It's Swanni and he doesn't have the ability to be either honest or intelligent. Nothing more needs to be said.

And we shall see who was correct. What he states about 3-D channels and PPV revenue seems to be right on the money though.

Dang, whay so hard on this guy?

But but but... Phillip Swann is president and publisher of TVPredictions.com. He has been quoted in dozens of publications and broadcast outlets, including CNN, Fox News, Inside Edition, The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Financial Times, The Associated Press and The Hollywood Reporter. Surely not! :lol:

People also quote Perez Hilton, and he's a moron also...

Didn't Satelliteracer say we were getting more HD channels (some in Extra pack, some regular?)

I also seem to remember seeing on here that 3D doesn't use a whole lot more bandwidth than regular HD.

Call me crazy, but I think I trust Satelliteracer much more than Swanni.

You're definitely not crazy. ;)

what that should say is swanni has stolen information from reputable publications and claimed it was his big scoop. that kind of thing gets you fired in the news business.

It's Swanni and he doesn't have the ability to be either honest or intelligent.While the conclusions are in many cases silly, the facts surrounding them are true (even if taken out of context).

[hdtvfan0001]

The facts surrounding Swanni's comments are no "facts" whatsoever.

The only crazy one is the person who wrote that piece on DirecTV's HD plans...its nothing more than speculation on his part...and if his track record is any indication....his guesses are 50-50 right/wrong.

Will they add more PPV HD channels...perhaps and probably.

Will they add more HD LIL channels....more than just likely.

Will they add more HD National Channels - for certain.

I think it's time to close this and refer people to the Official More HD thread.
