Phew thanks for the reminder I had it written on my calendar as tomorrow night! (Whoops!)
Unfortunately won't be able to watch it live as I will be at the Monday Night Raw show at the Hartford Civic Center.
GO DIRECTV 12!
It IS tomorrow night.....in Russia!
It will be several months of eager anticipation while they go through testing to see what this new bird brings us in terms of programming! I for one am hoping for my locals in HD....tired of messing with antennas!
I'm glad for two things today, the launch is finally here and there is a light in the HD limitation tunnel, and the launch is at a resonable time to watch - not at 2 in the morning.
Here is a timeline of what to expect after the launch:
