    Two new hd channels on directv

    They are considering shutting down the U-Verse TV WEBSITE by the end of May, not the entire U-Verse TV service according to the original post on FierceCable.com. They don't want to attract new customers. They are wanting to phase out U-Verse, but that will take several years.

    Why does neither satellite provider provide C-Span 3?

    Charter cable in Fort Worth went all digital a few months ago and now has over 200 HD channels including all three C-SPANs and E and W feeds of the premium channels. I would consider them if they offered decent equipment. Their DVRs only have 2 tuners and record about 50 hours of HD. They...
