We'll see the HD soon, everyone should calm down.
Scobuck has pretty good intel, he'll let us know.
kewl - its about time you went on the record - is this your guess or from your many 'sources'?
Here's my guess on launch date for new HD channels. If D* is having authorization code problems (software) then the channels planned for the 19th will come on as soon as the problem is fixed. To me they will not resolve the issue then wait x amoun of days to launch them. They will launch them when the problem is fixed. If the problem is corrected as we speak why would they wit a few days to launch them?
I agree with your line of thinking. There was a problem( I mean this is rocket science right
), they are working to fix it. You have to give them that. Anyone that deals with any kind of equipment knows that firing up new stuff rarely goes as planned.
My estimate may be optimistic.....csrs are now saying they were informed this morning of a 3-4 week delay. They are always wrong, but usually they tell you the best case scenario, so it could be more than that.
CSRS are reliable when it comes to release dates for things.....just add at least 2 or 3 weeks to what they say.
So if I understand you correctly - you are taking what the CSRS said as the basis of your launch date post of October 15th or later, is that correct?
Yes or no answer will do.
There should be a rule on this site that automatically deletes any posts that have the words "a CSR said" or "CSR's are saying" in it... seriously, haven't they caused enough problems already?
BTW - FIOS might be the best all-around provider, but since 99.5% (or more) of us couldn't get it even if we wanted to, we have to live with what we can get....

No, I am balancing what they are saying with the predictions of my own sources and the insiders who occassionally post updates around the net, the ones who are not overly biased toward making directv look good anyway, like bschenider. They think the delay won't be quite that long, so I'm taking the safe approach.
