re 100 hd channels

one of direcTVs reps told me about this a few months ago. he said that yes, many of the channels are local HD broadcasts, so FOX chicago, or NBC los angeles, etc. he did stress that many were new HD channels that were not local affiliates. he said that these channels WOULD NOT be available to tivo HD boxes, only direcTV branded boxes. he mentioned this only because i had called begging for a tivo HD box. he said all of this was launching march 2007.

DTV is not going to have that many national HD channels, but I guess if you factor in locals. Besides, do not count on seeing any new national HDs until at least late summer/early fall at the earliest. DTV does not launch Direct TV 10 and 11 until July. Take a few months for testing and they wont have any transponders up until at least Fall.

Someone over at the Satellite Guys forum actually called the head of PR at the SCI-FI channel (one of the HD channels listed in the D* keynote today). She said there is no SCI-FI HD channel. Me thinks D* is fibbing.

This is probably because DTV is going to MPEG-4 which isn't available in the Tivo DTV-DVRs like my HD one. Whenever I get around to it I'm calling to order the latest HD DVR from them. And with that and my PS3 (whenever I get it) my TV will orgasm all over itself.
