Geez, Louise! Confusing much? I wonder if mine will chance... I just re-bundled everything through Verizon because it was going to be much cheaper.

If you bundle with Verizon, can you still make programming changes via the DirecTV website?

Dozens of HD channels, MLB network, PBS and WB HD locals in many markets, etc.

Are they? They rolled out a lot a while back, but I haven't seen many more new ones in the last half-year or so besides MLB. I'm still waiting for AMC HD and ESPNU HD.

That's what I've been waiting patiently for, the last one I REALLY want. And IIRC it's been out on some cable providers for quite a while.

As long as we get AMC HD before Mad Men season three, I'll be fine. Otherwise :johnwoo:

I was hoping for it before Breaking Bad, but it's not looking like that'll happen.
