    Seriously what is your problem with me? It started a month ago when it was first announced as coming to the lineup with people wondering if it was coming in HD and I said no since they have no HD feed on C-Band, someone else mentioned the AppleTV/streaming thing and I also explained why that OTT...

    No ones asking you to become an apologist for SD. But I guess explaining why it involves numerous complicated issues way beyond any of our control and isn't as a simple as "You or your parent company now own it so you can do whatever you want with it without any ramifications" is being an...

    Why are you so obsessed with this? Dish doesn't even carry CNN International. Are you one of the few people willing to switch to the first provider to carry it in HD? If you care that much Dish subscribers can also login to CNNgo and stream CNN International in HD too. But sure whatever, not...

    Hopefully this is the last time they choose a Sunday for a launch day
  5. DIRECTV Programming
    CNN International has very little distribution in the USA, to the point that in 2015 Turner gave it away for free to all CNN subscribers via CNNgo, so it's not like the channel has been in high demand and being the first to have it in HD will get them a ton of new customers who will leave their...

    Yeah, back in the day CNNi's neighborhood was the Business/Information block that also contained other channels like CBC Newsworld International (the defunct Current/Al Jazeera America), America's Talking (now MSNBC), ZDTV (the defunct G4/TechTV), CBS Eye On People (the defunct Discovery People)...

    For the gazillionth time, CNN International has no HD feed for cable and satellite distribution in the USA. They were lucky to have what limited cable carriage it still had after CNNfn folded since it lost most of its distribution (including DirecTV) and was limited to the digital plus tier on...

    You got the numbers reversed, CNNi is 358 not 538.

    Yeah, Memphis and Myrtle Beach-Florence are clearly Braves territory, it's not one of those edge cases where the city itself is in another territory and the Braves are only in some bordering counties. Heck in the case of Myrtle Beach-Florence it's the only MLB team. I would complain to the...

    If they really mean the winback dept, you don't call them, they call you with comeback offers if the system determines your account standing was good enough to try to get back, after you turned down the final offer of the loyalty dept and cancelled. As for the loyalty dept, if by "was on att"...

    Already mentioned above, as for "inglorious", it's been explained in depth countless times in other threads, the channel has no HD feed for cable and satellite distribution. If the low pixel count is too much of a distraction for you that you can't pay attention to what an anchor at a desk in a...

    Before you replace any receivers you should tell us what those errors are. Since if it's affecting multiple receivers it could be a SWM/LNB issue or a cabling issue. (i.e. a pinched cable in a wall or in a crawl space or a bad connector that got moisture in it is enough to cause intermittent...

    Again, that's because they use the OTT TV Everywhere stream. For numerous technical and regulatory related reasons cable and satellite providers can't use that stream, they have to stick to the feed for providers on C-Band. Yes fiber delivery is a thing, but as we see every spring and fall with...

    I have premiere with a DirecTV account and I get CNNi. All 3 Epix channels also came in just fine after I ordered it via the my programming section on DirecTV.com
  15. DIRECTV Programming
    Because TV Everywhere authentication is far from a simple thing that requires multiple parties to do work on various systems... (Look for one of the numerous threads from back in the day complaining about the lack of WatchESPN, I explained it in depth there) Also, I ordered it via my account on...

    It's now available to order as a $5.99 addon if you login to your account. Also, Epix doesn't operate on a 6am day, so when it goes live at 6am ET, all 3 channels will be mid-movie.
  17. DIRECTV Programming
    CNN International is going to be on channel 358
  18. DIRECTV General Discussion
    There's nothing you can personally do as it's all contractual. The new owner launched a new TV everywhere platform, so until the contracts come into line many providers will be missing. Even the live stream that was on the site is now gone and redirects to a coming soon page on the WeLoveWeather...

    Mobile technology has pretty much matured to the point where it performs fast enough for everyday use. (Making calls, facetime/skype, taking pictures, browsing internet, social media, streaming on the go, etc) For that kind of use the current LTE networks are fast enough, so even if you live in...

    The pool of part time CINEHD channels used for part time sports channels remains unchanged. These aren't dipping into any of those, these are taking spaces that were left vacant after a bunch of RSNs and other part time CINEHD channels moved to D14 for its Puerto Rican mirroring abilities.
