Universal Sports is number one on my wish list, though I would like to see AMC HD and Lifetime HD (for Project Runway, primarily) too.
I'm a big fan of gymnastics and figure skating (and hockey, my husband likes skiing and cycling) ... All things Universal Sports offers a LOT of coverage of, usually live and very comprehensively.
I would never argue that there as many fans of gymnastics, track & field, skiing, swimming, cycling, or figure skating as there are of, say, football and basketball, but DirecTV has many niche channels, and there is value in having them even if I (one customer) will never, ever watch a single horse race, car race, wrestling match, fishing program or hunting show.
So far, Olympic sports are a totally uncovered niche, which makes it seem, to me, like a no brainer to add to DirecTV, if for nothing else but to enhance their "sports leader" status. And, right now, with the Games coming, would be the perfect, high profile time to make this addition.
Oh and, Universal Sports has a DirecTV action page here, where they ask that you write to DirecTV: http://www.universalsports.tv/I_want_Universal_Sports.html

Why were those the only channels selected for the poll ? Some sort of Directv test to see what do we think about the channels that have already been selected ? Those channels are pretty bad and with low public interest, maybe with the exception of ESPNU. Where is Travel HD ? AMC HD,IFC HD,SUNDANCE HD ?,All the HBOs HD ? Encore HD ? BBC AMERICA HD ?
Ya WTF is American Life Network? It doesn't even have a Wikipedia page. And half of them being HD feeds of channels we already have technically don't belong on this list.
