    Thinking of upgrading to directv HD

    Thanks everyone for the tips. I most likely will stay with Directv when my Tube HDTV finally goes. The picture is still great on it so I don't want to get rid of it just yet. I am actually surprised it has lasted this long. When I bought the tv it was at the top of the technology food chain. It...

    XM Radio on D*

    The key is to have the Directv receiver hooked to your 5.1 stereo so you can turn off the tv and listen to the clear commercial free music. I think it is a great service. Also, Dish has Sirius for their customers. It will be interesting to see if they change their services after the two (XM and...

    Are you Ready for Directv's new HD Channels in September?

    I am not making a move until I see what ch's they have up and running in Sept. I have waited this long, I can wait longer. I hope they offer something to me because I am ready for Fios in November in my area. I am going to weigh the 2 offers and go with the better of the two.

    12 more HD channels by the end of March?

    When I first bought my HDTV I was hungry for any HD that I could get my hands on. When I subbed to VOOM everything was nice and now that I sub to Directv I don't even pay for the HD ch's anymore. Directv has taken forever to get things going. I can't see how they would have increased their HD...

    HDMI Cables

    It's really difficult to answer this question because to truely know if there is a difference you would have to find someone who has a high end cable and a low end cable. I was in BB this week and I saw a HDMI cable for $144. That's just too high of a price for me.

    It's still kind of disappointing that Direct doesn't have the ch now though.

    D* sponsoring creation of New HD channels?

    I just dropped the VOOM package because I never really watched any of it. It's a good value but I found myself never watching any of it. It just doesn't appeal to me. Alot of re-runs and stuff that I am not interested in. Not all of it is bad....I'm just saying for me it seems to be alot of...

    Dish Adds Another HD Channel - Food Network

    At this rate and the current PQ of the HD ch's that are on and being added....I hav e lost interest in the HD that is being provided by both Directv and Dish. I sub to both providers and really haven't watched or been compelled to watch any HD for a long while. I am looking foward to replacing...

    Will Voom ever be carried on DirecTV ?

    Never say never....but I wish Directv would carry the VOOm ch's. Voom isn't all bad...there some stuff that I watch on the ch's.

    Who would want Voom on DirecTV ???

    Yes.....I remember when Directv was trying to get INHD....at least it sounded that way. I'm really getting bored with VOOM and some other HD ch's now. I still like watching network HD for the sports and all.

    Who would want Voom on DirecTV ???

    I tell you something.....I'm a Directv sub and Dish sub just for the HD....20 bucks a mth....and I haven't felt like I needed to tune into what the VOOM ch's have had on at all. A ton of repeats...they need new material. I would like INHD but I do realize it is an only cable ch.

    Leasing Rumor/Info

    I also can't see that Directv would set the price that high. We will just have to wait and see....but I would hope it isn't true.

    TNT-HD now live on Directv !!!!

    When they show a movie in True HD it usually looks very good. I love this ch for their weekend movie selection. Also, you will find that the sound is great....better than some of the pay ch's.

    TNT HD full-page ad

    Yea...reminds me how my wife will sit and watch the olympics on the std nbc while we have NBC-DT on Direct. It kills me. They just don't care.

    TNT HD on D* 2/17/06

    A big step in the right direction in my eyes. I have been talking about this since tnt-hd came about. It really is about time. Very good deal for Direct......I feel that tnt-hd takes alot of unfair criticism. Yes some stuff is not true HD but there is enough on the ch to make it when of the best...

    Whie the Dish folks are Celebrating...

    I have been a sub to both providers and I tell you that Directv's lack of HD gets me sick. I love football and all.....but I have a family and am not able to watch a ton of it for 17 Sundays to make it all worth while for me. I feel that the Sunday ticket is way overpriced. To me it is an insult...

    DirecTV HD Rumor

    When it comes to Directv adding or rumored to add any new national HD ch, I find the whole topic depressing. Maybe by the second quarter of 2007 they will be ready.

    Chase Carey calls VoOm "crap"...

    I have both Directv an Dishnet and I would take Dishnet PQ for HD over Directv PQ for HD anyday. However, Directv's PQ on STD ch's is a bit better than DIshnet's. But I'm waiting for Directv's HD pack to improve before I make a choice. I don't think anyone in here could be truely satisfied with...

    Chase Carey calls VoOm "crap"...

    In my opinion, there is enough on Voom not to call it crap. Everytime I look at Directv's HD pack I get depressed. First....the package is missing TNTHD. I work about 80 hrs a week and I like to have the option of watching some of their movies on the weekend. Second...their HD really doens't...

    DIRECTV Price Increase 3/1/06???

    The dollar decrease just goes to show you that even they know that their HD pack is lacking some ch's.

    Wall Street notices D* losing HDTV battle

    Tell you the truth....the Voom ch's don't really impress me either. There are alot of movies and shows they show over and over again. The Voom ch's that I missed dearly when Voom went under were MonstersHD and Rave. I can't get enough of the horror and monster movies. My son watches a couple of...

    Wall Street notices D* losing HDTV battle

    The last straw for me was when Directv could not answer my simple question.....where is my TNTHD? Simply put.....no answer. I wanted one ch...that just happens to be on every other provider available to me. Don't get me wrong, I don't always watch tnthd but I do watch alot of their movies on the...

    What will you do if D* doesn't announce new national HD channels today???

    I made the switch to Dish HD only pack f or 19.99 and dropped and dropped my HD pack on my Directv sub. For 8 bucks more a mth I gained the VOOM ch's plus got TNTHD. The VOOM ch's I watch alot are MonstersHD and RAVE. But it's really been a good move for me.
