Want to know when D* is launching the new HD Channels?

[Scott Greczkowski]

Nope not at all.

I just matches other information I have been told.

 

[harshness]

I just got a call from a "DirecTV Lawyer" requesting that I remove this thread.

Were you satisfied that this person was really representing DIRECTV?

 

[FlyingJ]

Honest to God, never ever have had a conversation with an attorney for any major company that did not identify himself by name, can't even imagine it.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Yes I checked up the caller ID for the caller, and it is a LA Lawfirm, and they do list DirecTV as a client.

I am not worried though they have no case. And I can actually sue them.

 

[harshness]

Coming out of HD or something else????

I hadn't seen the Logo HD announcement either.

 

[ScoBuck]

103b back on

 

[yukon]

Just because the sat is up and showing signals that doesn't mean they will be actually broadcasting today?? Am I correct??

Correct. But it does mean they CAN broadcast as soon as they uplink the channels to that transponder.

 

[Mark_]

Yeah! I get a 99 on Transponder 11.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

I dont expect and channels turned on today.

I am still hearing Saturday for channels to appear.

 

[yukon]

Trying to decide if I should go home for the day or just stay till 5. At the current rate we'll still be just looking at signals at 5!! At any rate fun to follow all the info pouring in.

 

[MacDawg]

I show the following:

103b: 1-8 zero's
9-16 0 0 94 0 0 0 n/a n/a
zero's and n/a's for rest.

BTW found this at the other site which looks GREAT!

This is the document that broke the camel's back for me. The fact that it lists MTV, VH1 and CMT as separate HD channels flies in the face of DIRECTV's note on their HD Access web page that they will be adding MHD "soon".

 

[FlyingJ]

Interesting note, when I went into my to do list today it has the Phillies?Cardinals games (3) scheduled for next week on channel 647 with (and this is what made it interesting) the HD icon!

It also lists MHD in the HD Extra Pack.

MTV + VH1 = reality programming.

CMT = whatever it is.

MHD = is the new channel MTV starts every 5 years that actually plays music for a while until changing their format.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

MTV -VH1 and CMT are coming but not until next year.

Its possible they have signed deals for these channels, for now however MHD is a combo of all 3.

 

[jquaglino]

Am I reading this wrong? It seems to me that all HD subs will get all the available HD programming associated with their base packages. DirecTV is creating a new HD pack called HD Extra for those unique channels, such as MHD, MGM-HD, UHD, HDNet, HDNet Movies, etc., that don't have a corresponding standard definition channel and are charging $4.99 for it and all current DirecTV HD subscribers are grandfathered in the new package. That is the way I view the .pdf. The only people who have to pay the 4.99 are new HD subs.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

Thats the way I read it as well.

 

[jmc98]

what if you are a new sub and order before the new package do you get all the new channels and those in the hd extra pack for 9.99

I would think so.
