All this fighting make me want to cry.
I am hearing we may get an 'HD Bone' thrown to us by the end of the year but that is about it. Lets just play nice and have positive thoughts for D12.

Gameplan HD is one option I would like to see. But I will take ESPNU HD, AMC HD, Travel Channel HD, Lifetime HD, Hallmark HD, TCM HD and E! HD + Style HD(My wife watches and I get sick of the horrible picture on my 37").
Also like everyone else Prem. HD. I have Starz and Showtime deal now. It sucks with all the Encore channels in SD.
No one said D* sucks. If thats how you feel then thats too bad.
All most of us are saying is D* better increase their offerings to the rest of their customers this time around. Not just cater to the NFL ST Subscribers.
I came to this thread to see the latest about the new sat going up soon .....
To bad theres no info outside of the first few pages .................
For some reason it turned into a "What so and so has vs D*"
Nothing to do even remotely about the upcoming Sat Launch .

Yeah, drop the other stuff, lets talk about launch updates, please. Create a new thread for wishful thinking HD stuff or something.

Honestly guys, most of what has been said so far has dealt with what we hoped would or would not be added when the new sat launches. I really dont see any one person taking it in any other direction as far as a bash D* thread.
That said, it really hasnt dealt with news of the launch I guess, so sorry about that. Ill let this one go I guess.
Hopefully we get some news soon.:up

A company spent MILLIONS of dollars to buy a sat and get it off the earth... Who the HELL thinks they don't have a plan? Wether that plan is smart or stupid.... they are COMMITTED!!!
i thought so too. channel additions are tied with this launch so i thought it was ok to talk about it.

Rey. That type of talk is fine IMO. It is all the other BS that I have a problem with. Why does this thread have to have things about why I won't come back to Directv or what all of their problems are in general?
What you say above is also true with E*. So its time for them to wake up and smell the roses too, and give their subs the opportunity to subscribe to YES and work out MSG HD problems, so the better than 20 million people in New York State and the bordering communities, don't have to go to other providers to get their teams in HD.
There won't be much "news" until the ILS lauch blog for D12 starts up. Looking for news over a long holiday weekend is pretty silly if you think about it.
As for the millions spent on buying the satellite, I will remind you that D12 was originally commissioned as an on-ground spare for D10 and D11.
There's also an issue of wanting to have a BSS presence that may be driving the rush.

This is true, but did you really expect it to NOT be the next one to go up ?
I would not be at all surprised if D* has the next sat being built as a spare for this one as well.
