Oh Joy!

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.

Red Dog

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

fujishig

What were the old prices?

Red Dog

I know PLUS HDDVR was 72.99

Jeremy517

Yes.

Jadzia

And how many new channels are they adding? None.

Jeremy517

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

fujishig

Wow, I thought it was 49.99... that must be the promotional rate.

Red Dog

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.

Jeremy517

Here are the last few months worth, not including locals.

1/21/2009 - Comedy Central HD, Sportsman SD + HD
1/1/2009 - MLB SD + HD
12/3/2008 - Golf HD and Versus HD (split)

8/14/2008 - Planet Green HD, ABC Family HD, Showtime Showcase HD, Showtime Extreme 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.

Jeremy517

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

aktick

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