Well for me as an SD DirecTV subscriber I would like DirecTV to add Hallmark Movie Channel in SD and HD.As for Starz Family and Starz Comedy DirecTV already has those in the Starz HD movie package,why their not in the regular SD Starz package is beyond me unless the $10. HD Access Fee has something to do with it?.
Well the need to play catch up now with their regular HD channels as well as locals.
How many Premiums do you really think D* is going to add, They barely have any Premiums as it is. I've been waiting 9 years for D* to add premiums.
and we got about 2 maybe 3 new ones in that time. Same 3 Cinemax Channels for $12, now $13,and the same lame A$$ HBO package for a Bargon price of $15 per month.
I had Hallmark Movie Channel when I was with Dish Network up until 4/2008. I watched maybe one movie on the channel. All the stuff is so old, I just wasn't interested. I would really like to have Lifetime HD, Travel Channel HD, WGN America HD, ESPNU HD.
I would like to have Hallmark Movie Channel. Old doesn't mean bad. TCM is a popular channel and all they play is old movies (granted that they do play them commercial free).
The last report I read is that DirecTV was going to make the Premium Movie channels they already have on HD with D12.I also believe that the reasons that DirecTV is not interested to add more Premium Movie channels is the programming on them is gradually shown on the channels DirecTV already has,then there's also the cost issue.I do enjoy that DirecTV has both feeds of HBO Family because HBO needs more family programming and that's one of the reasons I have HBO.
If I had FIOS in my area I would jump on it as well.
Pure uncompressed HD is a huge selling point to me.

Unfortunately FIOS is not available in my area(the boonies) but they will sell me DirecTV for my TV service.
As much as I like my D*, I would jump at the chance for FIOS myself. It will never happen here, so it is all for naught.
Ditto for me. I have Verizon FIOS 'net and phone svc and am very pleased with both but until/unless Verizon offers ST I'll pass on it for now. Maybe when the next DTV exclusive ST contract expires, the other providers will offer it in their prog choices. If that day comes, I have the main junction box installed so that'll be a head start on FIOS TV installation.
I've been curious about how FIOS compares with the major satt carriers in picture Q though. I need to stop by the neighbor's house to see for myself. I've heard from general talk that FIOS HD surpasses DTV in picture Q. But with the sports that DTV has, I'll stay with them for now.
Fios HD DVR and customer service, sucks.
PQ is good, channel options are good. But that DVR has no recording space, Customer service is worse then E* But Verizon has always been known for that IMO, atleast in the last 18 years I've had their internet and Phone service. But they still added 300,000 new customers last Quarter.
And E* can't add a Sub for the life of them.
I'll admit ST is a Great Option that D* has. Its too bad they make you commit to a base package to get it. I liked it the way it used to be, when you could just subscribe to the NFL pack.
