Crunch Time - Wednesday 9/26/2007

[OzMan]

So, is the launch going to be on Wednesday or not? (I am happy with the testing, but IMO, that should have been done earlier.)

There's a strange quiet. Can you smell the fear? :yikes

they will have pissed off people if they don't launch

While I am hoping that some new HD channels go live tomorrow, it is almost as entertaining to watch these boards if they don't go up!

Its a win win.

I think we'll just see a re-launch of current HD channels. HD Theater will be renamed Discovery HD, TNT-HD = TBS and so on....nobody will even notice !!! sneaky indeed

True that!

I'm betting they go live sometime tomorrow.

With all the feedback from this forum and others Directv has ironed out most of the problems.

Thank You All !

What I think is funny is how mad people are getting that the HD versions of existing channels haven't launched. I am more excited for NEW HD channels even if they don't have that much content (e.g. Smithsonian) Sure I would rather watch something in HD but even without the launch you really aren't missing anything.

scott's update this afternoon indicated 100 percent go for launch sometime tomorrow!

 

[mdicki01]

Well they promised by the end of september, this is the end of september so they have to give us something soon. If not I have a feeling the call centers will be flooded with so many calls the CSR's will drowned

I'm kind of thinking along these lines. You got your HD on 9300 And 9300 and you got nothing. There is only going to be about 3 new channels. And all this BS for that?

Unbelievable. You come up with some outlandish prediction and based on that, you criticize D* for it. Can you at least wait and see what happens first?

Methinks Fxstsb is being a pessimist today so he can be an optimist tomorrow.

I wish D* would send us all a txt message when they turn them on.

Neil,
fxstb has been this way since he started posting, at least as long as I have seen him posting.

5 to 1 odds in favor.

 

[aspanjer]

Can you ever beileve a CSR?

A CSR on Sunday told me Tuesday or Weds. At this point that means tomorrow, but when are CSR's right about what will happen? ~~~ RARELY in my experience!

 

[VegasDen]

What is Vegas saying?

Er ah...the odds posted at a few sports books I ventured into say the over/under is 26 1/2.

 

[KE4EST]

Just be patient!!!
