Even more than that, and your points are good, if you analyze the cost for the HD channels with even the basic package for Dish, it's cheaper that route than just paying for the HD channels, in terms of cost per HD channel when you break it down.

DirecTV picks up A&E's Crime & Investigation HD - Channel 275

JeffTheAlpaca

E! HD was added last Saturday April 21, 2012

Still waiting for BBC America, Fuse, and Reelz to be in HD.

DIY and Ion East are now in HD.

aktick

And of course BBC America, mentioned above your post, was added a few weeks back.

for DIY

WTF? for Ion.

DJariya

ION used to be PAX TV. They now show new episodes of Flashpoint (used to air on CBS) and repeats of Leverage, House, Without a Trace and Cold Case.

aktick

Yeah but unless the program guide isn't accurate, none of it is airing in HD.

Bill Needle

All right for DIY! Used to watch this channel plenty until I stopped watching anything in SD. There is maybe only 2 or 3 channels on DTV that I would actually ever tune to that are not in HD at this point.

Still waiting on an announcement for TWCSports.

DJariya

and Pac-12 Network, which is looking grim. Pac-12 just rejected 2 offers from Directv.

Somebody has to pay the bill for Time Warner Cable Sports and Pac-12 if they ever want to see the light of day on Directv. The money to pay for them isn't going to fall from the sky. People who don't like the Lakers and don't care for college sports obviously don't want them.

DJariya

I'm watching channel 305 right now and Flashpoint is 100% in HD.

aktick

Aaah, the guide lied then.

Fellow Directv members, it appears we'll be getting a bunch of new HD channels in the next few weeks if all goes according to plan. These channels just went into the test mode today per Sixto over at dbstalk:

204 *HLNHD FT D10 1 1040
232 *COOKHD FT D10 1 1030
253 *LMNHD FT D10 2 1010
271 *H2HD FT D10 1 1020
285 *IDHD FT D10 2 1030
304 *TVLDHD FT D10 2 1020
541 *EACTHD FT D10 2 1040
559 *IFCHD FT D10 1 1010

^ Just randomly went over there and saw this. Good news indeed.

DJariya

My Dad will be very happy about IDHD. He loves that channel.

Are they upgrading the other Encore channels? Seems weird to just upgrade Encore Action.

It's about time they upgrade TVLand. I have to wait 21 days for Hot in Cleveland to get posted in HD on Hulu since I refuse to watch it in SD.

Finally IFC in HD, last channel I watch regularly that I was waiting for.

OldBoy

IFC is a shell of its former self, HD or not.

Bacon

LMN,,ID and TVland go live tomorrow

Bill Needle

Nice. Hopefully H2 follows sooner than later.

So the Dodgers are reportedly close to moving from FOX to Time Warner. But, no they aren't going to be on TWCSN, which broadcasts the Lakers, they will apparently start their own fucking channel.

Great, another fight with Directv to get this channel added.

The deal is not 100% official yet.

How many fucking RSN's does the LA market need?

Bacon

according to smatvee.com it along with HLN, Cooking Channel and IFC will go live on the 31st, while encore action can't be confirmed

Red Dog

It's sad that every fucking sports team and college conference needs their own channel. It's going to kill DirecTV.

Bacon

conferences I can understand but not teams

Bill Needle

Should go live in HD tomorrow:

CNN Headline News
The Cooking Channel
H2
Encore Action
Independent Film Channel

Bacon

all five are on
H2 looks great in HD
