said by wmcbrine:said by tbeckner:YES - LOCAL Only channels (ABC/CBS/NBC/FOX from local areas only) via the MPEG4 sats, originally pegged for 2006 but DirecTV never made in 2006 (technical problems? Bad and late HR20 DVR?), so then they announce it for 2007.
They did deliver a lot of them in 2006 (including my market, though I don't have an MPEG-4 receiver myself). They do it market by market... I don't know if they met their goals for 2006, but there
are MPEG-4 HD locals up now in some places.
What I was pointing out was that DirecTV announced most of these same channels at the 2006 CES but never delivered in 2006, plus they announced their PC tuner and transfer to PC capabilities at 2006 CES and never delivered in 2006. DirecTV appears to announce VAPORWARE, and since some of these channels listed in their announcement do not exist and are not planned by these cable channel networks, how are they going to broadcast them (IE SciFi HD).
