Hey, doesn't Spike still show Deep Space 9? It'd be cool if we got that in HD.
Edit: Just checked, and no HD for Spike, MTV or VH1. Hmm.

This is something that works pretty well with AT&T U-Verse. I'm surprised it has taken Directv this long (14 years) to make this standard. Good news for you guys!

We can't count the number of times we've gotten to work and remembered we forgot to schedule that night's American Idol football game to record on DirecTV, and wished we could do it using just our cell phone. Well, the satellite provider is adding the capability to do just that: with the DVR Scheduler (previously known as Remote Booking), you can log onto the mobile site at m.directv.com, and bounce a record signal from DirecTV's satellite down to your DVR in minutes. The soft launch has HR20-700 DVR models going live right about now, with more models and an official rollout scheduled for February. Even the venerable TiVo HR10-250 is scheduled to get this feature, and it's sure to be a big hit with commuters, travelers -- and the rest of us who don't properly set up our season pass recordings.

Got to give DirecTV credit. They said they wouldn't raise the HD access fee. Instead, they circumvent that raise in prices and up the cost of all packages.

The only time I've ever watched UHD is during the Olympics. I'll probably get it just for August because they tend to air the more obscure Olympic events that I prefer in HD on UHD.

We should get CNBC HD by then, too.
