BigSqwert Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Anyone out there know when the 100 or so additional HD channels will finally make the air on DirecTv. The handful that are offered now are not cutting it for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The handful that are offered now are not cutting it for me. They've been talking about that for years. Not sure of any date though. I'm still waiting for the History Channel to be in HD and then I'd be set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigSqwert Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 I'm hoping F/X will switch over in time for the next Shield and Nip/Tuck seasons. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They also have a goal of 150 HD channels by the end of 08, I believe. The key satellite for the 100 project is supposed to launch in June, but after an explosion of a Dutch satellite in late January they may have some additional delays.

Jimbo's Drinker Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I believe you also need to get a bigger actual dish, which sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I moved I decided to get the HD package at my new place which involved getting a much larger dish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEWOOD Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 I actually just made the switch from Comcast to DirecTV. DirecTVs HD is much clearer and I am much more happy with the overall service of DirecTV. Should be interesting to see what new channels will be in HD.

BigSqwert Posted March 28, 2007 Author Share Posted March 28, 2007 And in case anyone forgot, February 17, 2009 is the national deadline for all broadcasts to be converted to HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not HD, digital. And yes, there's a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
