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).

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.
A few days ago, FMC had a fantastic Sophia Loren movie, Boy on a Dolphin, a panoramic tour of Greece , and she in one of her first important movies. In Technicolor and Cinemascope, , in SD . . had to turn it off, it was unwatchable.

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 .
You haven't been paying attention then. I have seen a few people ask for it, and I'm sure there are many that have been asking for it since their launch, they might just not be on this site. In case you haven't noticed the demographic of the people watching this channel probably doesn't have much of an overlap with the demographic of people that spend their time posting on internet boards about electronics and satellite TV service.

I myself have mentioned wanting it, not necessarily for myself as I rarely watch it, but for my wife, who watches it nearly every day.

FMC, Sundance, NASA*1, CSPANs*2, Epix*3 for me, please.

*1 --Shut up.
*2 --Shut way the heck up.
*3 --Yes, I know --and shut up.

;) Preemptive answers to those who feel the need to tell others they shouldn't want what they want.

I would like to see Telemundo HD DNS, beIN Sport en espanol, ESPN and Fox Deportes to complement the newly added Univision Deportes.

I also have a relatively new idea for HD (if one is into soccer). I'd like to see D* partner with beIN Sport to carry all games not carried live on beIN sport, for example the 6 or 7 matches that are concurrent in the Italian League at 9am East on Sundays and the same slate at Saturday 2pm East for the French League. All of those matches may utilize the 480-9 channel range on the weekends that the UEFA matches use during the week.

That'd be fine for 98% of the folk here, but millions still have SD receivers....and some of them are sons and daughters of The Irish and The Scots, maybe even some Welsh......
There's some Welch on my mothers side. I guess that's why half of mine still are SD. That's going to change soon (not as new hd soon :) ).
