    Are you sure about neighboring locals? Many cable companies have dropped these in the last 5 years. Here in my local market Uverse only carries the locals, no neighboring channels. I checked to other Uverse markets with similar results - no neighboring stations.
  2. DIRECTV General Discussion
    I couple questions come to my mind about turning Uverse into Directv... 1. Does Uverse's land-line based network have the capacity to deliver the full Directv channel lineup, including Sunday ticket? My understanding was that Uverse was about at capacity. Then there are the rumored new...

    It'll be interesting to see if they leave Uverse TV and Directv as separate services or attempt to merge them into one brand. With different delivery methods and boxes/software in the field, will they even be able to deliver the same experience on both platforms?

    Sounds expensive. Bracing for new price increases in a few months...

    Dang, the picture quality is so bad, I can barely read the on-screen graphics.

    Jennifer Lopez and a group of investors bought FuseTV and are merging it into a new service to be called NuvoTV. I believe the plan is to target Latin-American viewers (in the USA.) So programming will be changing soon.

    The way I understand it, those stations are already "compressing", or more accurately carving up their given bandwidth. Each channel has a fixed amount of bandwidth. If they choose to deliver one channel it can have all the bandwidth, but as they add sub-channels that station has to divide up...

    There were rumors a couple of weeks ago that there would be a stand-alone streaming subscription option to Sunday Ticket for $199. http://appleinsider.com/articles/14/07/16/nfl-sunday-ticket-coming-to-ios-mac-for-2014-season-with-no-satellite-subscription-needed "Now you can access live...

    CNBC report this morning states that AT&T and Directv are in active talks on a deal up to $50B, slightly below the $100 per share number rumored earlier. ($95/share = $48B) Andrew Ross Sorkin (CNBC Analyst) said he thinks this deal will actually be harder to get gov't approval than the...

    Are you suggesting that AT&T would retrofit existing Uverse customers with D* dishes and move all video services to satellite? Sounds doubtful.

    I give it a year before they launch something like "Real Housewives of Math Professors"

    Well, if they stop running those shows about Hitler three times a week, I'm sure they'll have room for a wider variety of programming...

    By quietly talking about a Dish/Directv merger, the two companies can warn regulators that if they approve the Comcast-TW deal, they'll likely be facing even more consolidation within the industry.
  15. DIRECTV General Discussion
    If the Comcast-TW merger goes through, a Directv-Dish hookup becomes much more likely, just to stay competitive. Does the gov't want that much consolidation in the industry?

    Red button for local forecast doesn't work during commercials.

    52 pages about the weather (channel).... wow! ;)
  19. DIRECTV Programming
    As satisfying as upgrading existing SD channels to HD would be, I'd still prefer to be surprised by something new and different. An HD channel addition that would make me say, "wow, I wasn't expecting that!"

    Maybe if this arrangement sticks (TWC off / WN on) then Weather Nation will have some additional financial resources to upgrade their service. It would give TWC so real competition.
