is misleading as the only 4 markets that currently have PBS in HD are in Hawaii and Alaska, and that was due to the SHVERA law requiring them to offer those in those 2 states. http://www.satelliteguys.us/1102415-post5.html

Welcome to SatGuys. Thanks for the update. :)

DirecTV to announce its 3rd quarter results on Nov 6. Here is the press release with this announcement: The DIRECTV Group, Inc. - DIRECTV Announces Conference Call and Webcast For Third Quarter 2008 Financial Results and Outlook

You certainly may.

Tune in on Wednesday. :)

While I certainly can appreciate the sarcasm, I have a 'feeling' that most will approve what is coming.

I second that. :cool: Things were just a little bit too quiet.

:yes

I did.

It is appropriate to re-start this thread now.

As I had posted, I recently had the FiOs service (tripleplay) put in my house - and had one of my HDTVS included. So - I have the 102 HD channels that they advertise and it is the BEST overall selection on the market anywhere. That being said, it lacks any real national sports offerings...

Here are the headlines: DIRECTV Group Operating Profit Before Depreciation and Amortization (OPBDA) Increases 20% to $1.4 Billion -- DIRECTV U.S. Net Additions of 129,000 Driven by Lowest Second Quarter Monthly Churn Rate in Four Years of 1.49%; Complete Press Release: The DIRECTV...

Yep - funny how just because a person's preference is different than yours that they are 'simple-minded'. What a convincing argument you have there.

I agree that the article linked does not indicate any preference for or against VOOM, VOOM is only a piece of a varied content offering that Rainbow has.

Yes I have looked at the lineup - at my daughters house today. And FYI your post is inaccurate. There is NO two of ESPN or two of ESPN2, and there is not a TNT east or west. The only channels with east and west versions are some of the movie channels (which is exactly what DirecTV counts as...

After seeing what FiOS has lit up in the NY market today (89 HD nationals, not including PPV or RSN), and seeing their roll-out schedule, they have some claim to being the HD leader in NY right now, and soon in many other markets. Made me decide to add it to one of my HDTV's to check it out...

DirecTV to light 44 more HD local markets by years end DIRECTV to Offer HD Local Channels in 121 Markets by Year-End With Launch of 44 New HD Markets More Than 88 Percent of U.S. Television Homes Will Have Access to Local HD Channels from DIRECTV EL SEGUNDO, Calif., Jul 28, 2008 (BUSINESS...

Actually what it says on DirecTV's website is: "81 Not really. They count 24 part-time channels." DIRECTV: All About HD - Compare competition

I think I will get up at about 6am. :cool:

They are funky - agreed. But they BOTH count them, so to me it's a wash.
