Please use this thread to discuss your feelings about upcoming national HD channels.
This thread will not be as tightly moderated as the rest of the site, but here's the tradeoff...in exchange for being able to rant a bit more, you can be assured that absolutely no one at DIRECTV will be using this thread for reference.
You can ask for all the new HD you want, but DIRECTV's marketing department knows that the 100-150 contributors to this thread are only a small part of the nearly 20,000,000 total subscribers.
*Please remember that all forum rules are still in effect.
*Please do not "bump" this thread.
*Other threads that do nothing but anticipate HD channels for which there is no information will be closed.
*This is not a DIRECTV vs. Dish thread, there are other threads for that.
If you have any questions as to what belongs in this thread or an individual channel thread please read the latest DIRECTV Programming Forum Rules (Link).
Slightly off topic but it would be cool if they added an English SAP feed for some of these programs. I was watching f1 practice on UNIDEP last night. Sure would have been cool to know what was being said.

Not my cup of tea, but the wife might watch once in awhile. I'm all in favor of keeping the ladies happy --makes it easier to keep a premium service like D* when the missus is happy too.
I got a email that OWN was being moved to more $ package. I have the Basic . Not going to miss it N. I will pay more for sports not going to pay more for Oprah.
I really want more spanish channels to be in HD, we only have 3. i dont count the twc since im not a laker fan. Bring back goltv, add bein ñ. Fox Deportes and Espn Deportes have a lot of different sports too Not only soccer. I guess im not that happy for the addition of univision deportes because im not mexican
Great to hear. While I don't agree with Oprah on much, especially her politics, I do appreciate some of the programming on the channel that I have watched with my wife. I'm sure my wife will be happy to hear this.
I downloaded Big Rich Atlanta just to see Style Network HD. No logo on the screen; it was used prior to the start of the program. Picture quality is very good.
So, is it accurate to say that DirecTV and Comcast have a pissing match going on which would help expalin why we don't yet have the following: Style Network HD, Oxygen HD, PBS Kids Sprout HD, and TV One HD? (I think it's been mentioned here that is the case.)

That's my guess. I mean why is Style and PBS Sprout in the tier right under Premier? Comcast must be charging an arm and leg for them.
I saw PBS Sprout in HD this weekend on cable. Crystal clear quality and my 4 month old seemed to like it. I don't get Sprout and Style in my DirecTV package, but I would upgrade if they were offered in HD.
As others have said, any HD is good to me. It will be fun to see how D* dances with the SEC next month when the SEC announces their own network. Just from watching the tango, or lack thereof, with the Pac-12 Network, may be interesting. Of course, the SEC Network will probably not begin until at least the fall with football.
That is definitely an April Fools day event. I haven't heard one person ask for OWN in HD. I don't watch OWN and it is hidden on my program guide deliberately.
We want Fox Movies in HD , that is number 1. Number 2 would be Ovation in HD. And number 1000 would be OWN .
I'll try to get a response, it could have been another case of the message being drafted before the contract was finalized. (Similar to what happened back when Ion HD didn't launch with the rest of the channels)

Any new HD is always a good thing. Everyone's tastes are different. Still hoping for Fox Movie Channel HD, Reelz HD and more Encore movie channels to be in HD.
