its called capitalism and it aint goin away
We have seen where capitalism has gotten us. We are in a total economic meltdown. IMO this type of capitalism is going away, and good riddance to it.

While D* is the leader in HD sports, they have one significant hole IMO. They need to get ESPNU HD. During college basketball and football seasons, there are a lot of games I watch on ESPNU. ESPNU HD is number one on my list of wants from D*. After that is more HBO/Max channels.

ESPNU would be nice...but would they keep it in the sports tier?, with the majority of black out channels on the sports pack I wonder why they would not add it to the total choice package, other then the obvious, preimum fee

If you listen to what some say, supposedly ESPN wants D* to put ESPNU into a lower tier package and that's the hold up. I'm not sure if I necessarily believe that because the people who say this are D* employee/fan boys who will always take D*'s side no matter what and spin everything into somebody else's fault for why D* doesn't have certain channels. However it doesn't matter to me as I have the Premier package and HD Extra package and get everything anyway.

Dump most of the shopping channels and there will be plenty of room for both sports and premiums.

I know what you are going to say. They make money off from the shopping channels. Well, as far as I'm concerned, reduce their CEO's salary by a few million and then maybe they won't need income from as many shopping channels.

I hope that the new Obama Administration investigates this ripoff. I'm paying a lot of money for this service and when I scroll through the channels it seems that more than half of them are either a shopping channel or they are playing a stupid infomercial.

You obviously have a different satellite service than I have. I'm sure the Obama administration will have more important issues to deal with than satellite programming.
 
Strong opinions expressed bluntly tend to polarize forum members and detract from productive discussion.

I was going to post "Comedy Central? Travel Channel? Locals? If I wanted crap like that, I'd have stayed with cable. Bring on the Premiums, we pay enough for them!"

but I realized I was falling into the trap mentioned above so I thought better of it.
 
Love the Premiums, always have, but.....I would probably get more use out of the regular cable channels in HD, Comedy Central (which I hear we are getting this month?), Headline News, E!, G4, etc...
 
Comedy and travel....then add a HD only package or add new packages to spice things up bit (Hey I can dream cant I)

your darn tooten......we need a college football playoff system ASAP.
 
"DirecTV has enough sports" really? As long as there is some sports channels or packages un-aired then they will try to get it.

This is why I will be seriously looking at Dish when my obligation is up.
