Re: DirecTV - 100 HD Channels Coming


D* is kicking some HD right now but I am going to have to ride things out with E* for the time being. Besides not wanting to loose the Voom channels (Rave and Monsters HD) I have aprox. seventy five HD movies archived on an external hard drive from my 622 reciever that will be long gone if a switch is made. Charlie has stated that E* will continue to be the HD leader so now is the time for E* to step up to the plate and at least get a few more channels added.

I'm trying to stick it out myself, but Charlie needs to hurry up. E* has already lost a chunk of customers and will lose more if they don't get on the ball.

Re: DirecTV - 100 HD Channels Coming


From everything I have read Charlie has room for somewhere between 6-10 new HD channels right now but thats about it until they launch a new bird in early 2008. I do not understand their silence while customers are floating away.
