I've clearly missed something... its a Wednesday morning with a new satelite up and no one is talking about it? What gives? I clearly missed something.

 

[Stuart Sweet]

I'm sorry, there is nothing to report this morning.

In addition to all of the changes last week?

 

[Richierich]

They are getting ready to Launch The Travel Channel in HD so let's be Patient. I'm sure it must be coming soon!!!

 

[Rubbernecker]

ok cool thanks for the answer, wanted to make sure I wasnt missing anything.

Next Thursday, August 14. That has become our new "Wednesday".

 

[n3ntj]

Yep, that was the date in the official D* Press Release. That one I'd believe. Guess we'll have to wait another week to see what new HD channels they give us.

 

[merchione]

I cant wait...... it sucks I'm going to be out of town that week...crap

 

[Hutchinshouse]

Is there a list of new HD channels we'll get?

On the bright side, next week they'll probably add only ABCFamily, Planet Green, and the RSNs and we'll have a lot of whining and moaning until the next week when they start adding channels people actually want.

Aside from those listed, the only other channels being added are 2 Showtime channels and 3 or more PPVs.

1 ABC Family
1 Planet Green
2 Showtimes
23 - RSNs
3(+) PPVs

That is all of the promised "30 More", nothing else is 'coming' at this point.
I think everyone is heading for letdown...

Maybe I missed something, but the news release (if that was what it is called) clearly stated August 14th, not August 6th. Even this date was fuzzy, since they said that they will START putting up the new channels (to make 130 total).

I personally doubt that you'll be let down when all is said and done. That is not the full list, just the full list they chose to share.

If you're smart you publish the date as Thursday, but light 'em up on Wednesday and you have 24 hours to squash bugs before your stated go-live date.

They've done similar things in the past.

23 - RSNs
..

This was a misprint in the original release. Its now 23 TOTAL full time HD RSNs, not an additional 23.

 

[Hutchinshouse]

T-minus 2 days. Are we there yet?
